Driveway and Patio Sealing
Preserve your driveway and patio from wear and weather with professional driveway sealing services from Chagrin Home Improvements. Your driveway is one of the most exposed surfaces around your home—constantly subjected to traffic, moisture, temperature swings, UV rays and other environmental factors. Over time, these forces can cause cracking, fading, discoloration and erosion that not only look unsightly but can also lead to costly repairs.
Driveway and patio sealing from Chagrin Home Improvements offers a professional service that helps to protect your surfaces and extend their life. We use high-quality sealants that lock out water, prevent infiltration of mildew, oils and grime, and keep your driveway or patio strong and smooth for years to come.
Chagrin Home Improvements offers two major driveway sealing services, depending on the material used to construct your driveway:
- Concrete Sealing: Uses different, often penetrating, sealers to prevent water absorption and staining
- Block/Paving Sealing: Helps seal individual blocks and pavers and prevent water and contaminant intrusion
Our professional driveway sealing can include:
- Pre-sealing power washing — removing dirt, moss, oil, and grime
- Surface preparation — ensuring an absorptive texture and surface
- High-grade sealant application — even coating that bonds to the pavement
- Final evaluation — ensuring complete coverage and a clean finish
Driveway and Patio Sealing Process
Here’s a more detailed look at the step-by-step process we use when sealing driveways and patios. At Chagrin Falls Home Improvement we perform this work on concrete, block, and paver walkways, patios and driveways.
Assess Surface
We will assess the surface for any damage that may need to be repaired before sealing. This could include filling in small cracks or patching concrete to adjust unlevel surfaces. While we are happy to assess and report our findings, our team does not perform repair work. We leave it to the homeowner or business owner to contract repairs, or opt to continue sealing without making repairs.
Prepare the Surface
To ensure that our driveway sealing efforts make the biggest impact, we can thoroughly clean the surface. This includes removing weeds, debris, and oil stains via power washing
Apply Sealant
Our expert crew will choose the ideal day with favorable conditions to schedule your driveway sealing project. We will then apply the sealer in small, manageable areas using our well-honed techniques and specialized tools to spread it in thin, even coats. We are always sure to move in a consistent direction to ensure the best finish. After we’ve finished applying sealant, you will then be advised as to the time that the surface requires to cure.
Final Evaluation
After applying a high-grade sealant application in an even coating that bonds to the concrete or pavers, our team does a final evaluation. We take a detailed look at your newly sealed driveway or patio to ensure that we achieved complete coverage and a clean finish. If anything looks out of place, we will address it right away.
Benefits Of Driveway and Patio Sealing
Sealing your driveway or patio helps to protect against water penetration. When water gets into cracks or even the micropores of a driveway, it can erode and weaken the integrity of the driveway itself. Water also freezes during cold months and when it does, it expands, causing the cracks and crevices to become larger and deeper. Sealing a driveway is a key way to prevent damage from the freeze-thaw cycle. Regular cleaning and sealing can also help to prevent mold, mildew, and stains from taking hold on this well-used surface.
When properly cared for, a concrete, block or paver driveway can last longer. Beyond improved longevity, a well-cared for driveway also enjoys improved aesthetics, retains more value, and enhances your home’s curb appeal. If your driveway has been neglected, scheduling a driveway sealing appointment can be one key step in getting it looking new again. Preliminary repairs may need to be made independently.
When paired with expert power washing, a sealed driveway not only performs better, it also looks refreshed and well-maintained for years to come. If you're noticing that your driveway or patio surface looks faded or dull or that small cracks or surface wear are present, it’s time to schedule our professional sealing service. Whether you just bought an older home or your home is fairly new, driveway sealing is a smart maintenance choice to keep your property looking well-cared for.
What We Do Not Do
Important Note on Our Scope of Services: We are not an asphalt or structural masonry repair company. Although we offer powerwashing and surface cleaning for asphalt driveways, we do not provide asphalt sealcoating, asphalt repairs, crack filling, or pothole patching. Furthermore, our services do not include structural or masonry repairs, such as leveling uneven concrete or regrouting paver joints. We specialize strictly in deep cleaning and applying protective clear sealants to concrete, paver, block, and brick surfaces.
