Search results love neat sealing $/sq ft tables and “reseal every few years” calendars—Western Washington driveways and patios do not. This is an honest concrete sealing cost Seattle guide focused on sealing / resealing cost factors: what moves price (size, prep and moss, sealer family, coats, access, candidacy), why Olsen will not publish a rate card online, how this differs from the sealing hire, stamped sealing, and moss-before-sealing pages, and how photos plus a free on-site assessment get you a real number. Call (425) 215-2560.
Sealing pricing is job-specific: approximate area and layout, surface prep (including moss/algae when needed), host-slab soundness, sealer family, number of coats and dry windows, access and staging, finish (broom vs stamp handoff), and Western WA weather windows. Aggregator and national sealing guides often publish rough $/sq ft bands—treat those as general industry guidance, not Olsen’s price list. Olsen does not publish one-size unit prices online; we confirm scope on assessment. Start with a complimentary phone/photo review, then a free on-site assessment if a visit is needed. Call (425) 215-2560 (Mon–Sat 7:00 AM–6:00 PM).

Approximate square footage, edges, stairs or steps adjacent to the slab, furniture or vehicle clearance, and staging all change labor time. Tight side yards, HOA timing windows, and multi-surface properties can move the number even when “sq ft” looks small—cost is not just multiply-by-area.
Clean, degrease, and remove loose film; moss and algae when present are a real cost driver in Western Washington. Skipping prep to hit a cheap internet rate is how seals peel early. See also: concrete moss removal before sealing for prep depth.
Acrylic film vs penetrating families behave differently for sheen, breathability, and recoat—see penetrating vs acrylic concrete sealer. Number of coats and dry windows matter; PNW weather can stretch schedules—no made-up day guarantees and no coat-count price codes.
Peeling incompatible film, hollow sound, rocking panels, settlement, or chronic ponding point to repair, overlay, or replace honesty—not another coat. Cheap seal on a failing host is usually the expensive path. For candidacy / hire framing, see concrete sealing Seattle; when structural or drainage issues dominate, see fix drainage before resurfacing and concrete overlays.
Stamped decorative jobs often need different prep and coat care—see stamped concrete sealing Seattle. See also: concrete sealing Seattle.
If the host no longer qualifies for seal/reseal and you are comparing restore vs tear-out budgets, the cost-family related pages are concrete driveway cost Seattle, concrete patio cost Seattle, and concrete resurfacing cost Seattle.
Angi, Thumbtack, and national sealer cost blogs often show rough sealing $/sq ft bands or sample project totals. Those tables can be useful as general industry guidance—and misleading when they skip PNW moss prep, peeling film, host candidacy, access, coats, and weather windows. Ask better questions: Is the host still sound? What prep (including moss) is required? Which sealer family fits prior coatings? How many coats and what access? Then get a real number from assessment—not from a search bar. Olsen does not publish one-size $/sq ft online; we confirm scope on assessment.

It depends on approximate area, surface prep (including moss/algae when needed), host-slab candidacy, sealer family, number of coats, access/staging, finish (broom vs stamp), and weather windows—not a single internet rate. National and aggregator guides often publish rough $/sq ft bands for sealing; treat those as general industry guidance, not a bid. Olsen Concrete does not publish one-size $/sq ft online.
