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>

Q: How much does asphalt sealing cost for businesses?

• <div><p>The costs range from $0.15 to $0.50 per square foot, depending on the asphalt condition, sealant type, and labor.</p></div>

Q: What if it rains after I seal my driveway?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should seal your driveway when there won&rsquo;t be rain for several days, but at a minimum, there can&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll have to wait for your driveway to dry out and try applying again.

Q: Is it more expensive to maintain a concrete or asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">cost of asphalt driveway repair</a> is usually similar to the cost of average concrete driveway repairs, but maintaining asphalt tends to be less expensive on a per-instance basis. For example, resurfacing asphalt costs about $1 less per square foot, but it doesn&rsquo;t last as long as concrete and will need more frequent repairs. An asphalt driveway lasts 20 to 25 years, but a well-maintained concrete driveway can last twice as long, so the maintenance costs and timeline even out. </p></div>

Q: How many years does driveway sealer last?

• <div><p>A properly applied sealcoat should last between two to five years, but we advise having your driveway resealed every two to three years to give it optimal protection. If you live somewhere with extreme weather, plan to reseal your driveway every two years&mdash;heavy rainfall and freezing temperatures can deteriorate the sealant quickly. </p></div>

Q: How do you know if your driveway needs to be sealed?

• <div><p>A good rule for all homeowners is to seal every driveway to protect it. Wait at least three months to seal an asphalt driveway and one month to seal a concrete driveway. You know it&rsquo;s time to reseal your driveway when it shows obvious signs of wear and tear. It may appear as fading or discolored asphalt, small cracks, and oil stains. If you notice that one area of your driveway seems to dry slower than others, it&rsquo;s time to reseal.</p></div>

They came and sealed the cracks in the driveway and sealed it. Put barricades up so no one could drive on it for 24 hours. Told me to place the barricades beside the house and they would pick up and they did as they said they would. They called ahead to let me know when they were coming so I...

Representative came to my house to give me an estimate. He suggested that since it was a relatively new driveway, it would need 2 coats because the first one would "soak right in", and that he'd put some sort of rubberized coating on in, to help seal it. He arrived on the day agreed upon. He had...
