Driveway Coating in Oshkosh, WI

What driveways go through here

A concrete driveway in this part of Wisconsin faces snowplows scraping its surface, road salt dripping off cars, meltwater freezing in cracks and summer heat expanding the slab. Over time the surface scales, cracks widen, and the driveway starts to look tired. Replacement is expensive. A coating or resurfacing system can restore the surface and protect it for years at a fraction of the cost.

Options we offer

• Crack and joint repair with flexible sealants that move with the slab.
• Resurfacing with a polymer-modified overlay that restores a scaled surface.
• Penetrating sealing to reduce salt and water absorption.
• Decorative coatings with color or texture for a refreshed look.

Our process

1. Inspect the driveway for cracks, scaling, settling and drainage issues.
2. Pressure wash and degrease the surface.
3. Rout and fill cracks, and repair spalled areas.
4. Apply the resurfacer or coating, usually with a broom or textured finish for traction.
5. Seal and let it cure before traffic.

Is your driveway a candidate?

Coating and resurfacing work on driveways that are structurally sound with surface damage. If the slab is heaving, badly sunken or broken into pieces, replacement or lifting may be the better choice. We will tell you honestly which category your driveway falls into.

Traction comes first

Driveways must be safe when wet or icy. We never put a smooth, glossy coating on a driveway. Our systems use a textured finish so you can walk safely and tires can grip.

Timing

Driveway work requires dry weather and temperatures within the range the products allow. Spring through early fall is our main window. Plan to keep cars off the driveway for a day or two after the work.

Garage aprons

The apron where the driveway meets the garage often takes the most salt and damage. We can tie your driveway work into a garage floor coating so the transition looks clean and both areas are protected.

Maintaining a coated driveway

Shovel and plow carefully, set plow blades slightly high or use rubber edges if a service plows your driveway and avoid harsh de-icers. Reseal every few years to keep the surface protected. We can put you on a reminder list.

Drainage and edges

Water that ponds on a driveway freezes and causes the most damage. During the inspection we watch for low spots, downspouts that dump onto the slab and edges where the lawn has crept up and trapped water. Simple fixes, like extending a downspout or trimming back the edge, help any coating last longer. We will point those out so you can deal with them before or after our work.

Sidewalks, walks and steps

While we are on site, many homeowners have us treat the front walk, the steps up to the porch and the public sidewalk in front of the house. These surfaces see the same salt and freeze cycles as the driveway, and foot traffic makes scaling and loose edges a tripping concern. Doing everything in one visit keeps the colors and textures consistent, saves a second setup and usually lowers the cost per square foot. We can also patch chipped step noses and seal the joint where the steps meet the house foundation so water does not sit there through the winter.
