What Proper Seal Coating Does

Your driveway faces a beating every day. New York winters hit it with freeze-thaw cycles that crack the surface. Summer heat oxidizes the asphalt, turning it gray and brittle. Rain finds every tiny crack and makes it bigger.

Seal coating creates a protective barrier that stops this damage before it starts. You get a waterproof surface that sheds water instead of absorbing it. The rich black finish makes your property look well-maintained and cared for.

Most importantly, you’re buying time. A properly sealed driveway lasts 3-5 years longer than an unsealed one. That’s thousands of dollars you don’t have to spend on replacement or major repairs. It’s the difference between a $500 maintenance job and a $5,000 reconstruction project.

Our Asphalt Sealing Process

How We Seal Your Driveway Right

First, we clean your driveway completely. Oil stains get treated with degreaser. Weeds and debris get removed from cracks. We’re not sealing over problems – we’re fixing them first.

Next comes crack filling. Small cracks get filled with rubberized crack filler that moves with temperature changes. This prevents water from getting underneath and causing bigger problems later.

Then we apply the sealer in thin, even coats. We use squeegees and brushes to ensure complete coverage without puddles or thin spots. The sealer needs to cure for 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.

You’ll see the difference immediately. Your driveway looks like new asphalt again. More importantly, it’s protected against everything Mother Nature throws at it for the next few years.

What's Included in Every Job

Every seal coating job starts with thorough surface preparation. We clean oil stains, remove vegetation, and fill cracks up to a quarter-inch wide. This isn’t an upcharge – it’s part of doing the job right.

We only work with high-quality coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealers designed for residential driveways. These materials provide better adhesion and longer-lasting protection than the cheap stuff some contractors use.

Weather matters for this work. We don’t seal driveways when rain is forecast within 24 hours or when temperatures are below 50 degrees. You might wait a few extra days, but you get a seal coat that actually lasts. We’d rather reschedule than give you subpar results.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in New York?

Most driveways in the Heer Park area need seal coating every 2-3 years. New asphalt should wait 6-12 months before the first application to let oils cure out of the surface. After that, you’re looking at regular maintenance every few years. Driveways that get heavy use or have southern exposure might need it more frequently. The key is watching for signs like fading color, small cracks appearing, or water soaking into the surface instead of beading up. If you can see aggregate stones clearly through the surface, it’s definitely time.

What's the best time of year for driveway sealing?

Late spring through early fall gives you the best conditions for seal coating. You need temperatures above 50 degrees during application and for 24 hours afterward. No rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours, preferably 48. September and October are often ideal because you get warm days, cool nights, and less chance of surprise thunderstorms. Avoid the hottest summer days when sealer can dry too quickly and not level properly. Winter applications just don’t work in New York – the sealer won’t cure correctly in cold temperatures.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can typically walk on a sealed driveway after 4-6 hours in good weather. But don’t drive on it for at least 24 hours, and 48 hours is better. The surface might feel dry to the touch, but it’s still curing underneath. Driving on it too early can leave tire marks or cause the sealer to peel. Hot weather speeds up drying time, while humidity and cooler temperatures slow it down. We always give you specific timing based on the weather forecast when we do your job.

Should I seal coat over small cracks in my driveway?

Small cracks need to be filled before seal coating, not just covered over. Sealer alone won’t stop water from getting into cracks – it’s too thin. We use rubberized crack filler that stays flexible as the asphalt expands and contracts with temperature changes. Cracks wider than a quarter-inch might need more extensive repair before sealing. The goal is to create a smooth, watertight surface. Sealing over unfilled cracks is like painting over rust – it looks better temporarily but doesn’t solve the underlying problem.

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

Coal tar sealer provides better protection against gas and oil spills, which makes it popular for driveways. It also tends to last longer and maintain its black color better. Asphalt emulsion is more environmentally friendly and easier to apply in cooler weather. Both work well for residential driveways when applied properly. The bigger difference is in application quality and surface preparation than in sealer type. A properly applied asphalt emulsion sealer will outperform a poorly applied coal tar sealer every time. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific driveway and usage patterns.

How much does professional driveway seal coating cost?

Most residential driveways in the Heer Park area cost between $300-800 to seal coat, depending on size and condition. That includes cleaning, crack filling, and two coats of sealer. Driveways needing extensive crack repair or oil stain treatment cost more. The investment pays for itself by extending your driveway’s life and preventing expensive repairs. Compare that to $3,000-8,000 for driveway replacement and seal coating becomes an easy decision. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what’s included so you know what you’re paying for.
