What sealcoating costs
Sealcoating and repairs
Sealcoating covers the surface. It doesn't fix cracks or potholes, which are priced separately: crack filling runs $0.50 to $3 per linear foot and a pothole patch $100 to $400.4-5 Repair, resurface or replace your driveway? has more.
Prices we don't give
- One cost guide's much higher per-square-foot rate. One HomeAdvisor page prints a sealcoating rate that its own sealing page and every other source contradict, so we leave it out.
- When and how often to seal. We haven't found an official or independent source on timing, so we don't give a schedule. Ask the company what it recommends for your driveway and why.
What to ask before work starts
- Whether cracks will be filled before sealing, and whether that's in the price.
- How many coats the price includes.
- How long to keep cars off the driveway afterwards, and what weather the sealer needs.
Each company on this site is listed with its phone number where it has one, so you can call two or three and compare. You can also send a request through the request form.
