Professional Driveway Sealing Selden

What Proper Seal Coating Does

Your asphalt gets a protective barrier that blocks water, oil, and UV damage before it starts. That means no more watching small cracks turn into expensive problems.

The rich black finish doesn’t just look better—it actually reflects heat and prevents the oxidation that makes asphalt brittle. You’re looking at 3-5 more years of life from your current surface instead of facing a complete replacement.

Most property owners don’t realize that seal coating costs about 10% of what new asphalt runs. You get maximum protection for minimal investment, plus your property value stays strong with that fresh, well-maintained appearance.

Selden Asphalt Sealing Company

We Know Long Island Asphalt

We’ve been protecting Long Island driveways and parking lots through every harsh winter and humid summer this area throws at us. We understand how quickly our weather can damage unprotected asphalt.

You’re not getting a crew that learned the trade somewhere else. We’ve been working in Selden and surrounding areas long enough to know which materials hold up and which application methods work best with our climate.

When you call us, you’re talking to people who’ve seen what happens when seal coating is done right—and what it costs property owners when it’s done wrong.

Seal Coating Process Selden

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we clean your asphalt surface completely—removing debris, oil stains, and loose material that would prevent proper adhesion. Any cracks get filled and smoothed before we start the actual sealing process.

We apply commercial-grade sealcoat using professional equipment that ensures even coverage and proper thickness. The material needs specific weather conditions to cure properly, so we time everything around temperature and humidity levels.

Most driveways are ready for light foot traffic within 4-6 hours, but we recommend staying off with vehicles for 24-48 hours depending on conditions. You’ll see the difference immediately—that deep black finish that makes your property look professionally maintained.

What You Get With Us

Every seal coating job includes complete surface preparation, crack filling where needed, and two-coat application for maximum protection. We use commercial-grade sealer that’s designed for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles.

You get clear communication about timing—we’ll tell you exactly when we’re coming and how long your driveway will be out of commission. No surprises, no showing up when it’s convenient for us but terrible for you.

We also handle the details most homeowners don’t think about: protecting your landscaping, ensuring proper drainage, and making sure the finished surface meets your property’s specific needs. Whether it’s a residential driveway or commercial parking lot, the process stays professional from start to finish.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Selden?

Most driveways in Selden need seal coating every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific conditions. Heavy traffic, direct sun exposure, and the age of your asphalt all affect timing. If you’re seeing the aggregate (small stones) starting to show through or the surface looks gray instead of black, it’s time. Don’t wait until you see actual cracks—seal coating works best as prevention, not repair. We can assess your current surface and give you a realistic timeline based on what we’re seeing.

What's the best time of year for seal coating?

Late spring through early fall works best for Long Island. We need temperatures consistently above 50°F and no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours after application. Summer can be tricky because extremely hot pavement doesn’t take sealer well, and you don’t want to be walking on hot asphalt anyway. Most of our customers schedule for late spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate and weather patterns are more predictable.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can walk on most sealed surfaces within 4-6 hours if conditions are good. For vehicles, wait at least 24 hours—48 hours is even better, especially if humidity is high. The surface might look dry but still be soft underneath. Driving on it too early leaves tire marks and can damage the seal. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions the day we do your job.

Can you seal coat over cracks in my driveway?

Small cracks get filled as part of the process, but larger cracks or structural damage need repair first. Seal coating isn’t a fix for major problems—it’s protection for basically sound asphalt. If your driveway has significant cracking or drainage issues, we’ll tell you upfront what needs to be addressed before sealing makes sense. Sometimes a repair-and-seal approach costs less than you’d think and gives you years more life from your current surface.

Will seal coating fix oil stains on my driveway?

Seal coating covers most light oil stains, but fresh or heavy stains need treatment first. We clean and prep the surface before applying sealer, which includes treating oil spots that might prevent proper adhesion. The dark color of fresh sealcoat usually makes old stains disappear visually, but the key is making sure they don’t interfere with the sealer’s ability to bond to your asphalt.

How much does professional seal coating cost compared to DIY?

Professional seal coating typically costs 2-3 times what you’d pay for materials alone, but you’re getting commercial-grade sealer, proper equipment, and experience that prevents costly mistakes. DIY jobs often fail because of improper surface prep, wrong weather conditions, or inadequate coverage. When seal coating fails, you’re not just out the money—you’ve potentially damaged your asphalt and shortened its life. Most property owners find the professional route gives them better results and peace of mind.
