I've found a number of videos and how-to guides online, but they're all lacking an answer to this basic question: how much time should I budget to do it? The repair work (filling cracks and holes) I'm not so worried about, as that time can be spread over a few days, but for the actual application I get the impression that it's best to do that all at once.

I found an estimate of "1 or 2 hours for an average size driveway", but "average" is a pretty ambiguous term. My driveway is approx. 2500 ft^2, an average driveway might be 400 ft^2 (???), so should I plan on 6-8 hours with 2 people working on it?

    As it turns out, the answer is "about 10 minutes", because we decided that it would take too long to do ourselves and hired someone to do it.

  • What kind of company does stuff like this? A general concrete/driveway place?

  • @MikeCole - you can google for seal coat and the name of your town. There are crews that specialize in this.

6-8 hours with 2 people sounds like it'd be about right to me, but I don't have experience in such things. 2500 ft^2 would definitely be above average in my book, that is like 10 ft wide by 250 ft long. I'd expect that a normal drive way would be 15-20 feet long.
