Introduction: The Cost Question Every Homeowner Asks
When homeowners think about sealing their driveway, one question always comes up: Is it really worth the money?
It’s easy to look at sealing as just another expense. After all, it isn’t as exciting as a new deck or landscaping project. But the truth is, sealing is one of the smartest and most cost-effective home maintenance investments you can make.
At No Limit Sealing, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, and Toronto extend the life of their driveways for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Let’s break down the numbers and see why sealing always pays off in the long run.
What Drives the Cost of Sealing?
The price of driveway sealing depends on several factors:
-
Surface Size & Type
-
- A small asphalt driveway in Richmond Hill will cost less than a large interlock patio in Vaughan.
- Interlock typically requires more work (joint sand, stain removal, sealing).
-
Condition of the Surface
-
- Cracks, potholes, or sinking pavers add to preparation and repair costs.
- The better the condition, the cheaper the sealing.
-
Type of Sealer Used
-
- Commercial-grade penetrating sealers cost more upfront but last longer.
- Acrylics are less durable but provide a glossy, vibrant look.
-
Extra Services
-
Crack filling, oil stain treatment, re-sanding interlock joints, or re-levelling stones all affect the price.
-
👉 On average, professional sealing in the GTA costs between $350–$600 for asphalt driveways and $1,200+ for interlock surfaces.
The Real Value of Sealing 
Here’s where sealing proves itself:
- Extends Surface Life
Sealing adds years of durability. An unsealed asphalt driveway may last 10–12 years; sealed properly every 2–3 years, it can last 20+. - Prevents Expensive Repairs
- Crack filling + sealing = $250–$600
- Full repaving = $6,000–$10,000+
- Interlock re-sanding + sealing = $1,200+
- Full re-levelling or replacement = $5,000–$15,000
- Improves Curb Appeal
A freshly sealed driveway looks new again. For interlock, sealing restores vibrant colour and locks in sand to prevent shifting. - Boosts Resale Value
First impressions matter. Real estate agents often recommend sealing before listing a property because it makes the home look well-maintained.
Cost vs Replacement: A Simple Example
Let’s compare:
-
Option 1: No Sealing
- Driveway installed: $8,000
- Lasts 12 years before replacement is required.
- Total cost after 24 years = $16,000
-
Option 2: Regular Sealing
- Driveway installed: $8,000
- Sealed every 3 years at $300 per job.
- Lasts 20+ years before replacement.
- After 24 years: $8,000 + $2,400 (sealing) = $10,400
That’s a $5,600 savings — and your driveway looks better the entire time.
FAQs About Driveway Sealing Costs

A: Asphalt sealing typically ranges from $350–$600 depending on size. Interlock sealing starts at around $600 and goes up depending on condition and surface area.

A: Yes — even if your driveway is older, sealing prevents further deterioration and improves appearance.
