Driveway Sealing South Setauket

Your Asphalt Gets Real Protection

You’re looking at years more life from your driveway when it’s properly sealed. That cracking and fading you’re worried about stops being a problem because the sealer creates a barrier against water, salt, and UV damage.

Your property value stays protected too. A well-maintained driveway signals that you take care of your home, and that matters when neighbors are watching or potential buyers are evaluating.

The peace of mind is worth it alone. You stop wondering when that small crack will turn into a major repair bill, because proper seal coating prevents most of those problems from starting.

Sealcoating Company South Setauket

We Know Long Island Asphalt

We’ve been protecting South Setauket driveways and parking lots for years. We understand what Long Island winters do to asphalt, and we know exactly how to fight back.

You’re not getting a crew that learned about seal coating online last week. Our team uses commercial-grade equipment and professional sealers that actually hold up to the salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and coastal humidity that destroy most DIY jobs.

We’ve seen what happens when homeowners wait too long or hire the wrong company. That’s why we focus on doing it right the first time, using materials that last and techniques that work in our specific climate.

Asphalt Sealing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we clean your asphalt completely. Oil stains, debris, vegetation growing in cracks – it all has to go before sealer can properly bond. Most companies skip this step, which is why their work fails early.

Next, we fill any cracks and repair problem areas. Small cracks get filled with rubberized crack filler that moves with temperature changes. Larger issues get addressed before we seal, because sealer alone won’t fix structural problems.

Then we apply two thin coats of commercial-grade sealer using professional spray equipment. This ensures even coverage and proper thickness. The first coat penetrates and bonds, the second coat provides the protective barrier that keeps water and chemicals out.

You can walk on it the same day, drive on it the next day, and stop worrying about it for the next 2-3 years.

What You Actually Get

Your driveway gets cleaned, repaired, and sealed with commercial-quality materials that cost more but last longer. We’re not using the hardware store sealer that peels off after one winter.

You get crack filling included in the service because it doesn’t make sense to seal over problems. Small cracks get filled with flexible sealant that won’t crack when temperatures change.

The equipment matters too. Our spray application gives you even coverage and the right thickness. Brush or squeegee application might cost less, but it doesn’t perform the same way when Long Island weather hits it.

We time everything around weather conditions because temperature and humidity affect how well sealer cures. You’re not getting a crew that shows up regardless of conditions and hopes for the best.

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

Every 2-3 years for most driveways, depending on traffic and weather exposure. Long Island’s harsh winters with road salt and freeze-thaw cycles are particularly tough on asphalt, so staying on schedule matters more here than in milder climates. If you can see aggregate (small stones) showing through in high-traffic areas, or if water soaks into the asphalt instead of beading up, it’s time to reseal. Waiting too long means you’ll need repairs before sealing, which costs more and doesn’t work as well.

What's the difference between seal coating and just filling cracks?

Crack filling fixes existing damage but doesn’t prevent new problems. Seal coating protects the entire surface from water penetration, UV damage, and chemical spills that cause most asphalt deterioration. Think of crack filling as a band-aid and seal coating as sunscreen – you need both, but prevention works better than treatment. A properly sealed driveway will develop fewer cracks because water can’t get underneath to cause freeze-thaw damage. Most of our customers get crack filling included with seal coating for complete protection.

How long does seal coating take to dry and cure?

You can walk on it within 4-6 hours under good conditions, but wait 24 hours before driving on it. Full cure takes about 30 days, but you can use your driveway normally after the first day. Temperature and humidity affect drying time – we won’t seal if conditions aren’t right because rushed work fails early. Rain within the first few hours can damage uncured sealer, so we watch weather forecasts carefully. If unexpected weather hits before it’s cured, we’ll come back and fix any problems at no charge.

Will seal coating hide cracks or do they need separate repair?

Sealer will hide hairline cracks temporarily, but they’ll show through again as the sealer wears. Cracks wider than a quarter-inch need proper filling with rubberized crack filler before sealing. This creates a flexible repair that moves with temperature changes instead of cracking again immediately. We include crack filling in our seal coating service because sealing over unfilled cracks is a waste of your money. The goal is protection that lasts 2-3 years, not a cosmetic fix that fails after one winter.

What happens if it rains right after you seal coat?

If rain hits before the sealer cures (usually within 4-6 hours), it can wash away or damage the coating. That’s why we check weather forecasts and won’t start if rain is expected. If unexpected weather causes problems, we’ll return to repair or reapply damaged areas at no additional cost. Sealer that’s fully cured actually benefits from rain because it helps the curing process. We’d rather reschedule than do work that won’t last, because callbacks cost us more than doing it right the first time.

Is seal coating worth it compared to just replacing the driveway eventually?

A new asphalt driveway costs $3,000-8,000 or more, while seal coating every 2-3 years costs a few hundred dollars. Proper maintenance can extend asphalt life from 10-15 years to 20-25 years or longer. Even if you seal coat five times over 15 years, you’re still spending less than half what replacement costs. Plus, you avoid the disruption and expense of tearing out and replacing perfectly good asphalt that just needed protection. The math makes sense, especially with Long Island property values where curb appeal matters.
