What Proper Seal Coating Does

Your asphalt faces a beating every day. Sun breaks down the binding agents. Water seeps into tiny cracks and freezes, making them bigger. Oil stains set in permanently.

Seal coating creates a protective barrier that stops this damage before it starts. You get 3-5 more years from your driveway, which means avoiding that $8,000-$15,000 replacement cost that’s coming if you wait too long.

The rich black finish also brings back that new driveway look. Your property looks maintained and cared for, which matters whether you’re planning to sell or just want to feel good pulling into your driveway every day.

Trusted Holtsville Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Asphalt

We’ve been protecting Long Island driveways and parking lots for years. We understand what the coastal climate does to asphalt here – the salt air, the freeze-thaw cycles, the intense summer sun.

We’re not the guys who show up with a bucket and a squeegee. We use commercial-grade sealers and professional equipment because we’ve seen what happens when seal coating is done wrong. It peels, it looks patchy, and you end up paying twice.

We serve Holtsville and the surrounding communities because we live here too. We know which products hold up to Long Island weather and which ones don’t.

Our Seal Coating Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly. Any oil stains get treated, weeds get removed from cracks, and the entire surface gets power washed. This step matters because sealer won’t bond properly to dirty asphalt.

Next, we fill any cracks larger than a quarter-inch. Small cracks get sealed during the coating process, but bigger ones need attention first or they’ll show through and continue growing.

Then we apply the sealer using commercial spray equipment for even coverage. We typically apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat – it looks better and lasts longer. The whole process takes 4-6 hours for most driveways, and you can walk on it the same day, drive on it the next.

What's Included in Sealcoating

Complete Asphalt Protection Service

Every seal coating job includes thorough cleaning, crack filling up to a certain linear footage, two coats of commercial-grade sealer, and clean edge work around your garage, walkways, and landscaping.

We only work in proper weather conditions. If it’s going to rain within 24 hours or if temperatures are below 50 degrees, we reschedule. Rushing the job in bad weather means poor results, and we won’t do that to your property.

You’ll also get realistic expectations upfront. Seal coating protects and beautifies your asphalt, but it won’t fix structural problems or make a 20-year-old driveway look brand new. We’ll tell you honestly what seal coating can and can’t do for your specific situation.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Holtsville?

Most driveways in the Holtsville area need seal coating every 2-3 years. The exact timing depends on your driveway’s age, how much traffic it gets, and how well it was maintained previously. A driveway that’s been regularly seal coated can often go 3 years between applications. One that’s been neglected might need annual treatment for the first few years to get back on track. We can assess your specific situation and give you a realistic timeline during our estimate.

Can you seal coat over cracks and small potholes?

We can seal coat over small cracks – that’s part of what the sealer does. Cracks larger than a quarter-inch get filled first as part of our standard process. Small potholes need to be patched with asphalt before seal coating, which we can handle as an additional service. However, if your driveway has extensive cracking or multiple potholes, seal coating might not be the right solution. Sometimes the underlying base has failed and needs more extensive repair. We’ll be honest about what makes sense for your situation.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can walk on seal coating within 4-6 hours under normal conditions. Light vehicle traffic is usually fine after 24 hours. We recommend waiting 48 hours before parking cars on it regularly, especially in cooler weather or high humidity. The sealer continues to cure for several days, reaching full hardness after about a week. Weather plays a big role – hot, dry conditions speed up curing while cool, humid weather slows it down. We’ll give you specific guidance based on the forecast when we do your job.

What's the difference between seal coating and resurfacing my driveway?

Seal coating is preventive maintenance for asphalt that’s still in good structural condition. It protects the surface and restores appearance but doesn’t add significant thickness or fix major problems. Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of asphalt over the existing surface, typically 1.5-2 inches thick. Resurfacing costs much more but can fix moderate surface problems and add years to a driveway’s life. If your asphalt is mostly sound with just surface wear and minor cracking, seal coating is the smart choice. Extensive cracking, potholes, or base failure usually means you need resurfacing or full replacement.

Do you guarantee your seal coating work?

We stand behind our workmanship and materials. If the sealer fails prematurely due to application issues or material defects, we’ll make it right. However, seal coating isn’t a permanent solution – it’s designed to last 2-3 years under normal conditions. We can’t guarantee against damage from snowplows, oil spills, or normal wear and tear. What we can guarantee is that we’ll use quality materials, apply them properly, and be honest about what you can expect. Most of our customers become repeat clients because they’re happy with both our work and our straightforward approach.

Can seal coating be done in fall or does it have to be spring?

Fall is actually an excellent time for seal coating in the Holtsville area. The key requirements are temperatures above 50 degrees and no rain for 24 hours after application. Fall often provides ideal conditions – cooler temperatures mean the sealer doesn’t dry too quickly, and there’s typically less humidity than summer. We can work well into October and sometimes November depending on the weather. Spring is popular because people notice winter damage, but fall seal coating gives you a head start on protecting your asphalt before the next winter hits.
