Here’s what happens when you seal your driveway the right way. No more watching cracks spread after every winter. No more water pooling and freezing in weak spots that turn into expensive repairs.
Your asphalt stays flexible instead of brittle. The protective barrier we apply keeps UV rays from breaking down the binders that hold everything together. Water can’t penetrate and cause foundation damage.
Most importantly, you avoid the headache of emergency repairs. One proper sealcoating job protects your driveway for 2-3 years, depending on conditions. That’s real protection that saves you money and stress.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been protecting Suffolk County properties for years. We understand exactly what Port Jefferson driveways face – the freeze-thaw cycles, the salt, the temperature swings that destroy unprotected asphalt.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation. We’re your neighbors, licensed and insured, with a track record of getting it right the first time. Our team knows the difference between a quick patch job and proper protection.
When we seal your driveway, we use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate. Every job comes with our satisfaction guarantee because we stand behind our work.
First, we inspect your driveway completely. We identify any cracks that need filling, areas where water might be penetrating, and spots where the asphalt is already showing wear. No surprises later.
Next comes the prep work. We clean the surface thoroughly, fill any significant cracks, and make sure the asphalt is ready for the sealcoat to bond properly. This step makes the difference between a job that lasts and one that fails.
Then we apply the sealcoat using professional equipment. We use high-quality materials designed for Suffolk County’s weather patterns. The application is even, thorough, and done right.
Finally, we give you clear instructions on curing time and when you can use your driveway again. Most jobs cure within 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions.

Our driveway sealing service includes complete crack filling, thorough surface preparation, and professional-grade sealcoat application. We don’t cut corners because we know what Port Jefferson weather can do to shortcuts.
You get materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate challenges. Our sealcoats are designed to handle the temperature swings, the salt exposure, and the UV damage that’s common in Suffolk County.
We also include edge work – making sure the sealcoat doesn’t get on your grass or landscaping. Clean lines, professional appearance, and protection that actually works.
Every job comes with clear maintenance recommendations. We’ll tell you when to reseal based on your driveway’s condition and usage patterns. No guesswork, just practical advice from people who do this every day.
Most driveways in Port Jefferson need resealing every 2-3 years, but it depends on several factors. A newer driveway that’s been properly maintained might go 3 years between applications. An older driveway or one that takes heavy traffic might need attention every 2 years.
Suffolk County’s weather plays a big role too. After particularly harsh winters with lots of freeze-thaw cycles, you might need to reseal sooner. We recommend having your driveway inspected each spring to assess the condition.
The key is not waiting until you see major problems. Small cracks and minor wear are much cheaper to address than extensive damage that requires patching or resurfacing.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for driveway sealing in Port Jefferson. We need temperatures consistently above 50°F during application and for at least 8 hours afterward. The surface also needs to be completely dry.
May through September typically offers the best conditions. We avoid sealing during the hottest summer days when temperatures exceed 85°F, as this can cause the sealcoat to dry too quickly and not bond properly.
Fall sealing is particularly smart because it gives your driveway maximum protection going into winter. Just make sure to schedule early enough that we have good weather for proper curing before the first frost.
Yes, but the cracks need to be properly filled first. This is actually one of the most important parts of the job. Simply putting sealcoat over cracks without filling them properly is a waste of money.
We use hot-pour crack filler for larger cracks and cold-pour materials for smaller ones. The type of filler depends on the crack size and depth. This step prevents water from getting underneath the sealcoat and causing it to fail.
Minor surface cracks are normal and expected. Major structural cracks or alligator cracking might indicate deeper problems that need to be addressed before sealing. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your driveway needs.
You can typically walk on the sealed surface after 4-6 hours in good weather. For vehicle traffic, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
Cool, humid weather extends drying time. Hot, dry conditions speed it up. We’ll give you specific timing based on the weather forecast and the materials we’re using for your job.
The sealcoat might feel dry to the touch but still be soft underneath. That’s why we’re conservative with our timing recommendations. It’s better to wait an extra day than to damage fresh sealcoat with tire marks that become permanent.
If rain hits within the first few hours after application, it can wash away or damage the sealcoat. That’s why we check weather forecasts carefully and won’t start a job if rain is expected within 24 hours.
Light moisture or dew after the sealcoat has had several hours to set usually isn’t a problem. But heavy rain on fresh sealcoat can cause streaking, thin spots, or complete failure in some areas.
If weather does damage fresh sealcoat, we’ll return to fix any problems at no charge. This is part of our commitment to getting the job done right. We’d rather reschedule than risk a poor result.
Regular sealcoating can double the life of your asphalt driveway, making it one of the best investments you can make in your property. A typical sealcoating job costs a fraction of what driveway replacement would cost.
Here’s the math: Sealcoating every 2-3 years might cost you $300-800 depending on your driveway size. Replacing that same driveway could cost $3,000-8,000 or more. The maintenance approach saves thousands over time.
The key is starting before major damage occurs. Once your driveway has extensive alligator cracking or structural problems, sealcoating won’t fix those issues. But if you maintain it properly from the beginning, you can avoid those expensive problems entirely.
