Wilmington's combination of salt air off the Cape Fear River, hurricane history (Florence set rainfall records here in 2018; Fran's 12-foot surge in 1996 damaged three-quarters of New Hanover County homes), and 73-to-81% summer humidity is hard on every exterior surface. That's the backdrop for any honest conversation about driveway sealing or rejuvenation here.
From the antebellum brick of the Historic District to the planned communities of Landfall, Mayfaire, and Forest Hills, the constants are the same: humidity, salt, sun, and storms. Our job is to match what's already in place and add years of life without replacement. Wilmington's housing mix is unusually wide. The Downtown Historic District (one of the largest in the US, with antebellum and Victorian homes) and the post-1980s subdivisions of Landfall and Mayfaire are very different conservation challenges.
Concrete driveways need sealing; asphalt driveways need rejuvenation. Different chemistry, different timing, both bio-based. We do both and will tell you which applies to your driveway as part of the free assessment.
