What Proper Seal Coating Delivers

Your driveway takes a beating from Long Island weather. Between winter freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and everything your family tracks across it, unprotected asphalt starts showing its age fast.

Quality seal coating changes that equation completely. You’re looking at 3-5 additional years of life from your current asphalt. The protective barrier we apply blocks water penetration that leads to those expensive cracks and potholes you see in untreated driveways around South Huntington.

But it’s not just about protection. Fresh sealcoating transforms how your property looks. That rich, dark finish makes your driveway look newly paved again. Your neighbors notice. Potential buyers notice. And you get that satisfaction of knowing you made a smart investment in your home’s value and your own peace of mind.

Local Asphalt Sealing Experts

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been protecting driveways and parking lots across Long Island for years. We understand what South Huntington weather does to asphalt because we live here too.

You won’t find us cutting corners with watered-down sealer or skipping surface prep to save time. We use commercial-grade materials and take the time to do the job right. That means proper cleaning, crack filling when needed, and application only when conditions are optimal.

Our reputation in the community matters more than rushing through jobs. When your neighbors ask who sealed your driveway, we want you to recommend us without hesitation.

Our Sealcoating Process

How We Protect Your Investment

First, we clean your driveway thoroughly. Oil stains, debris, and loose material have to go before any sealer touches the surface. Most problems with premature sealcoat failure trace back to inadequate prep work.

Next, we inspect for cracks and damage. Small cracks get filled and sealed. Larger issues get discussed with you upfront so there are no surprises. We’re not here to sell you services you don’t need, but we won’t ignore problems that will undermine the sealcoating either.

Application happens only when weather conditions are right. Temperature, humidity, and forecast all matter for proper curing. We use professional spray equipment for even coverage and consistent thickness. Two thin coats perform better than one thick application.

Finally, we protect the fresh sealcoat with proper barriers and give you clear instructions for when it’s safe to drive on. Most jobs cure within 24-48 hours depending on weather, but we’ll tell you exactly what to expect for your specific situation.

What's Included in Every Job

Every sealcoating job starts with thorough surface preparation. We power wash when needed, remove vegetation growing through cracks, and address oil stains that could prevent proper adhesion. This prep work makes the difference between sealcoating that lasts two years versus five years.

We handle minor crack repair as part of the process. Those hairline cracks that let water seep down to your base material get sealed before we apply the protective coating. For larger structural issues, we’ll discuss your options honestly rather than just covering problems with sealer.

Our application uses commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealer depending on your specific situation and preferences. We don’t use the bargain-basement products you’ll find at big box stores. Professional materials cost more upfront but deliver the protection and appearance you’re paying for.

Weather delays sometimes happen, and we’d rather reschedule than compromise your results. Sealcoating applied in poor conditions fails early and leaves you frustrated. We track weather forecasts carefully and communicate any necessary changes to your timeline as early as possible.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in South Huntington?

Most driveways in South Huntington need sealcoating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic, weather exposure, and the quality of previous applications. A driveway that sees heavy use or gets full sun all day may need attention more frequently. The best indicator is visual – when your asphalt starts looking gray instead of black, or you notice small cracks beginning to form, it’s time to seal. Waiting too long means you’ll need crack repair and possibly more extensive work before sealcoating can be effective.

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

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for sealcoating in our area. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees with no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours after application. Summer can be ideal, but we avoid the hottest days when sealer dries too quickly for proper penetration. Early fall is often perfect – warm days, cool nights, and lower humidity help the sealer cure properly. Winter applications just don’t work in our climate, and early spring can be unpredictable with sudden temperature drops.

Can you seal coat over existing cracks in my asphalt?

Small cracks can be filled and sealed as part of the sealcoating process, but larger cracks need proper repair first. Hairline cracks and minor surface issues actually benefit from sealcoating because it prevents them from growing. However, cracks wider than a quarter-inch or areas where the asphalt has started to crumble need crack filler or patching before we apply sealer. Simply coating over significant damage doesn’t fix the underlying problem and leads to premature failure. We’ll assess your driveway’s condition and recommend the right approach for lasting results.

How long before I can drive on freshly sealed asphalt?

Plan on keeping vehicles off your driveway for 24-48 hours after sealcoating, depending on weather conditions. Warm, dry weather with good air circulation speeds curing, while cool or humid conditions extend the wait time. We’ll give you a specific timeline based on the forecast and what we observe during application. Walking on the surface is usually fine after 4-6 hours, but vehicle traffic needs to wait for full cure. Rushing this timeline can leave tire marks, scuff the surface, or even pull up sections of fresh sealer.

What's the difference between coal tar and asphalt-based sealers?

Coal tar sealer offers superior protection against gas, oil, and chemical spills, making it popular for driveways where vehicles leak fluids. It also provides better UV protection and typically lasts longer between applications. Asphalt-based sealers are more environmentally friendly and work well for driveways without significant oil exposure. They’re easier to apply in cooler weather and have less odor during application. Both options protect your asphalt investment when applied properly. We’ll recommend the best choice based on your specific situation, local regulations, and personal preferences.

Do I need to do anything to prepare my driveway before you arrive?

Move all vehicles, lawn furniture, and anything else off the driveway and immediate area. We need clear access to the entire surface plus room for our equipment. If you have oil stains, let us know in advance – some require special treatment before sealcoating. Trim back any bushes or plants that overhang the driveway edges. We’ll handle the cleaning and surface prep, but having the area clear saves time and ensures we can do thorough work. Also, plan for alternative parking arrangements since you won’t be able to use your driveway for 1-2 days after application.
