Asphalt Driveway Sealcoating

Asphalt Driveway Sealing Long Island

The Experts in Driveway Sealcoating Long Island NY

It is true that sealcoating leaves your asphalt with a glossy black coating that looks uniform and clean. But sealcoating is not just about looks.


If sealcoating is not applied, asphalt is vulnerable to several damaging elements that can significantly reduce its lifespan. Typical wear and tear from exposure to sunlight, water, chemicals, and heavy traffic can, over time, cause deterioration, cracks, potholes, and other types of damage.

Protection from Water Penetration

One of the main issues with unsealed asphalt is water penetration. When water seeps into asphalt pores and cracks, it weakens the base and sub-base layers and causes more extensive damage, like potholes and heaving. In colder Long Island months, freezing and thawing water can worsen these issues, causing cracking and crumbling asphalt. 

Protection from Sun and Chemicals

UV rays from the sun can cause the asphalt binder to become brittle and more susceptible to cracking. Common chemicals such as oil, gasoline, and de-icing salts can also cause asphalt to break down and deteriorate more quickly. Think about how many times you put down de-icing salts on your driveway the past few winters, or how the sun beats down on your driveway all summer.


Blacktop sealcoating functions as a barrier to keep out chemicals, water, and UV light, extending the life of the asphalt. Asphalt that has been regularly sealcoated usually lasts 30 years or more, whereas unsealed asphalt lasts much shorter and has far more expensive problems. So sealcoat today and save yourself money in the long run. And, of course, make your asphalt driveway look great!

    We recommend sealcoating every 2-3 years, depending on the amount of traffic and exposure to harsh weather conditions. 

  • What is the purpose of sealcoating driveway?

    Sealcoating protects asphalt from UV rays, water penetration, chemicals, and everyday wear and tear. It also enhances the appearance of your pavement by restoring its rich, black finish. 

  • Can Long Island blacktop sealcoating fix cracks and potholes?

    Sealcoating fills small surface cracks, but larger cracks and potholes must be repaired beforehand for effective sealing and durability.

    Spring, summer, and early fall are ideal, as warm and dry conditions ensure the best results. We monitor weather forecasts to avoid rain or extreme temperatures during application.
