Should I seal my driveway or replace it?

• <div><p>If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">cost to install an asphalt driveway</a> typically ranges between <b>$4,200</b> and <b>$9,000</b>, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.</p></div>

Is it better to resurface or replace an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it. </p></div>

Q: How long does asphalt sealing take?

• <div><p>Most sealing projects take 1-2 days, including drying time before allowing traffic.</p></div>

Q: How do pros prevent sealant from peeling or flaking?

• <div><p>Proper surface prep and application techniques by pros minimize peeling, ensuring longevity.</p></div>

Q: What is the most eco-friendly driveway sealer?

• <div><p>In general, water-based driveway sealers are considered the most eco-friendly option. Products that utilize water, limestone, and some basic binding agents have lower VOC levels and odor levels compared to sealants made with oil or tar. In recent years, soy-based driveway sealers have become available for homeowners who want fully VOC-free driveway sealers.</p></div>

Rating is for politeness and price--They have not done any work yet due to not enough snow. I am hoping it is understood that I want them to do sidewalk and driveway when snow is 2 inches or more deep.

Magee was the lowest of 3 bids. Magee crew was amazing! Workers brought all supplies on the morning of the job. In less than 6 hours, they had stripped the old roof and replaced with the new. They used tarps to catch the debris and when the job was done, gleaned the ground around perimeter of...

"He is a newer contractor. He never came when promised so we waited. He skipped a day after promising to be there. He asked for more money after giving us a written quote, the fence was crooked but it passed inspection, and made lots of miscuts. I think he will get better after he is in business for a few years."
