What does a sealer do?
Concrete is full of small pores. A penetrating sealer soaks in and lines those pores, while a topical sealer forms a thin film on top. Penetrating sealers keep a natural look and let the slab breathe. Topical sealers add some sheen and darken the color a little.
Where do we seal?
- Driveways and walks that collect oil drips, tire marks, and winter salt.
- Patios and pool decks that stay damp or grow algae in shady corners.
- Garage floors when a full coating is not in the budget yet.
- Commercial walks and loading areas.
Damp concrete against the house can feed mold and mildew. The EPA's guide to mold and moisture explains why keeping moisture in check matters.
Why seal concrete here?
Bentonville gets humid summers, freezing winters, and plenty of spring rain, so garage slabs fight moisture and road grime for much of the year. Sealing keeps water, salt, and stains from soaking in and makes the slab easier to clean.
Sealer or full coating?
A sealer is a lighter, cheaper step. It will not hide stains or add color the way a coating does. For the full look, consider a coated garage floor. If an old sealer or coating is already flaking, we can repair a coating that has lifted first.
Concrete sealing FAQs
How often does concrete need resealing?
It depends on the sealer and the traffic. We tell you what to expect for the product we use.
Will sealing make the driveway slippery?
Penetrating sealers do not change the texture. Topical sealers can be slick, so we add grit on walkways.
