Your Asphalt Gets Real Protection

You’re looking at cracked, faded asphalt that’s making your property look tired. Every season without protection means water seeping deeper, freeze-thaw cycles doing more damage, and your replacement timeline moving up faster than you’d like.

Professional seal coating stops that deterioration in its tracks. You get 3-5 more years from your existing asphalt, which translates to thousands saved on premature replacement. The fresh, dark appearance immediately boosts your curb appeal and property value.

Here’s what actually happens: quality sealer penetrates surface pores, creating a waterproof barrier that blocks UV rays, prevents oxidation, and stops minor cracks from becoming major problems. Your driveway looks new again, but more importantly, it’s protected against Long Island’s harsh coastal climate and winter conditions.

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been protecting Long Island driveways and parking lots for years, and we understand exactly what coastal weather does to asphalt. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure create unique challenges that require the right approach and materials.

We use commercial-grade sealers and professional equipment because we’ve seen what happens when corners get cut. Our team knows the difference between a quick cosmetic fix and real protection that lasts.

Every job gets proper surface preparation, quality materials, and application techniques that actually work in New York’s climate. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional – you’re investing in protection that performs when you need it most.

Asphalt Sealing Process Mastic

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly – removing dirt, debris, and vegetation that would prevent proper sealer adhesion. Any significant cracks get filled and leveled because sealer alone won’t fix structural issues.

Next comes the actual application using professional-grade equipment that ensures even coverage and proper thickness. We don’t rush this part because thin, uneven application is where most seal coating jobs fail within the first year.

Weather timing matters more than most people realize. Temperature, humidity, and forecast all factor into scheduling because sealer needs proper curing conditions to perform correctly. You’ll get specific guidance on when to avoid foot traffic and vehicle use – usually 24-48 hours depending on conditions.

The result is a uniform, protective coating that looks professional and actually protects your investment for years, not months.

What Your Project Actually Includes

Every seal coating project starts with honest assessment of your asphalt’s condition. If your surface has major structural issues, we’ll tell you upfront – because sealer can’t fix problems that require actual repair work.

You get thorough surface preparation, crack filling where needed, and application of commercial-grade sealer that’s designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. We don’t use watered-down residential products or cut corners on prep work that determines how long your coating lasts.

Timing recommendations are based on your asphalt’s age, condition, and previous maintenance history. New asphalt needs 6-12 months to cure before sealing, while older surfaces might need repair work before coating makes sense. We’ll give you straight answers about what your specific situation requires and realistic expectations about results and longevity.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Mastic?

Most driveways in the Mastic area need seal coating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic, weather exposure, and the quality of previous applications. New asphalt should wait 6-12 months before the first seal coat to allow proper curing. If you can see aggregate stones showing through or the surface looks gray instead of black, it’s time. Don’t wait until you see significant cracking – that means water has already started penetrating and causing damage that sealer alone can’t fix.

What's the difference between DIY seal coating and professional application?

Professional application uses commercial-grade sealers that are typically 3-4 times thicker than retail products, plus we have equipment that ensures even coverage and proper thickness. DIY seal coating from home improvement stores usually lasts 6-12 months because the sealer is thin and the application method (brush or squeegee) can’t achieve uniform coverage. Professional jobs typically last 2-3 years because we use better materials, proper surface prep, and application techniques that actually penetrate and protect rather than just coating the surface.

When is the best time of year for seal coating on Long Island?

Late spring through early fall (May through September) provides the best conditions for seal coating in our area. You need temperatures above 50°F for at least 24-48 hours with no rain in the forecast. Summer applications cure faster but can be challenging in extreme heat. Early fall is often ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. Winter applications don’t work because sealer needs proper curing conditions, and spring timing depends on when the last frost occurs and ground moisture levels.

Can seal coating fix cracks and holes in my driveway?

Seal coating fills minor surface cracks (hairline to about 1/8 inch), but larger cracks need proper crack filling before sealing. Holes, depressions, or structural damage require repair work that’s separate from seal coating. Think of sealer as protection for sound asphalt, not a repair product. If your driveway has significant cracking, edge deterioration, or potholes, those issues need to be addressed first or the seal coating won’t perform properly and you’ll waste money on a temporary cosmetic fix.

How long do I need to stay off my driveway after seal coating?

Plan on 24-48 hours before walking on the surface and 48-72 hours before driving on it, depending on weather conditions. Hot, dry weather speeds curing while cool, humid conditions slow it down. The surface might look dry after a few hours, but full curing takes longer and premature traffic can damage the coating or leave permanent marks. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions during your application, and it’s better to wait an extra day than risk damaging a coating that should last 2-3 years.

What should I do to prepare my driveway for seal coating?

Move all vehicles, furniture, and equipment off the driveway and immediate area. We’ll handle the cleaning, but removing obvious debris like leaves or toys helps us work more efficiently. If you have sprinkler systems near the driveway edges, mark them or let us know their location. Don’t pressure wash right before we arrive – we prefer to control the cleaning process and timing. Most importantly, plan your schedule around being unable to use the driveway for 2-3 days after application, including arranging alternative parking if needed.
