When your driveway is properly sealed, you’re not dealing with water damage, winter cracks, or expensive emergency repairs. You’re looking at a smooth, protected surface that handles Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without breaking down.
The difference is immediate and lasting. Your asphalt maintains its integrity through harsh winters, summer heat, and everything in between. No more worrying about snowplow damage or watching small cracks turn into major problems.
That’s what professional driveway sealing in Northport, NY delivers—real protection that saves you money and keeps your property looking sharp.
Rolling Hills Property Services Inc. has been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, understanding exactly what Long Island weather does to asphalt driveways. We’re not some distant contractor—we’re your neighbors in Smithtown, dealing with the same climate challenges you face.
We know Northport properties. We understand how salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat affect your driveway differently than other regions. That’s why we use premium sealants specifically selected for Suffolk County conditions.
Our team is fully licensed and insured, with transparent pricing and flexible scheduling that works around your life, not the other way around.
First, we thoroughly clean your driveway surface, removing all dirt, debris, and stains. This isn’t a quick rinse—we’re preparing the asphalt for optimal sealant adhesion.
Next, we address any existing cracks with proper filling techniques. Small issues get fixed before they become expensive problems.
Then comes the sealcoating application. We hand-apply premium-grade sealant (never sprayed) that’s specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s weather conditions. This creates a protective barrier that keeps water out and extends your driveway’s life significantly.
The entire process typically takes one day, weather permitting. You’ll see the difference immediately—a restored, protected surface that looks freshly paved.

Our driveway sealing service in Northport, NY includes comprehensive surface preparation, crack filling, and premium sealant application. We don’t cut corners with spray-on applications—everything is hand-applied for maximum thickness and protection.
Long Island’s climate is particularly tough on asphalt. Northport properties face salt air from the harbor, freeze-thaw cycles that can crack pavement overnight, and summer heat that breaks down unprotected surfaces. Our sealcoating process addresses these specific challenges.
We also provide ongoing maintenance recommendations. Most Northport driveways benefit from resealing every 2-3 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation, not some generic schedule.
Most asphalt driveways in Northport should be sealed every 2-3 years, with the first application within one year of installation. Long Island’s climate—with harsh winters, salt air, and summer heat—breaks down asphalt faster than in milder regions.
If your driveway gets heavy use or direct sun exposure, you might need sealing closer to every 2 years. Driveways in shaded areas or with lighter traffic can often go 3 years between applications. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you a realistic maintenance schedule that makes sense for your property and budget.
Hand-applied sealcoating provides significantly better protection than spray-on applications. When sealant is sprayed, it’s often watered down to flow through equipment, which means thinner coverage and less protection for your driveway.
We hand-apply our sealcoat at full thickness, ensuring complete coverage and maximum protection against water penetration. This method takes longer and costs slightly more, but it’s the difference between real protection and cosmetic treatment. In Suffolk County’s challenging climate, you need the full-strength application to handle freeze-thaw cycles and prevent costly damage.
Yes, but we address the cracks first as part of our sealing process. Small cracks get filled with quality crack filler before we apply the sealcoat. This prevents water from getting underneath and causing bigger problems.
However, if your driveway has extensive cracking—what we call “alligator” cracking where cracks connect across large areas—sealing won’t solve the underlying problem. In those cases, we’ll be honest about what sealing can and can’t accomplish. Sometimes patching or partial resurfacing is needed first to make sealing effective.
The actual sealing process typically takes 4-6 hours for a standard residential driveway, depending on size and condition. We start with thorough cleaning, handle any crack repairs, then apply the sealcoat.
You’ll need to stay off the driveway for 24-48 hours after application, depending on weather conditions. Cool, humid weather extends drying time, while warm, dry conditions speed it up. We’ll give you specific timing based on the forecast and recommend the best days for your project to minimize inconvenience.
We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start sealing if rain is expected within 24 hours. Quality sealcoat needs time to cure properly, and rain during that period can wash away the protection you’re paying for.
If unexpected weather hits after we’ve sealed your driveway, we’ll assess the situation and make it right. Sometimes a light mist after several hours of curing isn’t a problem, but heavy rain on fresh sealcoat means we need to redo the work. That’s why we check forecasts and only work when conditions are right for lasting results.
It depends on the type and extent of wear. If your asphalt has surface oxidation, minor cracking, or fading but the base is still solid, sealing can add several years of life and dramatically improve appearance. It’s often the most cost-effective way to extend your driveway’s lifespan.
However, if you have major structural issues—large potholes, extensive cracking, or areas where the base is failing—sealing alone won’t solve those problems. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether sealing makes financial sense or if you’re better off investing in repairs first. Sometimes sealing buys you time to plan for larger repairs, and sometimes it’s just throwing money away.
