I had my driveway and inside of my birdcage stained when I bought my new home last year. The stain still looks great. I received a call from the contractor (actually someone who the contractor “subs” out to), saying it’s time for my yearly power-wash and “sealing” of my driveway and birdcage. Was quoted a price of $250 for this work. Questions: 1) Is this a type of maintenance that I should be conducting yearly? (Or is this something that I could do less frequently)? 2) If I go forward with this work, does the price sound reasonable? (I’m in a patio villa with a very short driveway, and a long, narrow, enclosed birdcage on the side of my home).

Thanks for your replies, always helpful.
