Driveway Sealing in Raleigh, NC
Raleigh mixes older in-town lots under mature oaks and pines with newer infill homes.
Older Raleigh driveways often have hairline cracks and worn surfaces. We clean, fill and let the slab dry before we seal, so the sealer bonds to sound concrete.

What we watch for in Raleigh
Heavy tree cover drops pollen, leaves and needles onto concrete and keeps shaded surfaces damp, which grows algae. Red clay tracks in from yards and construction.
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.
