Driveway Sealing Cost in NJ

The average cost to seal a driveway in New Jersey ranges from $200-$500 for a standard 2-car driveway (400-600 sq ft). This includes cleaning, crack filling, and two coats of premium sealer. Larger driveways or those needing extensive repairs may cost $500-$1000.

You should seal your driveway every 2-3 years for optimal protection. New driveways should wait 6-12 months before the first application. High-traffic driveways or those exposed to harsh conditions may benefit from sealing every 2 years.

Yes! Sealing your driveway is absolutely worth it. Regular sealcoating costs $200-$500 but prevents repairs that can cost $2,000-$5,000. It extends your driveway life by 10-15 years, prevents water damage, and maintains your home's curb appeal and value.

Professional driveway sealing includes: thorough cleaning and preparation, vegetation removal, crack filling with hot rubber filler, oil spot primer application, two coats of commercial-grade sealer, edge detail work, and complete cleanup. Most companies also include a 1-2 year warranty.

While DIY sealing costs about $100-$150 in materials, professional sealing is recommended because pros have commercial-grade sealers (last 2-3x longer), proper equipment for even application, expertise to identify and fix problems, and warranties on their work. DIY mistakes can cost more to fix than hiring a pro initially.

Main factors affecting cost include: driveway size (biggest factor), current condition and crack repairs needed, number of coats applied, type and quality of sealer used, accessibility and slope, geographic location, and seasonal demand. Spring and fall typically offer the best prices.
