As with anything else, it really pays to get a few estimates. I had my driveway sealed 2 years ago by an extremely reputable couple who not only moved a few heavy flower planters to do the job but also returned the next day to put them back in place. I'm not used to paying someone to do jobs like this because my husband always did it himself so I wasn't sure if the price was fair or not.
I need the driveway sealed again this year but only the section in front of the fence, about 2/3 of what I had done 2 years ago. The same couple who did it before gave me a price of $80 to do it this year and another company sealing my neighbor's driveway gave me a price of $170. It just amazes me that there is such a difference in price. Could it be that the second company is trying to take advantage of this poor old widow lady??
Seniors and single ladies, especially, need to beware when hiring outside help. And once you find people you can trust, keep them forever.
