When we seal your driveway properly, you get actual results. Water stops soaking into your asphalt. Salt can’t eat through the surface. Those small cracks that turn into expensive problems get blocked before they start spreading.
Quality sealcoating gives you 2-3 years of solid protection from Long Island’s brutal winters. Your driveway stays black instead of fading to that weathered gray color that screams “neglected property.” More importantly, you avoid the $10,000+ replacement bill that hits homeowners who skip this step.
The choice is simple: invest a few hundred dollars now or pay thousands later when winter damage forces a complete driveway rebuild. We’ve seen it happen too many times in Suffolk County.
Rolling Hills Property Services has protected Suffolk County driveways for years. We understand something most contractors miss: Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles create unique challenges that require specific solutions.
We’re not the crew that shows up with generic materials and hopes for the best. We know Stony Brook’s soil conditions, how water moves across properties here, and exactly what harsh winters do to asphalt in this area. That local knowledge shows in sealcoating that actually lasts.
You get transparent pricing, no surprises, and work backed by our satisfaction guarantee. When your neighbors ask who keeps your driveway looking fresh while theirs crack and fade, you’ll know you chose right.
We start by inspecting your driveway for damage that needs repair before sealing. Cracks get filled with commercial-grade hot material that actually bonds instead of just sitting on top like cheap alternatives.
Then comes thorough cleaning. Oil stains, dirt, and vegetation get removed because sealant only works on clean asphalt. Most contractors skip this step and wonder why their work fails in the first winter.
We apply premium sealcoating material using brush techniques for even coverage and proper penetration. No spray applications that leave thin, inconsistent protection. The result is a durable barrier that keeps water, salt, and chemicals from reaching your asphalt foundation.
You’ll stay off the driveway for 24-48 hours depending on conditions. After that, you have years of protection that actually works.

Our driveway sealing service includes crack repair, thorough surface preparation, and premium sealcoat application using materials chosen specifically for Suffolk County’s climate. We handle residential driveways throughout Stony Brook and surrounding areas.
Timing matters more than most homeowners realize. New driveways need 6-12 months to cure properly, but waiting longer leaves your asphalt vulnerable to Long Island’s harsh conditions. Existing driveways should be resealed every 2-3 years, or sooner if the surface looks gray instead of deep black.
We also address drainage problems that cause premature sealcoat failure. Poor water runoff is common in Stony Brook properties, and we identify these issues during our assessment. Proper drainage extends your sealcoat life and prevents the water damage that destroys driveways from underneath.
The best time for driveway sealing in Stony Brook is late spring through early fall when temperatures stay consistently above 50°F and you can avoid rain for 24-48 hours after application.
New asphalt needs 6-12 months to cure before first sealing, but don’t wait longer than a year or Long Island winters will start causing damage. Existing driveways should be resealed every 2-3 years, though particularly harsh winters might require more frequent applications.
Schedule in late spring or early summer to get maximum protection before the damage season hits. This timing gives your sealcoat the best chance to cure properly and protect through winter.
Quality sealcoating typically provides 2-3 years of protection in Long Island’s climate, but several factors affect how long it lasts. Newer driveways that are properly sealed can get three full years, while older driveways that were never sealed might only get 1-2 years from the first application.
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure from winter treatments, and severe temperature swings reduce sealcoat life compared to milder climates. Heavy snow plowing, drainage issues, and chemical exposure from ice melts also play a role in longevity.
After particularly brutal winters like we sometimes get here, you might need resealing sooner than expected. We assess your driveway’s condition and recommend timing that makes financial sense.
Unsealed asphalt deteriorates fast in Long Island’s climate. Water penetrates the surface, freezes during winter, and expands to create cracks. Road salt and ice melt chemicals accelerate this breakdown process significantly.
Small cracks become larger cracks, then turn into potholes that require expensive patching. The asphalt surface oxidizes and turns gray instead of staying black. Eventually, you’re facing costly resurfacing or complete replacement that can run $8,000-15,000 for a typical driveway.
The damage compounds quickly once it starts. What begins as minor surface wear becomes structural failure requiring major repair. Regular sealing breaks this deterioration cycle and can extend your driveway’s useful life by years.
Yes, but proper crack repair must happen before sealcoating for the work to be effective. We use commercial-grade hot-applied crack filler that bonds with existing asphalt and flexes with temperature changes, unlike store-bought products that just sit on the surface.
Minor cracks and surface damage can be repaired as part of the sealing process. However, extensive cracking, multiple potholes, or structural damage might require patching or partial resurfacing before sealcoating makes financial sense.
We evaluate your driveway’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes crack repair and sealing can extend a driveway’s life by several years, saving you from premature replacement costs that hit many Suffolk County homeowners.
Professional driveway sealing in Stony Brook typically costs $0.15-0.30 per square foot for quality work, depending on your driveway’s size, condition, and repair needs. Most residential driveways run $300-800 for complete professional sealing service.
This investment pays for itself by preventing expensive repairs and extending your driveway’s life. Consider that full driveway replacement costs $8,000-15,000, while regular sealing every 2-3 years costs just a few hundred dollars each time.
Our estimates include all surface preparation, crack filling, thorough cleaning, and premium sealcoat application. You know exactly what you’re paying for upfront, with no hidden costs or surprises after we start.
We back our driveway sealing work with a complete satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with the results, we make it right at no additional cost to you.
Our guarantee covers proper application technique, even coverage, and professional workmanship using premium materials designed for Long Island’s challenging climate. We follow proven methods that deliver results you can see and protection that lasts.
Sealcoat longevity depends on weather exposure, traffic patterns, and maintenance, which we’ll explain clearly. We also provide specific recommendations to help you get maximum life from your investment and know when it’s time for the next application.
