Do you need to seal a driveway after pressure washing?

• <div><p>You don't technically need to seal your driveway after pressure washing, but doing so will help keep your driveway clean for longer. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-products-should-i-use-seal-my-concrete-driveway.htm">best driveway sealer</a> depends on the type of driveway you have. To seal asphalt, consider an asphalt emulsion sealer, fast-drying sealer, or latex acrylic sealer. Concrete driveways commonly use acrylic sealers or penetrating sealers. </p></div>

What if it rains after I seal my driveway?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should seal your driveway when there won’t be rain for several days, but at a minimum, there can’t be rain for at least 24 hours. If it rains shortly after you seal your driveway, the water can wash away the sealer and render your work useless. You’ll have to wait for your driveway to dry out and try applying again. Note that some sealers—like oil-based sealers or specialty fast-drying sealers—may cure faster. Ask your contractor for information on timing before the install, and if there’s rain in the forecast, postpone the job.</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.
