Your driveway becomes a waterproof barrier that laughs at Long Island winters. No more watching small cracks turn into expensive problems.
The sealcoating penetrates deep into your asphalt, creating a protective shield against salt, ice, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy driveways here in Suffolk County. You’re looking at 3-5 additional years of driveway life.
Most importantly, you avoid the sticker shock of full replacement. A $300-500 sealing job today prevents a $3,000-8,000 replacement tomorrow.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been protecting Long Island driveways for years. We understand exactly what Suffolk County weather does to asphalt.
We’re fully licensed and insured, based right here in Smithtown. We’ve seen every type of driveway problem Deer Park homeowners face – from the sandy soil issues to the brutal nor’easters that crack unsealed surfaces.
You’re working with people who live here, work here, and stake our reputation on every job we complete.
First, we clean your driveway thoroughly – power washing away dirt, debris, and any loose material. This step determines how well the sealant bonds.
Next comes crack filling. Any existing cracks get filled with hot rubberized material that flexes with temperature changes. This prevents water from getting underneath and causing bigger problems.
Finally, we apply two coats of commercial-grade sealant using professional squeegees. The material goes on evenly, creating that deep black finish that makes your driveway look brand new. You can typically drive on it within 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions.

Every driveway sealing job includes thorough cleaning, crack repair, and two coats of premium sealant. You’re not getting a quick brush-on job that fails in six months.
In Deer Park specifically, we account for the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal climate. The salt air, sandy soil, and temperature swings require specific materials and techniques that work in Suffolk County conditions.
Our service also includes edge work around your garage, walkways, and landscaping. Your entire driveway gets protected, not just the main surface. You receive clear instructions for curing time and maintenance to maximize your investment.
Late spring through early fall works best for driveway sealing in Deer Park, NY. You need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees and no rain for 24-48 hours after application.
Most Suffolk County homeowners schedule sealing in late summer or early fall – this gives maximum protection before winter hits. The sealant needs time to cure properly, and you want it fully set before the first freeze.
Avoid sealing during humid summer days when thunderstorms pop up unexpectedly. A surprise shower can ruin a fresh seal job and force you to start over.
Professional sealcoating typically lasts 3-5 years in Suffolk County, depending on traffic and maintenance. The harsh winters here – with salt, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles – are tougher on sealant than milder climates.
High-traffic areas like the garage entrance may show wear sooner than the rest of your driveway. This is normal and doesn’t mean the entire surface needs resealing.
You’ll know it’s time for fresh sealcoating when the deep black color fades to gray and water stops beading on the surface. Don’t wait until you see new cracks forming.
Absolutely. Sealing cracks before winter is critical in Deer Park because water gets into cracks, freezes, and expands – turning small problems into major damage by spring.
Even hairline cracks can become major issues after one harsh Long Island winter. Water penetration followed by freezing creates pressure that splits asphalt apart from the inside.
The key is using hot rubberized crack filler that stays flexible in cold temperatures. Regular hardware store products crack and fail when temperatures drop below freezing.
Professional driveway sealing in Deer Park typically runs $0.15-0.25 per square foot, depending on driveway condition and size. Most residential driveways cost $300-600 for complete sealing.
Extensive crack repair adds to the base cost, but it’s still far less expensive than replacement. A full driveway replacement in Suffolk County runs $3,000-8,000 or more.
The investment pays for itself by extending your driveway’s life and preventing major repairs. Think of it as insurance against costly winter damage.
Rain within the first 24 hours can damage fresh sealcoating, causing streaking, washouts, or poor adhesion. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start jobs when rain threatens.
If unexpected rain hits during curing, the damage depends on timing and intensity. Light mist after 8-12 hours usually won’t cause problems, but heavy rain can require partial or complete reapplication.
This is why working with experienced local contractors matters – we understand Suffolk County weather patterns and plan accordingly. We guarantee our work against weather-related failures.
DIY sealing seems appealing, but professional results require proper equipment, materials, and experience. Most homeowner attempts result in uneven coverage, poor adhesion, or premature failure.
We use commercial-grade sealants that aren’t available at retail stores. We also have proper application equipment – squeegees, sprayers, and crack-filling tools that create uniform coverage.
The cost difference between DIY and professional sealing is often minimal when you factor in materials, tools, and your time. Plus, we guarantee our work and know how to handle Suffolk County’s specific climate challenges.
