What Proper Seal Coating Does

Your asphalt faces a beating every day. Water seeps into small cracks, freezes, and splits them wider. Summer heat bakes the surface until it becomes brittle and starts to crumble. Road salt from Long Island winters eats away at the binding agents that hold everything together.

Seal coating creates a protective barrier that stops this damage before it starts. You get a restored black surface that looks like new pavement. More importantly, you get years of additional life from your existing asphalt.

The difference is dramatic. Sealed driveways stay flexible through temperature changes. They shed water instead of absorbing it. They resist oil stains and everyday wear that would otherwise require expensive repairs or full replacement.

Medford Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been protecting driveways and parking lots across Medford and Long Island for years. We understand how brutal Northeast weather can be on asphalt surfaces.

Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot. We use professional-grade materials designed for our climate and apply them with proper equipment and techniques.

You’re not getting a quick spray-and-go job. You’re getting contractors who know the difference between doing it right and doing it fast.

Asphalt Sealing Process

Here's How We Seal Your Driveway

First, we clean your asphalt surface completely. Oil stains get treated. Debris gets removed. Cracks get filled with rubberized crack filler that moves with temperature changes instead of breaking apart.

Next comes surface preparation. We make sure the asphalt is completely dry and ready for maximum adhesion. Weather conditions have to be right – no rain in the forecast and temperatures within the proper range.

The sealcoating application happens in thin, even coats using professional squeegees or spray equipment. We work systematically to ensure complete coverage without puddles or thin spots. The final result needs 24-48 hours to cure properly before you can drive on it.

What's Included in Our Service

Every seal coating job starts with thorough surface cleaning and crack repair. We don’t just cover up problems – we fix them first so your sealcoat performs properly.

You get commercial-grade sealer that’s mixed fresh and applied at the right thickness. Too thin and it won’t protect. Too thick and it can peel or track into your house. We know the difference because we’ve been doing this work across Long Island’s varying conditions.

The timing matters too. Spring and fall are ideal for sealcoating in our area. Summer heat can cause application problems, and winter temperatures prevent proper curing. We schedule your work when conditions are right for the best results.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Medford?

Most driveways in Medford need seal coating every 2-3 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure. If your driveway gets heavy use or faces south where it gets more sun exposure, you might need sealing closer to every 2 years. Driveways with lighter use can often go 3 years between applications. The key is watching for signs like fading color, small cracks appearing, or water soaking into the surface instead of beading up. Once you see these signs, it’s time to seal coat before more serious damage develops.

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

Late spring through early fall gives you the best conditions for seal coating in our area. You need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees with no rain for at least 24 hours after application. September and October are often ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. Avoid sealing in summer heat above 85 degrees – the sealer can dry too fast and not adhere properly. Winter sealing doesn’t work because the material won’t cure correctly in cold temperatures, and spring sealing has to wait until you’re sure the last freeze is behind us.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can usually walk on sealed asphalt after 4-6 hours if conditions are good. But you need to wait 24-48 hours before driving on it, depending on temperature and humidity. Cooler, humid conditions take longer to cure. We always give you specific timing based on the weather forecast when we do your job. Driving on seal coating before it’s fully cured can leave tire marks or damage the surface. It’s better to wait an extra day than risk ruining the work and having to start over.

Should I fill cracks before applying seal coating?

Yes, crack filling is essential before seal coating. Sealcoat isn’t designed to fill cracks – it’s meant to protect the surface. If you seal over unfilled cracks, water will still get through and cause more damage underneath. We use rubberized crack filler that stays flexible through temperature changes. This prevents the cracks from reopening and gives you a smooth base for the sealcoat application. Trying to skip crack repair might save money upfront, but it means your seal coating won’t last as long and you’ll need more frequent maintenance.

Will seal coating fix my faded, gray-looking driveway?

Seal coating will definitely restore that rich black color to faded asphalt. Gray, weathered-looking driveways usually just need a good seal coat to look like new again. The UV protection in quality sealer prevents future fading too. However, if your driveway has serious structural problems like large potholes or extensive cracking, seal coating alone won’t fix those issues. We’ll let you know during our assessment if your asphalt needs repairs before sealing or if it’s in good enough shape that seal coating will give you the results you want.

How do I maintain my driveway after seal coating?

Keep your sealed driveway clean and address small issues quickly. Sweep off debris regularly and clean oil spills as soon as possible – even though sealed asphalt resists stains better, it’s not completely stain-proof. Avoid using sharp tools like snow shovels with metal edges that can scratch the surface. If small cracks develop over time, get them filled promptly rather than waiting for your next seal coating. Good maintenance between seal coat applications helps each application last longer and keeps your driveway looking better throughout its life.
