Driveway Sealing FAQ for Cleveland Homeowners

How often should Cleveland homeowners get driveway sealing?
Given Cleveland's lake-effect snow: 60+ inches in cleveland, 100+ inches east of the city, most homeowners benefit from driveway sealing at least once a year. Ice dam prevention and removal (November–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Cleveland most need driveway sealing?
Brick colonial and Tudor homes in Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights and Victorian homes in Tremont, Ohio City, and Gordon Square are the most common home types in Cleveland and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should I seal my driveway?
Most asphalt driveways should be sealed every 2–3 years. New driveways should wait 6–12 months before the first sealing to allow proper curing.
How long does the process take?
Most residential driveways can be sealed in 2–4 hours. The driveway should stay off-limits for 24 hours and avoid vehicle traffic for 48–72 hours for full cure.
Can you seal a cracked driveway?
Yes. Minor to moderate cracks can be filled prior to sealing. Severely deteriorated driveways may need repairs or replacement before sealing is effective.
