Driveway Sealing in Chapel Hill, NC
Chapel Hill is heavily wooded and hilly, with many shaded lots and sloped driveways.
Sloped, shaded driveways stay damp and get slick. We choose products carefully and let the slab dry fully before sealing.

What we watch for in Chapel Hill
Dense tree canopy keeps surfaces shaded and damp, so mildew and algae return quickly.
New concrete needs time
Fresh concrete should cure before it is sealed. Products differ, and many call for about a month. Builders finishing a new home often leave this to the owner.
New asphalt needs longer
New asphalt needs to cure and lose its oils before a sealer will hold, commonly months, not weeks. We will tell you if yours is too new.
How a driveway sealing job goes
- Clean. Dirt, algae and old failing sealer come off first. Sealing over grime traps it and the coating peels.
- Repair. Cracks and joints are filled with a flexible material so water stops getting under the slab.
- Dry. The slab has to be dry, not just dry on top. Humidity and shade in the Triangle can stretch this, so we watch the forecast.
- Seal. Sealer goes on in even coats, edge lines are kept tidy, and we tell you when it is safe to walk and drive on it.
