How Much Does Concrete Sealing Cost in Kelowna?

A typical double-car driveway runs about 400–600 sq ft. Using our calculator, most land in the low four figures depending on surface type and condition. Stamped or exposed-aggregate driveways sit at the higher end because the texture drinks more product. The only way to get an exact number is a free on-site assessment.

Because no two slabs are the same. Square footage, surface type, how much prep it needs, and access all move the number. A flat 'per driveway' price either overcharges the small jobs or loses money on the big ones. We give you a ballpark with the calculator, then a firm written quote after we see the concrete.

We quote per project, not by a flat per-square-foot rate, because surface type, prep, and the condition of the slab all change what a square foot actually costs to seal. Most residential jobs land between $500 and $2,500, with minimum jobs around $400. Plug your square footage into the free calculator on this page and you'll get a tailored ballpark in seconds.

Patios and pool decks are usually smaller than a driveway, so they often fall at the lower end of the $500–$2,500 range. It comes down to square footage and condition: a rough surface or a pool deck that needs a non-slip additive takes more product and more time. The calculator gives you a ballpark, and a free on-site assessment gets you a firm number.

Yes, over the life of the slab. Replacing failed concrete in the Okanagan runs $8–$15 per square foot — typically $8,000–$15,000 for a full driveway replacement. Most residential sealing jobs run $500–$2,500, and a quality penetrating sealer extends the life of the concrete by years, blocking the freeze-thaw water that causes spalling and cracking in the first place.

It depends on the product. Cheap acrylic topical sealers peel and need redoing every 1–3 years. A penetrating crystalline sealer like Pavix CCC-100 becomes part of the concrete and protects for 7–10+ years from a single application, so the cost-per-year is far lower even though the upfront price is higher.

Our quotes cover surface cleaning and prep, even application of the sealer, and final inspection. We'll flag anything unusual — heavy oil staining, structural cracks that need addressing first, failed old sealer that needs stripping — before we start so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Yes — every job starts with a pressure-wash and deep clean. Sealer won't bond to a dirty slab, so oil, dust, moss, and any old peeling coating have to come off first. On a rough or stained surface this prep is often the biggest single chunk of the labour, and skipping it is the number-one reason DIY and cut-rate seal jobs fail.

On paper, slightly. A jug of hardware-store sealer plus a sprayer might run a couple hundred dollars. But DIY usually means a topical product that peels, uneven coverage, and missed prep — so you're redoing it in a year or two. The gap between a proper professional penetrating seal and a DIY acrylic is small upfront and large over ten years.

Asphalt sealcoating is priced by the square foot and costs far less per foot than concrete sealing. A typical residential asphalt driveway usually lands in the low hundreds, while commercial parking lots are quoted per square foot at a lower rate as the area grows. Condition, cracks we need to flag, and the number of coats move the number — we give a firm price after we see the surface.

Floor coatings are priced by the square foot and by the system. A polyaspartic build costs more per foot than a basic epoxy but cures fast and stands up better to Okanagan temperature swings and hot-tire pickup. A typical two-car garage usually lands in the low-to-mid four figures depending on the system, the prep, and any slab repairs needed first. We quote it on-site for free.
