Stamped concrete driveway cleaned and sealed in a gloss finish in front of a stone home in London, Ontario

Driveway sealing

Driveway sealing that stands up to salt, tires and Ontario winters.

Broom-finish, stamped, coloured or exposed aggregate. We pressure wash, prep and seal your driveway with a high-quality solvent-based sealer in the finish you choose, backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.

What a driveway seal includes

Every driveway gets the full prep. A sealer is only as good as the surface under it.

  • Pressure wash and clean

    Dirt, salt residue, tire marks and organic growth removed so the sealer bonds to bare concrete.

  • Stain treatment

    Oil and rust spots treated before sealing. We tell you honestly what will and won't lift.

  • Dry time and inspection

    The slab has to be fully dry. We check moisture and repair minor surface issues before we spray.

  • Sprayed and back-rolled

    High-quality solvent-based sealer applied by sprayer then back-rolled for even coverage with no lap marks.

  • Your choice of finish

    Matte for broom finish and aggregate, semi-gloss or gloss for stamped and coloured driveways.

  • Cure guidance

    Foot traffic the next day, vehicles after 48 to 72 hours. We leave clear instructions and a warranty certificate.

Why seal a driveway

🧂

Road salt resistance

Salt brought home on tires is the top cause of surface scaling. A sealed driveway sheds brine instead of absorbing it.

❄️

Freeze-thaw protection

Water that can't get in can't freeze and pop the surface.

🛢️

Oil and stain resistance

Drips wipe off a sealed surface instead of soaking in.

🏡

Curb appeal

Colour comes back and stays. Especially dramatic on stamped and coloured concrete.

Is your driveway exposed aggregate?

Aggregate needs a slightly different approach to keep the stones locked in and looking wet.

Recommended finish

Semi-Gloss for driveway sealing

Semi-gloss enhances stamped and coloured driveways while hiding tire dust better than gloss. Broom-finish driveways usually look best in matte.

All three finishes use the same high-quality solvent-based sealer. Sheen is the only difference, and we bring samples to every site assessment.

Driveway Sealing questions

How long after sealing can I park on the driveway?

Foot traffic the next day and vehicles after 48 to 72 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. We give you a specific window at the end of the job.

Will sealing stop my driveway from cracking?

Sealing prevents surface scaling, spalling and salt damage. It does not stop structural cracks from soil movement, but it does keep water out of hairline cracks so they don't widen through freeze-thaw.

How often should a driveway be resealed?

Every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and salt exposure. Because we use solvent-based sealers, a reseal is a single fresh coat that bonds to the old one.

Can you seal a new driveway?

Yes, once it has cured, typically 28 days after the pour. Sealing new concrete early is the best protection it will ever get.
