What Proper Sealing Actually Does

Your driveway stops looking tired and gray. Water can’t seep through cracks to create bigger problems underneath. Oil stains wipe away instead of becoming permanent eyesores.

The surface stays smooth and even, making snow removal easier in winter. Your property looks maintained instead of neglected. Most importantly, you’re looking at 15-20 more years before needing expensive asphalt replacement.

That’s the difference between a $300 seal coating job and a $6,000 driveway replacement. The math is pretty clear when you think about protecting what you’ve already invested in your property.

North Patchogue Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling driveways and parking lots across Long Island for years. We understand how coastal weather and freeze-thaw cycles affect your asphalt differently than other regions.

We’re not the guys who disappear after taking your deposit. We show up when scheduled, use commercial-grade materials, and apply sealcoating the right way so it actually lasts.

Our work covers North Patchogue and surrounding areas because we know these neighborhoods, the soil conditions, and what it takes to make asphalt sealing hold up to everything Long Island weather throws at it.

Asphalt Sealing Process

How We Handle Your Sealing

First, we clean your driveway completely. Oil stains get treated, cracks get filled, and debris gets removed. Surface preparation determines how well the sealer bonds, so we don’t skip steps here.

Next comes the actual sealcoating application. We use commercial-grade sealer applied evenly with professional equipment. No thin spots, no missed areas, no shortcuts that cause premature failure.

The sealer needs 24-48 hours to cure properly. We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe to drive on again. Temperature and humidity affect cure time, so we factor in current weather conditions when scheduling your job.

Every 2-3 years for most residential driveways, depending on traffic and weather exposure. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal conditions can accelerate wear, so some driveways benefit from more frequent sealing. If your asphalt is starting to look gray instead of black, or you’re seeing small cracks forming, it’s time to seal. Waiting too long means more expensive repairs later, since water infiltration through unsealed asphalt causes the base to deteriorate.
Late spring through early fall, when temperatures stay consistently above 50 degrees and rain isn’t forecast for 24-48 hours. May through September typically offers the best conditions. We avoid sealing during hot summer days above 85 degrees because sealer can dry too quickly and not bond properly. Spring is often ideal because you can address any winter damage while having the full season ahead for the sealer to cure and protect your driveway.
Plan on 24-48 hours before driving on your sealed driveway. Walking is usually safe after 4-6 hours in good weather. Temperature, humidity, and air circulation all affect cure time. Cooler, humid days take longer. We’ll give you specific timing based on current conditions when we finish your job. Rushing back onto uncured sealer can leave tire marks and damage the protective coating you just paid for.
Small cracks get filled as part of our preparation process, but larger cracks or structural damage need repair first. Sealer alone won’t fix significant cracking – it just temporarily hides the problem while water continues infiltrating underneath. We’ll assess your driveway condition and let you know if crack filling is sufficient or if you need more extensive repair before sealing. Proper preparation is what makes seal coating last years instead of months.
Coal tar sealer offers better protection against oil and gas spills, making it popular for driveways where vehicles park regularly. Asphalt emulsion is more environmentally friendly and works well for surfaces without heavy oil exposure. Both provide UV protection and water resistance when applied properly. We’ll recommend the right sealer based on your driveway’s condition, traffic patterns, and local environmental considerations. The application technique matters more than sealer type for most residential driveways.
Most residential driveways run $200-500 depending on size and condition. That’s roughly 10-15 cents per square foot for quality materials and proper application. Pricing factors include surface preparation needed, number of coats required, and access difficulty. We provide upfront pricing after seeing your specific driveway rather than giving phone estimates that change later. Consider that seal coating costs about 5% of full driveway replacement while extending asphalt life significantly.
