What Proper Seal Coating Does

Your asphalt faces a beating every day. Sun breaks down the binders that hold everything together. Water seeps into small cracks and freezes, turning hairline issues into major problems. Salt and chemicals from winter treatments eat away at the surface.

Seal coating creates a protective barrier that stops this damage before it starts. You get a smooth, dark surface that looks fresh and professional. More importantly, you avoid the headache of watching your driveway or parking lot fall apart over the next few years.

The difference is clear when you drive through neighborhoods where some properties maintained their asphalt and others didn’t. One group has smooth, attractive pavement. The other group is dealing with cracks, potholes, and eventually complete replacement costs that run into the thousands.

Lake Ronkonkoma Heights Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Pavement

We’ve been handling asphalt projects across Long Island for years. We understand how the weather here affects your pavement and what it takes to make seal coating last.

You’re not getting a crew that learned about asphalt maintenance from a manual. Our team has seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to protecting driveways and parking lots in this area. We use commercial-grade sealers and apply them when conditions are right, not when it’s convenient for us.

Most property owners in Lake Ronkonkoma Heights deal with the same issues – winter damage, summer heat stress, and the constant wear from daily use. We’ve built our process around solving these specific problems.

Asphalt Sealing Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we clean your asphalt surface completely. Oil stains, debris, and loose material get removed because sealer won’t bond properly to a dirty surface. Any cracks that need filling get addressed before we start the main application.

Next comes the actual seal coating. We apply the sealer evenly using professional equipment, not the basic tools you’d find at a home improvement store. The material we use is designed for Long Island’s climate – it handles temperature swings and moisture better than standard products.

The final step is letting everything cure properly. We’ll tell you exactly when you can walk on it and when vehicles can return. Rushing this part ruins the whole job, so we make sure you know what to expect for timing. Most residential driveways are ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours and vehicles within 48-72 hours, depending on weather conditions.

What's Included in Our Service

You get thorough surface preparation, which most contractors skip or rush through. This includes power washing when needed and proper crack filling for anything larger than hairline cracks. We don’t just spray sealer over problems and hope for the best.

The sealer itself is commercial-grade material that’s mixed properly and applied at the right thickness. Too thin and it won’t protect anything. Too thick and it won’t cure correctly. We’ve done enough of these projects to know exactly what your specific surface needs.

We also handle the details that matter – protecting your landscaping, keeping sealer off your house or building, and making sure edges are clean and professional-looking. You won’t find overspray on your garage door or sealer tracked onto your walkways. The job isn’t finished until your property looks better than when we started, not just the sealed area.

Properly applied seal coating typically lasts 2-3 years in our climate, though this depends on traffic levels and weather exposure. Residential driveways with normal use often get 3 years of protection, while high-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to harsh conditions may need reapplication sooner. The key is using quality sealer and applying it correctly – cheap materials or poor application techniques can fail within a year. We recommend inspecting your sealed surface annually and planning for reapplication when you notice the coating starting to wear thin or fade significantly.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions, typically May through September. We need temperatures above 50 degrees during application and for at least 24 hours afterward, with no rain in the forecast for 24-48 hours. Summer months are ideal because the sealer cures faster and more completely in warm, dry conditions. We avoid winter and early spring applications because moisture and cold temperatures prevent proper curing, leading to premature failure. If you’re planning seal coating, booking in late spring gives you the most flexibility for scheduling around weather conditions.
Small hairline cracks can be sealed over, but anything larger needs proper crack filling first. Seal coating isn’t a crack repair solution – it’s a protective coating that works best on structurally sound asphalt. If you have cracks wider than a quarter-inch or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart, those need to be addressed before sealing. Otherwise, the cracks will continue expanding underneath the sealer and eventually break through. We evaluate your pavement condition and handle necessary crack repairs as part of the preparation process, ensuring the seal coating has a solid foundation to protect.
Professional seal coating typically costs $0.15-$0.25 per square foot for residential driveways, while DIY materials run about $0.07-$0.10 per square foot. However, DIY projects often fail within a year due to improper surface prep, wrong application techniques, or inferior materials. When you factor in the cost of redoing failed DIY work, professional application usually costs less long-term. Plus, we have commercial-grade equipment and sealers that aren’t available to homeowners, along with the experience to handle weather timing and application thickness correctly. Most property owners find the peace of mind and guaranteed results worth the additional upfront cost.
Oil stains need to be properly cleaned and treated before seal coating, or the sealer won’t adhere correctly. Fresh oil stains are particularly problematic because they prevent bonding and can cause the sealer to peel or wear off quickly. We use specialized cleaners and techniques to remove or neutralize oil contamination as part of our surface preparation. Older, set-in stains that have been there for years are usually less problematic, but we still treat them to ensure proper adhesion. The key is honest assessment – if a stain is too severe or the contamination too deep, we’ll tell you upfront rather than apply sealer over a surface that won’t hold it.
Rain within the first 24 hours can damage or ruin fresh seal coating, which is why we check weather forecasts carefully before starting any project. If unexpected rain hits before the sealer has cured, it can wash away the coating, create streaks, or prevent proper bonding to the asphalt. Light moisture after 24 hours usually isn’t a problem, but heavy rain can still cause issues until the sealer is fully cured. We monitor weather conditions constantly and will delay or reschedule applications when there’s any significant chance of precipitation. If weather does damage fresh work, we return to fix or redo the affected areas at no additional cost.
