Driveway Sealing FAQ for Washington DC Homeowners

How often should Washington DC homeowners get driveway sealing?
Given Washington DC's hot, humid summers averaging 88°f+, most homeowners benefit from driveway sealing at least once a year. Spring pollen coating all exterior surfaces often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Washington DC most need driveway sealing?
Capitol Hill and Georgetown row houses and Colonial revival homes in Maryland suburbs are the most common home types in Washington DC 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.
What's the best time of year to seal a driveway?
Late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and no rain is expected for 24 hours.
