How to use this calculator
- Enter the driveway area (sq ft).
- Select the material and finish choices.
- Toggle the optional work that applies.
- Choose your state and review each line.
Results explained
The calculator separates the primary installed material from the selected finish and optional scope so you can compare contractor proposals component by component.
Quick reference: driveway sealing midpoints
Installed U.S.-average midpoints before the selected state adjustment.
| Scope | Midpoint |
|---|---|
| Asphalt, one coat | $0.55/sq ft |
| Concrete sealer | $0.90/sq ft |
| Second coat | +$0.38/sq ft |
| Crack fill | +$0.50/sq ft |
Rates are planning midpoints; difficult access, repairs, and minimum job charges can shift quotes.
How the estimate is built
Sealer type and coat count are applied to driveway area; crack filling is a separately visible preparation line, then state scaled.
Example scenario
An 850 sq ft asphalt drive with two coats and typical crack fill is about $1,220 at U.S. average.
FAQ
Can sealing fix alligator cracking?
No. Structural failure needs patching or replacement before a coating can help.
How often should asphalt be sealed?
Climate and traffic matter, but many drives are evaluated every two to four years.
Does this include power washing?
Light cleaning is assumed; oil stains and deep concrete cleaning can require extra work.
