You’ll drive up to what looks like a completely new driveway. The rich, dark finish makes neighbors think you spent thousands on replacement when you invested hundreds in protection.
Your asphalt stays flexible through Long Island’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking apart. Water can’t seep in and expand during winter, which means no spring surprises of buckled pavement or dangerous potholes.
You get 3-5 additional years of solid driveway life. That’s thousands saved compared to premature replacement, plus the peace of mind that comes with a surface that’s safe for your family and visitors.
We’ve been protecting driveways throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand exactly how Long Island weather affects asphalt – from the salt air near the coast to the temperature swings that crack unprotected surfaces.
We’re locally owned and operated in Smithtown, serving Lake Grove homeowners who want their properties maintained right. Our team knows the unique soil conditions and climate challenges that make Suffolk County different from anywhere else.
You get transparent pricing, flexible scheduling, and the kind of reliable service that keeps customers calling us back. We’re fully licensed and insured because your peace of mind matters as much as your driveway’s protection.
We start with a thorough inspection of your driveway, identifying any cracks or damage that need attention before sealing. Small cracks get filled as part of the process, but larger issues get proper repairs first – no band-aid solutions here.
Next comes complete cleaning using professional equipment to remove oil, dirt, and debris. This step is crucial because sealant won’t bond properly to a dirty surface. We protect your landscaping and adjacent surfaces during the entire process.
Then we hand-apply commercial-grade sealer designed for Long Island’s climate. Unlike companies that spray watered-down material, we use the proper thickness that creates real protection. You get a smooth, uniform finish that looks professional because it is professional.

Your driveway gets a complete makeover that protects against everything Lake Grove weather throws at it. We use commercial-grade sealers that create a waterproof barrier against snow, ice, UV rays, and oil spills.
Lake Grove’s location in Suffolk County means your driveway faces unique challenges. The coastal humidity, temperature swings, and heavy winter weather all take their toll on unprotected asphalt. Our sealing process addresses these specific local conditions.
You’ll need to stay off the driveway for 24-48 hours for foot traffic and 72 hours for vehicles. We time everything around weather conditions and give you realistic expectations – no surprises or rush jobs that compromise quality.
Most driveways in Lake Grove need sealing every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. If your asphalt is less than a year old, wait until it’s fully cured before the first application.
You’ll know it’s time when the surface starts looking gray instead of black, or when you can see aggregate showing through. Don’t wait until cracks appear everywhere – that means you’ve waited too long and will need repairs before sealing.
The key is staying ahead of the damage. Regular sealing every 2-3 years costs a fraction of what you’ll pay for major repairs or premature replacement.
Late spring through early fall works best for sealing in our climate. You need temperatures above 50 degrees for at least 48 hours, with no rain in the forecast.
Summer months are ideal because the sealer cures faster and more completely. Most property owners in Lake Grove schedule their sealing for late spring or early summer to get maximum protection before winter.
Avoid sealing in late fall or winter – the sealer won’t bond properly in cold weather and you’ll waste your money. Plan ahead and book during the optimal window.
Small cracks get filled as part of the sealing process, but larger damage needs repair first. Cracks wider than an inch, potholes, or areas with significant deterioration require patching before we can seal.
Applying sealer over major damage is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone – it won’t hold and you’ll have the same problems within months. Honest contractors will tell you what needs fixing first.
We assess every driveway before starting work and explain exactly what repairs are needed for long-lasting results. No surprises, no shortcuts.
Plan on 24 hours before walking on freshly sealed pavement and 48-72 hours before driving on it. Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and air circulation.
Hot, dry, windy days speed up curing while cool, humid conditions slow it down. Don’t rush this process – driving on sealer that hasn’t fully cured will leave tire marks and damage the protective coating.
Most Lake Grove customers schedule sealing when they can avoid using their driveway for a long weekend. We work with your schedule and provide realistic timing based on current weather conditions.
Hand application ensures proper thickness and complete coverage. Sealcoating is a tar-like compound that’s too thick to spray effectively – companies have to water it down to make it sprayable.
Thinned sealer might look good initially, but it won’t provide the protection you’re paying for. It may drip, run, and leave your driveway without the barrier it needs against weather and wear.
We apply sealer by hand at the proper thickness for maximum protection. It takes longer, but you get results that last and actually protect your investment.
The cost varies depending on your driveway size and condition, but it’s very low compared to repair or replacement costs. Proper sealing can prevent restoration costs that are 10-20 times higher than basic maintenance.
We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and we stand behind our work with complete satisfaction guaranteed.
