What Proper Seal Coating Actually Does

You’re not just getting a fresh black coat. You’re getting a protective barrier that stops water from seeping into cracks and turning into expensive problems come winter.

When your asphalt is properly sealed, it handles Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without developing those spider web cracks that spread every season. The surface stays flexible, water runs off instead of penetrating, and UV rays can’t break down the binder that holds everything together.

Your driveway looks sharp, sure. But more importantly, you’re avoiding the headache of major repairs or full replacement for years longer than you would without protection. That’s money staying in your pocket and one less thing to worry about.

Sealcoating Company Dix Hills

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been protecting driveways and parking lots across Long Island for years. We understand what our coastal climate does to asphalt and how to fight back against it.

We’re not the guys who show up with bargain materials and rush through the job. We use commercial-grade sealers, wait for the right weather conditions, and take the time to prep surfaces properly.

Your neighbors trust us because we do what we say we’ll do. No surprises, no shortcuts, just solid work that holds up to what Long Island weather throws at it.

Asphalt Sealing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we clean your driveway completely. Oil stains, debris, loose material – everything comes off. You can’t seal over dirt and expect it to stick.

Next, we fill any cracks with flexible crack filler. This prevents water from getting underneath the new seal coat and causing problems later. We’re not just covering up issues – we’re fixing them.

Then comes the actual sealcoating. We apply it evenly with professional equipment, making sure every square inch gets proper coverage. No thin spots, no missed areas. The whole process takes a day, and you’ll need to stay off it for 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.

What You Get With Our Service

Every sealcoating job includes thorough surface cleaning, crack filling where needed, and two coats of high-quality sealer applied with professional equipment. We don’t cut corners on prep work because that’s what makes the difference between a job that lasts and one that peels off in a year.

We only work in proper weather conditions – no sealing when it’s too hot, too cold, or when rain is coming. Your driveway gets the full cure time it needs, which means better adhesion and longer protection.

You’ll know exactly when you can walk on it, when you can drive on it, and what to expect during the curing process. No guesswork, no surprises.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Dix Hills?

Most driveways in our area need seal coating every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. A south-facing driveway gets more UV exposure and might need attention sooner. Heavy traffic areas wear faster. The best indicator is when your asphalt starts looking gray instead of black, or when you can see small cracks starting to form. Waiting too long means you’re playing catch-up instead of preventing problems. We can take a look and give you an honest assessment of where yours stands.

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

Late spring through early fall gives us the best conditions – basically when nighttime temperatures stay above 50 degrees and we have a couple of dry days in the forecast. We need the sealer to cure properly, and that means no rain for at least 24 hours after application. Summer can work, but we avoid the hottest days because the sealer sets up too fast. Fall is actually ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. We’ll work with your schedule, but weather always has the final say.

Can you seal coat over existing cracks in my driveway?

Small cracks, yes – we fill them first with flexible crack filler before applying the seal coat. But if your driveway has major cracking or alligator patterns, seal coating won’t fix those structural issues. It’ll make them look better temporarily, but the problems will come back. We’ll be honest about what seal coating can and can’t do for your specific situation. Sometimes minor repairs need to happen first, and sometimes it makes more sense to plan for replacement instead of throwing good money after bad.

How long do I have to stay off my driveway after sealing?

Plan on 24-48 hours before you can drive on it, depending on temperature and humidity. You can usually walk on it after 4-6 hours, but we recommend staying off completely if possible. Cooler weather means longer cure times. Hot, dry conditions speed things up. We’ll give you the specific timeline based on conditions when we do the work. Rushing it and driving on sealer that’s not fully cured can leave tire marks that won’t come out, so it’s worth being patient.

Is all seal coating material the same quality?

Not even close. You’ve got everything from cheap latex-based sealers that barely last a year to commercial-grade coal tar and asphalt emulsions that provide real protection. The bargain stuff might look good initially, but it wears off fast and doesn’t provide much actual protection. We use professional-grade materials that cost more upfront but last longer and protect better. You’re not just paying for black color – you’re paying for UV protection, water resistance, and flexibility that moves with your asphalt through temperature changes.

What should I do to prepare my driveway before you arrive?

Move all cars, bikes, and anything else off the driveway and keep them off until we’re completely finished. If you have oil stains, let us know – we can treat them, but they need special attention. Don’t power wash right before we come; we’ll handle the cleaning as part of the prep work. Make sure we have access to water and that you’re okay with us blocking the driveway for the day. If you have automatic sprinklers, we’ll need to coordinate timing so they don’t hit the fresh sealer.
