Your Pavement Problems, Actually Solved

You’re watching your driveway crack and fade, knowing replacement costs are lurking around the corner. That’s exactly why seal coating exists – to stop the damage before it becomes expensive.

Fresh seal coating creates a protective barrier against water, oil, and UV damage that destroys asphalt. Your driveway gets that deep black finish that makes the whole property look maintained and valuable.

The real benefit isn’t just appearance. Quality sealcoating extends your asphalt’s life by 3-5 years, which means you’re looking at significant savings over time. Instead of replacing a driveway for $5,000-$8,000, you’re investing a fraction of that to protect what you already have.

Miller Place Sealcoating Experts

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving understands what Long Island weather does to asphalt. The salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat create specific challenges that require the right approach and materials.

We’ve built our reputation on showing up when scheduled and delivering results that last. We use commercial-grade sealers and proper application techniques because shortcuts always show up later as callbacks and unhappy customers.

Miller Place property owners rely on us because we understand local conditions and have the equipment to handle jobs efficiently without cutting corners.

Our Seal Coating Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, your asphalt gets thoroughly cleaned and any cracks are filled. This prep work matters because sealer won’t bond properly to dirty or damaged surfaces. Rushing this step is where most problems start.

Next, the sealer gets applied evenly using professional equipment. Temperature and humidity have to be right, which is why we sometimes reschedule rather than apply sealer in poor conditions.

The surface needs 24-48 hours to cure completely. You’ll see the difference immediately – that fresh black appearance – but the real protection develops as the sealer fully bonds to your asphalt.

What You Get With Every Job

Every seal coating project includes thorough surface cleaning, crack filling where needed, and professional-grade sealer application. The materials are designed specifically for Long Island’s coastal climate and temperature variations.

You get proper edge work around landscaping and structures, plus clear instructions for curing time and when you can safely drive on the surface. No guesswork about when your driveway is ready for normal use.

Our work comes with realistic expectations about performance and longevity. Quality seal coating should last 2-3 years in this climate, and you’ll know exactly what to watch for when it’s time for the next application.

How long does seal coating last on Long Island driveways?

Quality seal coating typically lasts 2-3 years in Long Island’s climate. The salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat are tough on any protective coating. You’ll start seeing wear patterns and fading after about two years, which signals it’s time to reapply. Properties with heavy traffic or exposure to oil and chemicals may need resealing sooner. The key is not waiting until the coating completely fails – reapplying while there’s still some protection gives you better results and longer-lasting coverage.

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

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for seal coating. You need temperatures above 50°F and no rain for 24-48 hours after application. Summer can be tricky because extreme heat causes sealer to dry too quickly, leading to poor adhesion. Early fall is often ideal – warm days, cool nights, and lower humidity help the sealer cure properly. Winter applications don’t work because the sealer won’t bond correctly in cold temperatures, and spring can be unpredictable with sudden rain showers.

How much does professional seal coating cost compared to DIY?

Professional seal coating typically runs $0.15-$0.25 per square foot, while DIY materials cost about $0.08-$0.12 per square foot. The difference comes down to equipment, experience, and material quality. We use commercial-grade sealers and spray equipment that creates even coverage. DIY jobs often result in streaky application, thin coverage, or premature failure because the surface prep wasn’t done correctly. When you factor in equipment rental and the time investment, professional application usually provides better value and longer-lasting results.

Do you need to fill cracks before applying sealer?

Yes, cracks should be filled before seal coating for best results. Sealer alone won’t stop water from getting into cracks – it just covers them temporarily. Water infiltration leads to freeze-thaw damage that creates bigger cracks and eventually potholes. Proper crack filling uses rubberized crack filler that moves with temperature changes. Small hairline cracks might be okay to seal over, but anything you can fit a coin into needs to be filled first. Skipping this step means your seal coating won’t last as long and the underlying problems will get worse.

How long before I can drive on freshly sealed asphalt?

You typically need to wait 24-48 hours before driving on sealed asphalt, depending on temperature and humidity. Hot, dry conditions allow faster curing, while cool, humid weather extends the wait time. The surface might look dry after a few hours, but the sealer needs time to fully bond and harden. Driving too soon leaves tire marks and can pull up the sealer. Foot traffic is usually okay after 4-6 hours, but avoid dragging anything heavy across the surface. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions during application.

Will seal coating fix existing problems with my driveway?

Seal coating protects and improves appearance, but it won’t fix structural problems. It fills minor surface imperfections and gives faded asphalt a fresh black look, but it won’t repair potholes, major cracks, or areas where the base has failed. Think of it like paint – it protects and beautifies, but the surface underneath needs to be solid. If your driveway has significant damage, those issues should be repaired first. Seal coating over major problems just hides them temporarily while they continue getting worse underneath.
