Beaverton Driveway Resurfacing and Sealing

Beaverton covers a lot of ground and a lot of years. A 1960s ranch in Cedar Hills has a completely different driveway from a 2020 house near Cooper Mountain. We are about 40 minutes west via Highway 26. At the estimate, our opening job is dating the concrete, because a 1965 slab and a 2019 slab fail in completely different ways and need different fixes.

Older driveways usually have cracks, worn surfaces, and maybe an old coat of paint. Newer ones mostly have builder sealer that is wearing off unevenly, some early oil spots, and tire scuffs at the turn-in. Both can be coated. The prep is different, the system is different, and so is the price.

Matching the System to the Slab

On older driveways in Raleigh Hills and West Slope, where the surface has worn or spalled, we grind the loose material off and put down a polymer overlay. At 40 to 100 mils, it covers wear, patches, and stains and gives the whole driveway one consistent look. We broadcast grit for traction, since Beaverton is gray and wet from October to May.

On newer driveways in Progress Ridge and toward Cooper Mountain, the concrete is usually in good shape. We remove any builder sealer, apply a densifier, and finish with an exterior acrylic sealer. It is cheaper and keeps the natural concrete look. Either system is rated for deicer; foot traffic can return in a day or two, and cars about a week after we finish.

Split Levels, Clay, and Mixed Ages

Split-level houses from the 1960s and 70s often have driveways that drop down to the garage, with a cold joint where two pours meet. That joint moves a little and will usually show through any coating. We seal it with a flexible filler rather than bury it. Beaverton's clay soil keeps ground moisture high, which can push up through older slabs. Near Murray Hill and Sexton Mountain, 1990s driveways are sound but stained. We look at each one and recommend the least expensive option that will actually last.

Beaverton Driveway Coating Costs

Beaverton driveways typically run 480 to 640 square feet. Using $3 to $7 a foot, expect somewhere from $1,440 to $4,480. Older driveways with paint to remove or heavy wear usually land toward the high end. Newer ones needing only sealing come in lower.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Cedar Hills driveway has old paint. Can you coat over it?

No. We remove it completely first. Paint on a driveway always fails eventually, and anything on top of it goes with it. On an older Beaverton driveway that usually means grinding, which adds time but is the only way to do it right.

What about the joint where my split-level driveway steps down?

That cold joint moves slightly with temperature and moisture. We fill it with a flexible sealant that can move with it, instead of burying it under rigid overlay where it would crack through. It stays visible as a clean line.

Is sealing enough for my Sexton Mountain driveway?

If the surface is still smooth and intact, yes. A densifier and sealer will bring back color and keep oil and water out. If you see flaking, pitting, or exposed stone, it needs an overlay instead. We check at the estimate.

Does the Beaverton rain affect when you can coat?

Yes. We need a dry slab and a dry forecast for at least the first day. Most driveway work here happens from May through September. We check the forecast and the slab moisture before we start.

How long will the coating last?

The overlay and sealer are warrantied for 8 years. Resealing every three to five years keeps the finish looking fresh. Cracks from ground movement are not covered, because no coating can stop the slab from moving.
