Looking for concrete sealing for concrete in your area? We look at the surface first, choose the right method and pressure for it, and give you a price before any work starts. With concrete, the right approach is pressure wash with a surface cleaner.
The right method for the job
Cleaning solution: A degreaser for oil spots and a pre-treatment for organic growth; post-treatment slows regrowth.
Caring for concrete
Plain broom-finish concrete is the surface pressure washing is made for. A rotary surface cleaner gives an even finish without the stripes a wand leaves, and hot water helps with grease and oil.
Avoid: Holding a narrow tip close to the surface, which etches lines into the cream layer of the concrete.
How often: Every year, or every 6 months in shaded, damp spots.
Is it time for concrete sealing for concrete?
- Water soaks in instead of beading
- Stamped concrete looks faded and dull
- Surface flaking or spalling has started
- Stains soak in quickly
What causes the dirt and stains
- Old sealer worn away by sun and traffic
- Freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts
- Unsealed concrete absorbing oil and water
Safe steps for homeowners
- Do the water test: sprinkle water and see if it darkens the concrete quickly
- Keep traffic off a newly sealed surface for the time on the label
- Avoid deicers that contain ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate

Why more pressure isn’t better
- Sealing dirty or damp concrete, which traps stains and turns cloudy
- Slippery finishes without an anti-slip additive
- Applying too thick a coat, which peels
What happens on the day
- Clean the concrete thoroughly
- Treat stains and let the surface dry
- Repair cracks where needed
- Apply a penetrating or film-forming sealer
- Keep traffic off until it cures

Concrete Sealing for Concrete: frequently asked questions
How much does concrete sealing for concrete cost?
Concrete Sealing for Concrete typically costs $400-$1,200 for a typical driveway or patio, and usually takes 1 day plus cure time. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for concrete sealing for concrete?
For concrete: usually 2,500-3,500 PSI with a rotary surface cleaner for even results. What we avoid: holding a narrow tip close to the surface, which etches lines into the cream layer of the concrete. We keep the pressure even and controlled, with the right tools for the surface.
Is concrete sealing for concrete safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule concrete sealing for concrete?
Every year, or every 6 months in shaded, damp spots. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
