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 sealcoating worth the money?

• <div><p>Sealcoating is worth the investment because it protects your driveway from damage, extending its life and the timeframe in which you need to replace it. Sealcoating costs around <b>$500</b> on average, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">replacing a driveway costs</a> about <b>$5,000</b>. Sealcoating delays the need for replacement and it also helps keep your driveway looking newer for longer. As an added bonus, sealcoating can boost your property value and curb appeal, making it worth the sealing cost once every five years.</p></div>

How many coats of driveway sealer should I apply?

• <div><p>Apply either one or two coats, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions.</p></div>

Q: How long do asphalt driveways last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">Asphalt driveways last</a> anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don&rsquo;t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It&rsquo;s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for asphalt sealing?

• <div><p>Professionals provide high-quality sealants and applications, extending pavement life and enhancing appearance.</p></div>

Dillion is the Man. Gave me a general quote over the phone and it was the price he charged for the job. The RV pad/driveway he created for us on my slopped yard is just what we wanted and then some. It is a beefy structure that should last way beyond our needs. He got it done as he said he would...

Richie came with a crew on the scheduled day. He and his workers removed parts of the driveway, then repaved the entire driveway. Richie was personally supervising and helping his workers. He was meticulous. The result was quite impressive.
