What Proper Sealcoating Actually Does

Your driveway stops looking like it’s been through a war zone. The fresh, dark finish brings back that clean appearance that makes your property look maintained and cared for.

But here’s what really matters – you’re buying time. Quality sealcoating creates a barrier against water, oil, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy asphalt. Instead of watching small cracks turn into expensive potholes, you get 3-5 more years before major repairs become necessary.

The math is simple. Sealcoating costs a fraction of what you’d pay for asphalt replacement. When you see your neighbors dealing with complete driveway overhauls, you’ll know you made the smart choice years earlier.

West Brentwood Asphalt Sealing Experts

We Know Long Island Asphalt

We’ve been protecting driveways and parking lots across Long Island for years. We understand exactly what winter salt, summer heat, and constant traffic do to your asphalt.

You’re not getting a crew that learned the trade last month. Our team has sealed thousands of driveways in West Brentwood and surrounding areas. We know which sealers hold up to local conditions and which shortcuts lead to callbacks.

When we show up, we bring professional equipment and commercial-grade materials. No hardware store buckets or squeegees that leave streaks and thin coverage.

Our Sealcoating Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly. Oil stains get treated, debris gets removed, and any vegetation growing in cracks gets eliminated. If your driveway isn’t clean, the sealer won’t bond properly.

Next, we fill significant cracks with hot rubberized crack filler. This prevents water from getting underneath the new sealcoat and causing problems later. Small surface cracks get addressed during the sealing process.

Then we apply two thin coats of commercial-grade sealer using professional spray equipment. This ensures even coverage without the puddles and streaks you see with brush application. The first coat penetrates and bonds, the second coat provides the protective barrier and finished appearance.

Drying time depends on weather, but you’re typically looking at 24-48 hours before you can drive on it. We’ll give you specific timing based on current conditions.

Complete Blacktop Sealing Service

What's Included In Your Service

You get thorough surface preparation, crack filling for cracks larger than hairline, and two coats of premium coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealer. We also seal the edges where your driveway meets concrete or grass to prevent water infiltration.

Our sealers are designed for Long Island’s climate. They flex with temperature changes instead of cracking, and they resist salt damage from winter road treatments. You’re not getting the thin, water-based products that fail after one season.

We handle the details that matter – protecting your landscaping, keeping sealer off your house and walkways, and ensuring proper drainage so water doesn’t pool on the fresh surface. When we’re done, your driveway looks professional and stays that way.

How often should I have my driveway sealed in West Brentwood?

Every 2-3 years is the sweet spot for most driveways in our area. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and road salt exposure mean your asphalt takes more abuse than driveways in milder climates. If you wait longer than 3 years, you’ll start seeing significant cracking and oxidation that makes the next sealcoating less effective. New asphalt should cure for 6-12 months before the first sealcoating application. If your driveway gets heavy use or is exposed to oil drips from vehicles, you might need sealing every 2 years to maintain optimal protection.

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

Coal tar sealer offers superior protection against oil, gas, and chemical spills, plus it typically lasts longer. It dries to a darker, more uniform black finish that many property owners prefer. Asphalt emulsion sealer is more environmentally friendly and works well for driveways with minimal oil exposure. Both types we use are commercial-grade and significantly outperform the products available at retail stores. The choice often comes down to your specific needs, local regulations, and personal preference. We’ll recommend the best option based on your driveway’s condition, usage patterns, and your priorities for appearance and longevity.

Can you sealcoat my driveway if it has cracks and potholes?

We can handle most cracks, but potholes need repair before sealcoating. Hairline cracks and cracks up to about a quarter-inch wide get filled as part of our standard process. Larger cracks require hot rubberized crack filler for proper repair. Potholes need to be cut out and patched with new asphalt – sealcoating over a pothole just creates a temporary cosmetic fix that fails quickly. We’ll assess your driveway’s condition and let you know exactly what repairs are needed before sealing. Sometimes it makes sense to handle repairs and sealcoating together, sometimes it’s better to address major issues first and seal later.

How long does sealcoating take and when can I use my driveway?

Most residential driveways take 2-4 hours to complete, depending on size and condition. The actual sealing goes quickly – most of the time is spent on preparation and crack filling. Drying time is the bigger factor. You can usually walk on the surface after 4-6 hours, but you need to wait 24-48 hours before driving on it. Temperature, humidity, and sun exposure all affect drying time. We always give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and never rush the process. Driving on sealer that hasn’t fully cured can leave tire marks and damage the finish, so patience pays off.

Is it worth sealcoating an older driveway that's already showing wear?

It depends on the extent of the damage, but often yes. If the asphalt base is still solid and you’re dealing with surface oxidation, minor cracking, and fading, sealcoating can add several years of life. However, if you have extensive cracking, multiple potholes, or areas where the base is failing, you might be better off investing in replacement or major repairs first. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether sealcoating makes financial sense for your specific situation. Sometimes spending money on sealing a deteriorated driveway is throwing good money after bad, and we’ll tell you that upfront rather than taking your money for a temporary fix.

What should I do to prepare my driveway before you arrive?

Move all vehicles, bikes, and anything else off the driveway and keep them off for the entire drying period. Trim any grass or weeds growing along the edges – we can handle this if needed, but it saves time if it’s done in advance. If you have oil stains, point them out to us so we can treat them properly. Don’t pressure wash or apply any cleaning products right before we arrive – we prefer to handle the cleaning with our equipment and products that are compatible with our sealers. Make sure we have access to water and that sprinkler systems won’t spray the area during application and drying. We’ll handle the rest of the preparation as part of our service.
