A driveway sealing price is useful only when you know the surface, preparation and repairs it covers. Asphalt coating, concrete sealing and interlock restoration are different jobs, so a single Ontario price-per-square-foot figure can make unlike quotes look comparable.

What the starting price tells you
A minimum service price accounts for more than the visible coating. Assessing, preparing, setting up and completing a small job still requires a visit. Multiplying a generic rate by a small driveway's square footage may therefore produce a figure below the actual minimum.
Request a written quote before treating a starting price as the total. Confirm taxes, any optional work and all inclusions directly in that quote.
| Surface | D&D pricing basis | Confirm before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt driveway sealing | From $450, with a property-specific quote | Measured area, existing coating, preparation and repair scope |
| Concrete sealing | Property-specific quote | Concrete condition, compatible product and intended finish |
| Interlock and paver sealing | Property-specific quote | Cleaning, joint restoration, repairs and sealing as separate items |
What changes a driveway sealing quote?
- Area: provide approximate length and width, including side sections.
- Condition: identify cracks, loose material, stains, depressions and standing water.
- Old coating: mention what was applied previously and any peeling or uneven finish.
- Preparation: confirm cleaning and which repairs are included.
- Product: identify the compatible sealer and application instructions.
- Access: note parked vehicles, shared access and when the driveway must reopen.
Ask for repair items to be listed explicitly. Sealing does not correct settlement, rebuild a weak base or fill potholes as a substitute for repair.
Asphalt, concrete and interlock are different scopes
Keep each quote tied to the actual surface. A dark asphalt coating should not be assumed suitable for concrete. Interlock can need joint restoration before any sealer is considered. Compare our asphalt and concrete sealer guide, concrete sealing and interlock sealing pages.
How to compare two quotes
Compare the same measured area and preparation. Confirm the product, application rate and number of coats specified for that product, rather than assuming that an extra coat is always better. Ask what happens if unsuitable weather postpones the work.
A lower price by itself does not prove poor workmanship. Missing scope, unclear product information or unexplained exclusions are better reasons to ask follow-up questions. Keep the written inclusions with the final agreed price.
DIY versus professional work
A DIY estimate should include cleaner, repair material, sealer, application tools and disposal, as well as your time and access arrangements. Use the coverage on the product label for your measured area; do not assume every pail covers the same surface.
A professional quote should explain the work being supplied. It should also identify defects the coating will not resolve. When the surface is structurally damaged, ask whether repair or replacement assessment should happen first.

Frequently asked questions
How much does D&D driveway sealing cost?
Driveway sealing starts at $450. The final written quote depends on area, condition, preparation, access and the agreed scope.
Is crack repair included in sealing?
Check the written scope. Cleaning, repairs and coating should be identified separately so inclusions and exclusions are clear.
Can I use an online square-foot rate as my final price?
No. Minimum service pricing, preparation and the specific surface can change the total. Use approximate area to request a property-specific quote.
Are concrete and interlock sealing the same price?
They need separate assessments because products and preparation differ. Request a quote for the actual surface and condition.
