Concrete Sealing
Cleaning your concrete is only half the job. Once we pressure wash your driveway, patio, or walkway, applying a sealer locks in that clean look and protects the surface from future damage.
Here's why sealing matters in Kentucky. We have freeze-thaw cycles all winter. Water soaks into the pores of the concrete, freezes overnight, expands, and cracks the surface. Over time you get spalling, pitting, and crumbling that costs thousands to repair. A quality concrete sealer creates a barrier that repels water, oil, and stains while letting the concrete breathe. It also resists UV fading and red clay staining and makes future cleaning a lot easier.
We always start with a thorough hot water pressure wash. We won't seal dirty concrete because you'd just be locking in the grime. Once the surface is clean and completely dry, we apply the sealer using a commercial sprayer for even coverage and then back-roll it to make sure it penetrates fully. We use professional-grade sealers, not the cheap products that peel in six months.
You can choose a natural matte finish that doesn't change the look of your concrete, or a wet-look finish that gives it a slight sheen and deepens the color. We'll show you samples so you know exactly what you're getting.
Most residential sealing jobs in the Lexington area run between $450 and $1,250 depending on the area being sealed. We recommend resealing every two to three years depending on traffic and exposure.
Common Questions About Concrete Sealing
How long before I can walk or drive on sealed concrete? Give it 24 hours before foot traffic and 48 to 72 hours before driving on it. We'll give you specific timing based on the product and weather.
Will sealer make my driveway slippery? No. We add a non-slip additive to any sealer applied on walkways, pool decks, or other areas where traction matters.
Do I need to clean the concrete before sealing? Yes, and we handle that. Every sealing job starts with a full hot water pressure wash. Sealing over dirty concrete is a waste of money.
