A professional sealcoating job for a standard two-car driveway in Oregon costs between $300 and $600. That range depends on your driveway's size, condition, location, and when during the season you schedule the work.
If you want the longer answer — including what moves prices up or down, how Oregon pricing compares to national averages, and what to expect in different parts of the state — keep reading.
Driveway size is the single biggest factor in sealcoating price. Here are typical Oregon ranges for professional two-coat sealcoating with standard surface preparation:
| Driveway Size | Square Footage | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|---|
| Single-car driveway | 200-400 sq ft | $200-$350 |
| Two-car driveway | 400-700 sq ft | $300-$550 |
| Three-car or wide driveway | 700-1,000 sq ft | $450-$700 |
| Large or extended driveway | 1,000-1,500 sq ft | $600-$950 |
| Estate or rural long driveway | 1,500-3,000 sq ft | $900-$1,800 |
Per-square-foot pricing in Oregon typically runs $0.15 to $0.30 for residential driveways, with smaller driveways falling at the higher end of that range because of minimum job charges and fixed setup costs.
Sealcoating prices vary across the state due to differences in competition, travel distance, and local market conditions.
The Eugene-Springfield metro area has moderate sealcoating pricing, roughly in line with state averages. A typical two-car driveway runs $300 to $525. Several established contractors serve the area, and competition keeps pricing reasonable. Properties in South Hills, River Road, and the Bethel area are all within standard service range for most contractors.
For projects in the Eugene area, see our Eugene location page for service details.
The Corvallis-Albany area sees similar pricing to Eugene, though slightly fewer contractors serve the market. Expect $325 to $550 for a standard driveway. OSU campus-adjacent properties and older Corvallis neighborhoods often have longer, narrower driveways that require more edge work and can push pricing toward the higher end.
Salem pricing is competitive, with several contractors servicing the capital metro. Standard driveway sealcoating runs $300 to $550. West Salem properties with steeper grades may see a small premium for additional labor.
The Portland metro area — including Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham, and Hillsboro — generally runs 10 to 20 percent higher than the Willamette Valley. A two-car driveway in the metro area typically costs $375 to $650. Higher labor costs, traffic, and longer travel times between jobs all contribute.
Properties outside city limits or in more remote areas may see trip charges or higher per-job pricing due to travel distance. A contractor driving 30 to 45 minutes outside their base area will factor that time and fuel into the quote. Rural driveways also tend to be longer, which increases material and labor costs.
| Region | Two-Car Driveway Range | Per Sq Ft Range |
|---|---|---|
| Eugene / Springfield | $300-$525 | $0.15-$0.28 |
| Corvallis / Albany | $325-$550 | $0.16-$0.28 |
| Salem / Keizer | $300-$550 | $0.15-$0.28 |
| Portland Metro | $375-$650 | $0.18-$0.32 |
| Rural / Outside Metro | $400-$700+ | $0.18-$0.35 |
The ranges above assume a driveway in decent condition. Several common conditions increase the cost:
Cracks wider than a quarter inch need to be sealed with hot-pour rubberized sealant before the sealcoat goes on. This is a separate process with its own materials and labor. Expect an additional $1.00 to $3.00 per linear foot of crack. A driveway with 50 linear feet of cracks adds $50 to $150 to the total.
Petroleum stains from vehicle leaks prevent sealcoat from adhering. Professional contractors apply a commercial primer to these areas before sealing. Oil spot treatment adds $25 to $75 depending on the number and size of stains.
Driveways with significant moss growth, dirt accumulation, or debris require power washing before sealcoating. Basic cleaning is included in most quotes, but heavy-duty pressure washing may add $50 to $150.
Driveways with extensive landscaping borders, multiple garage bays, walkway transitions, or concrete curbing require more hand-application work around edges. This is labor-intensive detail work that adds time and cost.
A driveway that has not been maintained — with oxidized, gray asphalt, widespread cracking, and surface erosion — needs more prep work than one that has been regularly sealcoated. The first sealcoat on a neglected driveway costs more than a maintenance recoat on a well-cared-for surface.

Oregon's sealcoating season runs roughly from early June through late September. Weather outside that window — temperatures below 50 degrees F, rain probability, and overnight moisture — makes sealcoating unreliable.
Within that window, pricing can vary:
| Season Period | Pricing Trend | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Early June | Standard to slightly lower | Season opener, crews filling schedule |
| July - August | Peak pricing | Highest demand, full schedules, longest wait times |
| September | Standard to slightly lower | End of season, some flexibility |
| October+ | Not recommended | Temperature and rain risk too high |
National average sealcoating prices for a two-car driveway range from $250 to $500. Oregon falls slightly above the national average for several reasons:
That said, Oregon prices are not dramatically higher. The difference is typically 10 to 15 percent above national averages — meaningful but not out of line.

Our sealcoating cost guide covers the estimating process in more depth.
A new asphalt driveway in Oregon costs $4,000 to $10,000 depending on size. Sealcoating every two to three years at $350 to $500 per application adds up to roughly $1,500 to $2,500 over a decade. That maintenance investment can extend the life of your driveway from 15 to 20 years (without sealcoating) to 25 to 30 years (with regular sealcoating).
The math is straightforward: spending $2,000 on sealcoating over 10 years to delay a $7,000 repaving job by 10 additional years is a clear return on investment.
