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>

Q: Is chip seal worth the money?

• <div><p>Chip seal roads and driveways are slightly more expensive than gravel, but significantly more affordable than traditional asphalt. Chip seal works wonders when used as a top coat. Its lighter color is less heat-absorbant than black asphalt. It also renews your aging, deteriorating asphalt without having to spend on major repairs or redoing the entire driveway.</p></div>

Q: Do asphalt driveways crack?

• <div><p>Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cause asphalt to crack,</a> including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize asphalt surfaces?

• <div><p>Yes, with colored finishes and decorative stamping for a personalized touch.</p></div>

Q: Should I power wash my driveway before sealing it?

• <div><p>You should always power wash your driveway before applying a sealant. At any given time, your driveway could be covered with algae and moss, tire residue, oil and rust stains, and any combination of leaves, twigs, and dirt. If you skip power washing, you&rsquo;ll be trapping the dirt and grime beneath the sealant and lowering its chance of cementing itself to your driveway. While you can expect the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-pressure-wash-driveway.htm">cost to pressure wash your driveway</a> to average between <b>$100</b> and <b>$350</b>, the few hundred dollars beats an unattractive driveway or paying extra to reapply your driveway sealer.</p></div>

Tommy Falco's business, Susquehanna Sealcoating, came highly recommended by a friend. We called for an estimate, and he showed up the same day to take a look at our driveway. He gave us a price below what we expected, and made an appointment to show up the next week. He and his crew were there...

Did a terrific job as always. Edged everything nicely. They initially couldn't reach me on our old landline (eliminated it) so they stopped by the house early one morning to verify that we still wanted the service. Then they did the job right then and there - Nice job Walls!

I was not satisfied with how they did it and complained, but they did come out and make it right. The first seal had cracks in the driveway and they didn't do a top seal coating. They just sprayed some of the sealant into the cracks and didn't do the sealing correctly a couple of times. They...
