Three purchases, priced apart
| Purchase row | Sealing reading | Resurface or replace reading |
|---|---|---|
| Sealing row, per sq ft | Frame A $1.50 average; Frame B $1-$3 | not a resurfacing row |
| Sealing row, 2-car driveway | Frame B $575-$1,700 at 576 sq ft | not a resurfacing row |
| Resurfacing row, per sq ft | not a sealing row | $3-$7, HomeGuide resurfacing page |
| Resurfacing row, 2-car driveway | not a sealing row | $1,200-$2,900, HomeGuide resurfacing page |
| Replacement row, new driveway per sq ft | not a sealing row | $6-$15, HomeGuide resurfacing page |
Each reading is one source counting of one purchase row, never blended. The resurfacing rows stand on the HomeGuide resurfacing page as their own source line.

The sealing size lines stand once here, inside each frame alone.
Sealer type lines behind the versus rows, printed once
| Sealer type row | Frame A reading, per gallon | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic row | $16-$75 | inside the $1-$3 per sq ft size rows |
| Polyurethane row | $25-$110 | inside the $1-$3 per sq ft size rows |
| Epoxy row | $40-$175 | roughly 3x the acrylic rows |
| Penetrating row | no per-gallon split printed | no separate penetrating split printed |
| Labor row, per sq ft | $1.25-$1.75 | inside the $1-$3 per sq ft total |
| Do-it-yourself row, per sq ft | $0.10-$0.75 | no do-it-yourself split printed |
Sealer rows stand as their own rows on this guide, inside each frame alone. Frame B epoxy rows stand at $150-$450, $750-$2,250, $1,500-$4,500, and $3,000-$9,000 by size. The frames count the same sealing job on different bases -- a typical-job band and per-gallon sealer lines in Frame A against a by-size and by-project table in Frame B. Frame A prints its per-gallon lines inside its own frame alone; Frame B prints its size rows inside its own frame alone. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Named apart, never a row here: paver sealing, asphalt driveway sealing, and asphalt sealcoating -- this cluster prices poured concrete surfaces alone and carries no paver or asphalt guide of its own.
The local read
The local read: the frames above are national published frames, and a written quote for one address, one surface, and one sealer type is the only local figure; the frames stand as published, apart, and never blended into a local band.

Frequently asked questions
What does sealing print at against resurfacing, as reported?
Sealing prints at a Frame A professional average of $1.50 per sq ft and a Frame B band of $1 to $3 per sq ft. Resurfacing prints at $3 to $7 per sq ft on the HomeGuide resurfacing page -- a different purchase, named apart.
What does resurfacing a 2-car driveway print at, as reported?
The HomeGuide resurfacing page prints a 2-car driveway at $1,200 to $2,900. Sealing the same driveway prints at $575 to $1,700 inside Frame B -- two purchases, priced apart.
What does replacement print at, as reported?
The HomeGuide resurfacing page counts a new concrete driveway at $6 to $15 per sq ft as the replacement lane. Replacement stands apart from both sealing frames on this guide.
Do the sealing frames change on this guide?
No. Frame A still prints its typical job at $1,250 to $1,750 and Frame B still prints 1,000 sq ft at $1,000 to $3,000. The versus rows add a third source line and blend nothing.
Is paver sealing priced on this guide?
No. Paver sealing stands apart as its own surface on its own cluster, named apart here. This guide prices poured concrete sealing against resurfacing and replacement alone.
