Driveway Sealing Crab Meadow

What Proper Seal Coating Gets You

Your driveway stops looking like it’s falling apart. The cracks that let water seep in and cause real damage get sealed before they become expensive problems.

Fresh seal coating creates a protective barrier against everything Long Island weather throws at your asphalt. UV rays that fade and dry out the surface, water that freezes and expands in winter, and oil stains that used to be permanent.

You get 3-5 more years out of your pavement when it’s sealed properly. That’s thousands saved on premature replacement, plus a driveway that actually looks like you take care of your property.

Blacktop Sealing Process Crab Meadow

Here's How We Seal Your Driveway

First, we clean your driveway completely. Oil stains get treated, debris gets removed, and any vegetation growing in cracks gets cleared out. Surface prep determines how well the sealer bonds.

Next, we fill cracks with hot rubberized crack filler. This prevents water from getting underneath the new seal coat and causing the same problems you’re trying to fix.

Then we apply two thin coats of commercial-grade sealer using professional squeegees for even coverage. The first coat penetrates and bonds, the second coat provides the protective layer. Most driveways are ready for light foot traffic in 24 hours, vehicles in 48-72 hours depending on weather.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Crab Meadow?

Most driveways in Crab Meadow need seal coating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic and weather exposure. New asphalt should be sealed 6-12 months after installation once the oils have had time to cure. If your driveway is starting to look gray instead of black, or you can see aggregate showing through, it’s time to seal. Waiting too long means the asphalt deteriorates beyond what seal coating can protect, and you’re looking at expensive repairs or replacement instead of preventive maintenance.

What's the best time of year for seal coating on Long Island?

Late spring through early fall works best for seal coating in our area. You need temperatures above 50 degrees during application and for 48 hours afterward, with no rain in the forecast. We typically schedule most seal coating jobs between May and September when conditions are most favorable. Summer heat actually helps the sealer cure properly, but we avoid the hottest days when sealer can dry too quickly. Fall applications work well too, giving your driveway fresh protection before winter weather hits.

How long does seal coating last and what affects its lifespan?

Quality seal coating typically lasts 2-4 years in Long Island’s climate, depending on several factors. Heavy traffic, snow plowing, and exposure to salt all reduce lifespan. The condition of your asphalt before sealing matters too – seal coating protects good asphalt but can’t fix pavement that’s already failing. Using premium sealer and proper application technique extends the protection. Two thin coats always outlast one thick coat because they bond better and cure more evenly. Regular maintenance like prompt oil stain cleanup helps your seal coating last longer.

Can you seal coat over cracks or do they need repair first?

Small cracks get filled as part of our seal coating process, but larger cracks and holes need proper repair before sealing. Hairline cracks under 1/4 inch wide can be sealed over, though filling them first gives better results. Wider cracks let water penetrate underneath the seal coat, causing premature failure. We use hot pour crack filler for cracks up to about 1 inch wide. Anything larger, or areas with multiple cracks close together, may need patching or more extensive repair. Seal coating works best as preventive maintenance on structurally sound asphalt.

What's the difference between seal coating and resurfacing my driveway?

Seal coating protects existing asphalt that’s still in good condition, while resurfacing replaces the top layer of damaged pavement. If your driveway has minor cracks and is starting to look weathered, seal coating is the right choice and costs much less. But if you have large cracks, potholes, or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart, you need resurfacing or full replacement. Think of seal coating like painting your house – it protects and refreshes what’s already there. Resurfacing is more like putting on a new roof when the old one is failing.

How do I maintain my driveway after seal coating is applied?

Keep vehicles off for at least 48 hours, longer if it’s humid or cool. The surface may feel dry but still be curing underneath. After that, normal use is fine but avoid sharp turns or parking in the same spots repeatedly for the first week. Clean oil spills quickly since petroleum products can soften fresh sealer. Avoid using rock salt directly on new seal coating in winter – sand or calcium chloride ice melt work better. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing help maintain appearance between seal coating applications.
