What Proper Seal Coating Does

Your driveway takes a beating from Davis Park’s weather. Rain seeps into small cracks, freezes, and turns minor issues into major headaches. Oil stains set in permanently. UV rays fade that rich black color to dull gray.

Seal coating creates a protective barrier that stops water penetration before it starts. You’re looking at 3-5 extra years of pavement life when it’s done right. That’s the difference between a $500 seal coating job and a $5,000 repaving project.

The fresh seal restores that deep black appearance that makes your property look maintained and professional. It’s not just about looks though – you’re preventing oxidation, protecting against chemical damage, and creating a surface that’s easier to clean and maintain year-round.

We Know Long Island Pavement

We’ve been protecting Long Island asphalt for years. We understand how the salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy traffic affect your pavement differently than other regions.

You’re not getting a crew that learned the trade somewhere else and moved here. We’ve been dealing with Davis Park’s specific climate challenges from day one. We know when conditions are right for application and when to wait.

Our approach is straightforward – show up when scheduled, use commercial-grade materials, and explain what we’re doing so you understand the process. No surprises, no upselling, just solid work that protects your investment.

Seal Coating Process Explained

Here's What Actually Happens

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly. Any oil stains get treated with primer. Cracks larger than a quarter-inch are filled with hot rubberized crack filler – this step is crucial because sealer alone won’t bridge gaps.

Next comes the actual seal coating application. We use commercial-grade coal tar emulsion or asphalt emulsion depending on your specific needs. Two thin coats perform better than one thick coat, so that’s how we apply it.

Weather matters more than most people realize. We won’t seal if rain is forecast within 24 hours or if temperatures are below 50 degrees. The sealer needs proper curing time to form that protective barrier you’re paying for. You’ll be able to walk on it after 4-6 hours, but we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before driving on it.

What's Included in Every Job

Every seal coating job starts with thorough cleaning using commercial blowers and power washing when needed. We’re not just spraying sealer over dirt and debris – that’s how you get a job that fails in six months.

Crack filling is included for standard hairline cracks. Larger repairs are discussed upfront so there are no surprises. We use hot pour crack filler that moves with your pavement instead of cheap cold patch that pops out after one winter.

Edge work around your driveway gets hand-brushed for clean lines. We protect your landscaping, walkways, and garage floors with plastic sheeting. Cleanup is part of the service – you shouldn’t have to deal with sealer drips on your property after we leave.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Davis Park?

Most driveways in Davis Park need seal coating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic and exposure. A driveway that gets heavy use or faces south with full sun exposure might need attention every 2 years. Lighter traffic areas can often go 3-4 years between applications. The key indicator is color – when your asphalt starts looking gray instead of black, it’s time. Don’t wait until you see significant cracking because by then you’re looking at repairs plus sealing, which costs more than preventive maintenance.

What's the difference between coal tar and asphalt-based sealers?

Coal tar sealer provides better protection against gas and oil spills, which makes it ideal for driveways where cars are parked regularly. It also resists UV damage better and typically lasts longer. Asphalt-based sealers are more environmentally friendly and work well for areas with lighter traffic. In Davis Park’s climate, both perform well, but coal tar tends to hold up better to the freeze-thaw cycles we get each winter. The choice often comes down to your specific situation and environmental preferences.

Can you seal coat over existing cracks in my driveway?

Small hairline cracks can be sealed over, but anything larger than a quarter-inch needs to be filled first. Sealer isn’t designed to bridge gaps – it’s meant to protect solid asphalt. If we just seal over larger cracks, they’ll show through within months and water will still penetrate. Proper crack filling with hot pour material creates a flexible seal that moves with your pavement. This adds to the cost but prevents the bigger problems that come from water getting underneath your asphalt.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can walk on sealed asphalt after 4-6 hours in good weather conditions. For vehicles, wait at least 24 hours, though 48 hours is better for heavy vehicles or if the weather has been humid. Temperature and humidity affect drying time significantly. Cool, damp conditions slow the process while warm, dry weather speeds it up. We’ll give you specific timing based on the forecast when we do your job. Rushing this step can damage the fresh seal and leave tire marks that won’t come out.

What time of year is best for seal coating in Davis Park?

Late spring through early fall works best – typically May through September. The key is consistent temperatures above 50 degrees with no rain forecast for 24 hours after application. Summer can be tricky because extremely hot days make the sealer dry too quickly, which can cause issues with adhesion. Early fall is often ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. We don’t recommend seal coating in winter or early spring because temperature fluctuations can prevent proper curing.

Will seal coating fix the drainage problems in my driveway?

Seal coating won’t fix major drainage issues, but it can help with minor water penetration problems. If water is pooling because of low spots or improper grading, you’ll need those areas addressed before sealing. However, seal coating does prevent water from seeping into small cracks and causing freeze-thaw damage that makes drainage worse over time. If your driveway has significant drainage problems, we’ll discuss grading or repair options before applying any sealer. Sealing over major drainage issues just masks the problem temporarily.
