What Proper Seal Coating Actually Does

Your driveway stops looking like it’s been abandoned. The rich black finish returns, cracks get sealed before they become potholes, and water can’t seep down to damage your foundation.

You’re not just getting a cosmetic upgrade. You’re getting 3-5 more years out of your current asphalt before you need to think about replacement. That’s the difference between spending a few hundred now or several thousand later.

The surface becomes smooth again. No more scraping your car on uneven spots or worrying about guests tripping on cracked pavement. Your property looks maintained, which matters more than most people want to admit.

Trusted Asphalt Sealing East Farmingdale

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling driveways and parking lots across Nassau County for years. We understand what Long Island weather does to asphalt – the freeze-thaw cycles, the salt damage, the way our summers bake everything.

Our crew shows up when we say we will. We use commercial-grade sealers that actually hold up to our climate, not the watered-down stuff you see peeling off driveways after one winter.

We’ve sealed everything from small residential driveways in East Farmingdale to large commercial lots. Same attention to detail, same materials, same process that works.

Driveway Sealing Process East Farmingdale

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly. Oil stains get treated, debris gets removed, and cracks get filled properly. You can’t seal over problems and expect good results.

Next comes the actual sealcoating application. We use professional sprayers and squeegees to get even coverage without thin spots or puddles. The sealer needs to cure for 24-48 hours depending on weather.

You’ll see the difference immediately – that fresh black appearance that makes your property look maintained again. But the real value is happening underneath where the sealer is blocking water, UV rays, and chemicals from breaking down your asphalt.

The whole process typically takes 4-6 hours for an average driveway, plus cure time. You’ll need to keep vehicles off for at least 24 hours, sometimes longer if it’s humid.

What's Included in Professional Sealcoating

You get thorough surface preparation, which most contractors skip. That means proper cleaning, crack filling with hot rubberized crack filler, and oil spot treatment. Without prep work, sealcoating fails early.

The sealer itself is commercial-grade material designed for New York’s climate. It’s not the cheap stuff that washes away after the first hard rain. This sealer penetrates and bonds with your existing asphalt.

We handle the details that matter – protecting your landscaping, keeping sealer off your house and walkways, and making sure edges are clean. You get professional results that look like they belong, not like someone dumped black paint on your driveway.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in East Farmingdale?

Every 2-3 years is the sweet spot for Long Island driveways. New asphalt should wait at least 6 months before the first sealcoating to let oils cure out. After that, regular sealcoating every 2-3 years keeps your asphalt in good shape. If you wait longer than 4 years, you’re usually looking at more expensive repairs because cracks have had time to let water damage the base. The key is staying ahead of problems, not trying to fix them after they’ve gotten bad.

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

Late spring through early fall works best – basically May through September. You need temperatures above 50 degrees for at least 24 hours after application, and no rain in the forecast. Summer is actually ideal because the heat helps the sealer cure properly. Avoid sealcoating right before winter because the sealer needs time to fully bond before facing freeze-thaw cycles. Spring is popular because you can assess winter damage and get protection in place before summer heat starts breaking down your asphalt.

How long does seal coating last in our climate?

Quality sealcoating typically lasts 2-3 years in Long Island’s climate before you need reapplication. The lifespan depends on traffic, weather exposure, and the quality of materials used. Commercial-grade sealers hold up better than cheap alternatives, especially against our winter salt and summer UV exposure. You’ll know it’s time for reapplication when the rich black color starts fading to gray and you can see aggregate showing through. Don’t wait until it’s completely worn off – that defeats the protective purpose.

Can you sealcoat over cracks and small potholes?

Small cracks get filled as part of proper sealcoating, but larger cracks and potholes need repair first. Hairline cracks under 1/4 inch wide can be sealed effectively with hot rubberized crack filler before sealcoating. Bigger problems need patching or you’re just putting a band-aid over structural issues. Potholes definitely need proper patching with hot asphalt before any sealcoating happens. The goal is to fix problems, then protect the repair with sealcoating – not hide problems under a thin layer of sealer.

What should I do to prepare my driveway for sealcoating?

Move all vehicles, lawn furniture, and anything else off the driveway. We will handle the cleaning and prep work, but we need clear access to the entire surface. If you have oil stains, point them out – they need special treatment before sealcoating. Trim back any bushes or plants that might get in the way of equipment. Make sure there’s water access for cleanup. The most important thing is keeping the driveway clear for 24-48 hours after application so the sealer can cure properly.

How much does professional sealcoating cost compared to replacement?

Sealcoating typically runs $0.15-0.25 per square foot, while asphalt replacement costs $3-7 per square foot. For an average 1,000 square foot driveway, you’re looking at $150-250 for sealcoating versus $3,000-7,000 for replacement. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years can extend your asphalt’s life by 10-15 years, making it one of the best maintenance investments you can make. Even if you sealcoat five times over the life of your driveway, you’re still spending less than $1,500 to protect a multi-thousand dollar investment.
