How much does it cost to clean and seal a driveway?

In the Ohio Valley, most driveway clean-and-seal packages run $400–$900 depending on square footage and the sealer finish. Cleaning alone is typically $150–$300. Rally quotes are free, exact, and in writing.

How long does concrete sealing last?

Most driveways and patios need resealing every 3–5 years, depending on sun, traffic, and road-salt exposure. We'll tell you honestly when yours actually needs it.

Can you remove oil stains before sealing?

Yes — oil, rust, and organic stains get pre-treated with the right chemistry before the surface clean. Very old, deep-set oil may lighten rather than disappear completely, and we'll set expectations honestly before you commit.

Should pavers be sealed?

Pavers benefit from sealing even more than poured concrete: it locks the joint sand in place, blocks weeds and ants, resists stains, and deepens the color. Matte and wet-look finishes protect equally — it's your call on appearance.

What drives the price

Square footage — the biggest factor by far; bigger slabs take more time and product.
Condition — oil, rust, and heavy algae need pre-treatment before the surface clean.
Surface type — broom-finish concrete, stamped concrete, and pavers each clean and seal differently.
Access — slopes, tight spots, and landscaping around the slab slow the work.
Finish choice — natural matte and wet-look sealers cover differently, which affects cost.

Why professional cleaning looks different from DIY

The zebra-stripe driveway is the giveaway of a rental-machine weekend: cleaning freehand with a wand leaves overlapping swirl marks that show for years. Professionals use surface cleaners — spinning, shrouded heads that deliver even pressure across the slab — plus the right pre-treatments for oil, rust, and organic stains.

The result is a uniform, swirl-free finish, done in hours, with no gouging and no stripes.

When sealing is worth it (and when it isn't)

Sealing is at its best right after a professional clean, while the surface is bare and bright. It repels oil and water, blocks stains from soaking in, locks paver joint sand in place (fewer weeds and ants), and shields against the freeze-thaw cycles that spall Ohio Valley concrete.

If your concrete is new, badly cracked, or due for replacement soon, we'll tell you honestly whether sealing makes sense. For sound, freshly cleaned hardscape, it's the difference between staying clean for years and re-staining by next summer.
