Importance of Driveway Sealing
A driveway sealer is a specially-designed product to protect your driveway from damage and prolong its lifespan. This is done by applying a liquid product over an existing surface to seal the surface and fill small cracks and holes. You can imagine driveway sealant as a protective layer on the surface to keep water and dust from entering the surface and stand firm against UV rays and other intense temperatures.
If a driveway is left unsealed, it’s subject to all sorts of damage. Water, dirt, and other debris will penetrate the surface and erode your driveway from the inside out. Tire tracks and constant footsteps will slowly wear down a driveway’s strength, causing it to crumble. And, most importantly, our erratic and severe Midwest weather will eat at the integrity of your driveway. Professional driveway sealing is a key necessity to ensuring a driveway lasts for years.
Our Superior Driveway Sealing Process
Like we tell ourselves, the difference between a surface that stays in shape and one that falls apart quickly is the meticulous, professional process. That’s why we have spent years training our team to provide the best service and accumulated countless projects where customers are 100% satisfied.
Here’s how we ensure your driveway is protected and good-looking for years with our driveway sealing process:
Step 1: We believe that a successful project and customer relationship relies on great communication from the start. That’s why we first consult with you and assess your driveway to determine the best solution.
Step 2: Next, we come out to your property and power wash your surface to get rid of any dirt and debris.
Step 3: Once the concrete is completely dry, we deal with any cracks or potholes to provide a level, good-looking surface.
Step 4: After that, we apply two coats of either a penetrating or topical sealer (depending on what product you desire).
A penetrating sealer soaks into the concrete and hardens, which is best used on driveways and non-colored concrete. On the other hand, topical sealer sits on top of the concrete to protect and enhance the color and finish of decorative and stamped concrete surfaces.
Step 5: Finally, we let the sealer dry and inspect to ensure that everything looks great. You just need to wait a day or two before walking or driving on your driveway, and then it’s in good shape for years on end!

The product and service itself is lower cost, and with regular services you can save tons of money in the long run.
Enhanced Property Value: Your driveway plays an integral role to your home’s aesthetic appearance and functionality. So, a driveway comes up as one of the exterior features that’s inspected in the selling of a home. Keeping your driveway—and property—in great shape with driveway sealing services will enhance your home’s property value and put more money in your wallet when it comes time to re-sell.
Our Professional Driveway Sealing Services: You might think driveway sealing sounds easy enough to do it yourself, but a lot more goes into it than meets the eye.

The Epoxy Floors by Welch team has spent years researching and acquiring only top-of-the-line products to offer the best results for your home.
Secondly, driveway sealing requires an expert, experienced eye and hand to get the job done right.
