Sealcoating: when you need it, cost factors, and quotes

Frequently asked questions

How often should a driveway be sealed?

It depends on climate, traffic, and product. Many contractors suggest every few years. Over-sealing can cause peeling.

Can concrete be sealcoated?

Asphalt sealcoat is for asphalt. Concrete takes different sealers; ask about penetrating sealers for concrete.
