Frequently asked questions

How long does an asphalt vs concrete driveway last?
Asphalt: 15-25 years with regular sealcoating. Concrete: 25-50 years with minimal maintenance. Pavers: 50+ years with occasional re-leveling.
Sealcoat every year or every 2-3 years?
Every 2-3 years is the right cadence for most climates. Annual sealcoating actually shortens lifespan by building up a brittle layer. Skip yearly sealcoat marketing.
Should sellers credit driveway repairs?
Drainage issues + severe cracking: yes, especially in homes where the driveway is also part of the foundation drainage. Cosmetic cracks alone: rarely successful.
