What Proper Sealcoating Actually Does

Your driveway stops looking like it’s been through a war zone. That faded, cracked asphalt gets a deep black finish that makes your property look maintained and cared for.

More importantly, you’re buying time. Good sealcoating adds 3-5 years to your asphalt’s lifespan by blocking water from seeping into cracks where it freezes and expands. No more watching small cracks turn into potholes that cost serious money to fix.

The math is simple: spend a few hundred now on sealing, or spend thousands later on replacement. Your asphalt stays flexible, weather-resistant, and protected against oil stains and chemical damage that would otherwise eat through the surface.

Asphalt Sealing Process

How We Seal Your Driveway Right

First, we clean your driveway completely. Power washing, debris removal, and getting rid of any oil stains or vegetation growing in cracks. Most contractors skip this step, which is why their sealcoating peels off in chunks after one winter.

Next comes crack filling. We use hot rubber crack filler for anything bigger than hairline cracks because sealer alone won’t hold. This step prevents water from getting underneath and causing the real damage.

Then we apply two coats of commercial-grade sealer using professional squeegees, not spray equipment that leaves thin, uneven coverage. The first coat penetrates and bonds. The second coat provides the protection and appearance you’re paying for. We time everything around weather conditions because temperature and humidity matter for proper curing.

What's Included in Every Job

You get thorough cleaning, crack filling, and two coats of premium sealer applied with professional equipment. We protect your landscaping and adjacent surfaces, and we don’t leave until the job site is clean.

We also tell you exactly when you can drive on it again. Most sealers need 24-48 hours depending on weather, and we’re not going to rush that timeline just to finish faster. Premature traffic ruins the job, and we’re not interested in comebacks.

Every North Babylon property is different. Some driveways need more prep work, others have drainage issues that affect application. We handle whatever your specific situation requires because cookie-cutter approaches don’t work when you’re dealing with Long Island weather and varying asphalt conditions.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in North Babylon?

Every 2-3 years for most residential driveways, depending on traffic and weather exposure. If your driveway faces south and gets full sun, or if you have heavy vehicle traffic, you might need sealing every 2 years. Driveways in shaded areas with light use can often go 3 years between applications. The key indicator is when the surface starts looking gray instead of black, or when water stops beading up and starts soaking in. Don’t wait until you see major cracking – by then you’re looking at repairs, not just maintenance.

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

Late spring through early fall, when temperatures stay between 50-85 degrees for at least 48 hours after application. We avoid sealing during Long Island’s humid summer peaks because high humidity slows curing, and we definitely don’t seal when rain is forecast within two days. The sweet spots are typically May-June and September-October when weather patterns are more stable. Winter sealing is impossible because sealers won’t cure properly in cold temperatures, and summer’s extreme heat can cause application problems.

How long does sealcoating take to dry completely?

You can walk on it after 4-6 hours in good weather, but keep vehicles off for 24-48 hours minimum. Full curing takes about a week, but you don’t need to wait that long for normal use. Temperature and humidity make a huge difference – cool, dry days cure faster than hot, humid ones. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions when we do your job. Rushing this timeline ruins the sealer, so don’t let anyone tell you it’s ready for traffic after just a few hours.

Can you seal coat over existing cracks and damage?

Small cracks, yes – but we fill them first with hot rubber crack filler. Sealcoating alone won’t fix cracks; it just covers them temporarily until they reopen. For larger cracks or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart, you need actual repairs before sealing makes sense. We’ll assess your driveway’s condition and tell you honestly what needs fixing first. Sealing over major damage is like painting over rust – it looks good for a few months, then the problems come back worse than before.

Why do some sealcoating jobs fail after one winter?

Usually because of poor surface preparation or cheap materials. If the driveway wasn’t properly cleaned, or if cracks weren’t filled before sealing, water gets underneath and breaks the bond. Some contractors also thin their sealer too much to stretch materials, or they apply it when weather conditions aren’t right. Using residential-grade sealer instead of commercial-grade products also leads to premature failure. That’s why we use professional equipment, commercial materials, and proper prep work – because doing it right the first time costs less than doing it twice.

What's the difference between spray-applied and squeegee-applied sealcoating?

Squeegee application gives you thicker, more even coverage that lasts longer. Spray application is faster for contractors but often results in thin spots and overspray on areas you don’t want sealed. With squeegees, we control exactly how much sealer goes down and can work it into the asphalt surface properly. Most commercial jobs require squeegee application for this reason. While spray might look acceptable initially, squeegee-applied sealcoating typically lasts 30-50% longer because of the superior coverage and penetration you get from the application method.
