Asphalt driveways in Ohio should be sealed every 3–5 years. First seal 6–12 months after installation to allow asphalt to cure. Sealing costs $0.15–$0.25/sqft DIY or $0.25–$0.50/sqft professionally. A 600 sqft driveway costs $90–$300 to seal professionally. In Ohio, the best time to seal is late spring or early fall when temps are 50–90°F. Concrete driveways should be sealed every 3–5 years as well.
A new driveway improves curb appeal significantly and typically returns 50–75% of its cost at resale. In Ohio, a $4,410 driveway can add $2,426–$3,087 to perceived home value. A cracked, potholed driveway reduces offers — buyers factor in replacement cost. Decorative concrete or pavers have higher ROI than plain concrete in higher-value neighborhoods.
