You’re not just getting a black coating. You’re getting a barrier that stops water from seeping into cracks where it freezes, expands, and turns small problems into expensive ones.
Long Island winters are brutal on asphalt. The freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and harsh weather that hit Holbrook every year will destroy an unprotected driveway. But when it’s properly sealed, your driveway can handle what our climate throws at it.
The difference is real. Homeowners who seal their driveways every 2-3 years get 15-20 years out of their asphalt. Those who don’t? They’re looking at replacement in half that time, often less.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been protecting driveways across Suffolk County for years. We understand what Long Island weather does to asphalt because we live here too.
We’re not the guys who show up with watered-down sealer and disappear when problems start. We use commercial-grade materials designed for our coastal climate and harsh winters. Every job gets proper surface prep, crack filling, and application that actually protects your investment.
You’ll find our work throughout Holbrook neighborhoods where homeowners trust us to do it right the first time. Licensed, insured, and committed to keeping your driveway looking good and lasting longer.
First, we inspect your driveway completely. We identify any existing cracks, damage, or areas that need attention before sealing. This step matters because sealer won’t fix problems – it prevents them.
Next comes thorough cleaning. We remove all dirt, debris, oil stains, and anything else that would prevent proper adhesion. Then we fill any cracks larger than hairline with hot rubberized crack filler. This prevents water penetration and gives you a smooth surface.
Finally, we apply premium sealcoat using professional equipment. No spraying thin, diluted material that peels off after six months. We brush on commercial-grade sealer that provides real protection against UV rays, water, salt, and everything else that damages asphalt in Holbrook.
The whole process typically takes one day, and you can usually drive on it within 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.

Our driveway sealing service includes complete surface preparation, crack filling for cracks over 1/2 inch wide, thorough cleaning and debris removal, and application of premium sealcoat with additives for enhanced durability and color.
In Holbrook, we see specific challenges that other areas don’t face. The proximity to salt air, combined with road salt used throughout Suffolk County winters, creates a particularly harsh environment for asphalt. That’s why we use sealers specifically formulated for coastal climates.
We also handle minor pothole repairs up to 1 square foot as part of the service. These cold patch repairs cure separately and get sealed during your next maintenance cycle. Everything is designed to extend your driveway’s life and keep it looking professional.
Most Holbrook driveways need sealing every 2-3 years depending on usage and exposure. Driveways with heavy traffic or full sun exposure might need attention every 2 years, while lighter-use driveways in shaded areas can often go 3 years between applications.
Driveway sealing in Holbrook typically costs between $0.20-$0.40 per square foot for professional service, though most contractors price by driveway size rather than square footage. A standard 2-car driveway usually runs $150-$250 including crack filling and surface preparation.
The final cost depends on your driveway’s condition, size, and how much prep work is needed. Driveways with extensive cracking or oil stains require more preparation time. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost upfront with no surprises or hidden fees.
The best time for driveway sealing in Holbrook is late spring through early fall when temperatures stay between 50-85 degrees with no rain expected for 24 hours after application. We typically schedule most jobs between May and October.
We watch weather forecasts carefully because rain can ruin a fresh seal coat. Temperature matters too – sealer won’t cure properly in cold weather and can dry too fast in extreme heat. We’ll work with you to find the right window when conditions are optimal for long-lasting results.
Most driveways in Holbrook need sealing every 2-3 years due to our harsh coastal climate and winter road salt. If your driveway gets heavy use or has full sun exposure, you might need sealing every 2 years. Lighter-use driveways in shaded areas can often go 3 years between applications.
Watch for signs like fading color, small cracks appearing, or water soaking in instead of beading up. Don’t wait until you see major cracking because then you’re looking at repairs, not just maintenance. Regular sealing every 2-3 years prevents the expensive problems that come from neglect.
Sealing alone won’t fix existing cracks, but proper crack filling before sealing will. We use hot rubberized crack filler for cracks larger than 1/2 inch wide, which prevents water penetration and provides a smooth surface for the sealcoat.
Small hairline cracks get sealed by the coating itself, but anything larger needs proper filling first. This is why we inspect every driveway before starting work. Trying to seal over unfilled cracks just wastes your money because water will still get in and cause damage underneath the sealer.
A properly sealed driveway in Holbrook should provide 2-3 years of protection before needing reapplication. However, the sealing extends your asphalt’s overall lifespan significantly – well-maintained driveways can last 15-20 years versus 8-10 years for unsealed asphalt.
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, salt air, and road salt are particularly hard on asphalt. Regular sealing creates a protective barrier that prevents water infiltration, which is the main cause of driveway deterioration. The small cost of sealing every few years prevents the major expense of premature replacement.
We use commercial-grade sealers designed specifically for Long Island’s coastal climate, not the watered-down material that many companies spray on to save time. Our sealer is applied by brush for proper thickness and coverage, and we include thorough surface preparation and crack filling.
As a local Suffolk County company, we understand what works here and what doesn’t. We’ve seen too many driveways ruined by contractors who cut corners with thin sealers that don’t last through one winter. Our process takes longer, but you get protection that actually works for our harsh climate conditions.
