What Proper Seal Coating Gets You

Your driveway stops looking like it’s falling apart. The cracks quit spreading, water stops seeping through, and you get years more life out of asphalt you’ve already paid for.

Here’s what actually happens when seal coating is done right. Your asphalt gets a protective barrier that blocks water, UV rays, and chemicals from breaking down the surface. Small cracks get filled before they turn into expensive problems.

You’re not just making it look better for a few months. You’re buying yourself 2-3 more years before you need major repairs, and potentially doubling the life of your driveway. That’s real money saved, not just a cosmetic fix.

Asphalt Sealing Company Gardiners Point

We Actually Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling driveways and parking lots across Long Island for years. We know what works here and what doesn’t, because we’ve seen what happens when corners get cut.

Long Island weather is tough on asphalt. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rains create problems you don’t see everywhere else. We use materials and techniques that actually hold up in these conditions.

You’re not getting a crew that learned the job last week. You’re getting people who understand why your neighbor’s driveway failed after two years and how to make sure yours doesn’t.

Sealcoating Process Gardiners Point NY

How We Actually Do This Right

First, we clean your asphalt properly. That means removing all dirt, debris, and vegetation. If there are oil stains, we treat them. If there are cracks, we fill them with commercial-grade crack filler.

Then we apply the sealcoat using professional equipment, not brushes or squeegees. We use two thin coats instead of one thick one because it lasts longer and looks better. The material we use is coal tar or asphalt-based sealer designed for Long Island’s climate.

You’ll need to stay off it for 24-48 hours depending on weather. We’ll give you the real timeline, not an optimistic guess. When we’re done, you’ll have a uniform, protective surface that should last 2-3 years before needing another application.

What's Actually Included In Our Service

You get complete surface preparation, which most companies skip. We clean, repair cracks, treat oil stains, and make sure the surface is ready for sealer to actually bond properly.

We use commercial-grade materials, not the watered-down stuff from home improvement stores. Our equipment applies it evenly without streaks or thin spots. You get proper edge work around landscaping and structures.

We also protect your property. Grass, sidewalks, and garage doors get covered so you don’t have cleanup afterward. We’re not the cheapest option, but you’re paying for materials and methods that actually work long-term instead of quick fixes that fail in six months.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Gardiners Point?

Every 2-3 years for most driveways, but it depends on traffic and weather exposure. If your driveway faces south or gets heavy use, you might need it every 2 years. North-facing driveways in shaded areas can often go 3 years. The key is looking at the surface – when water stops beading and starts soaking in, or when the color fades to gray, it’s time. Don’t wait until you see major cracking because then you’re looking at repairs, not just maintenance.

What's the difference between cheap and expensive seal coating?

Cheap sealcoating uses watered-down material applied in one thick coat, often over a surface that wasn’t properly cleaned. It might look good for 6-12 months but then starts peeling and wearing off in patches. Quality sealcoating uses commercial-grade materials, proper surface prep, and two thin coats. It costs more upfront but lasts 2-3 years and actually protects your asphalt. The difference is whether you’re getting real protection or just temporary cosmetics.

Can you seal coat over cracks in my driveway?

Small cracks, yes – we fill them first with crack filler, then seal coat over them. Large cracks or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart need proper repair before sealing. Sealcoat isn’t a structural repair – it’s a protective coating. If you try to seal over major damage, you’ll just have expensive sealcoat peeling off damaged asphalt. We’ll tell you honestly what needs repair versus what can be sealed as-is.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can walk on it after 4-6 hours in good weather, but keep cars off for 24-48 hours minimum. Hot, dry days cure faster than cool, humid ones. We don’t schedule jobs when rain is expected within 24 hours because moisture ruins the curing process. If you have to use your driveway sooner, we can work with you on partial applications or alternative access, but rushing the cure time means the sealcoat won’t last as long.

Should I seal coat a brand new asphalt driveway?

No, wait at least 6-12 months. New asphalt needs time to cure and release oils before sealcoating will bond properly. If you seal too early, the sealcoat can actually prevent proper curing and cause problems later. Your asphalt contractor should tell you when it’s ready – usually when the surface stops feeling soft and the color changes from deep black to gray. Don’t let anyone talk you into sealing fresh asphalt.

What happens if it rains right after seal coating?

If it rains before the sealcoat cures (first 4-6 hours), it can wash away or create streaks and thin spots. That’s why we check weather forecasts carefully and won’t start a job if rain is likely. If unexpected rain hits a fresh job, we’ll come back and fix any damage at no charge. Once sealcoat is cured, rain actually helps it continue hardening. This is why choosing a contractor who understands timing and weather is important.
