Concrete Sealing in Escondido CA - the right sealer for the look you want
Concrete soaking up water or flaking where the old sealer wore off? We clean it properly, then seal it with the type that suits it.
Should you seal your concrete, and with which sealer?
Concrete sealing in Escondido puts a protective product on your driveway, patio, garage floor or walkway to help guard the concrete from water and the problems moisture brings. There are two main kinds, one that soaks in and one that sits on top as a film, and we help you pick between them.
Most people call when their concrete looks dull and thirsty, darkens wherever water soaks in, or has an old coat flaking off. The price comes down to how many square feet you have, how much cleaning the surface needs, whether old sealer has to be stripped first and which type you choose, and if the surface is too worn to look good sealed, resurfacing it may be the better use of your money. The schedule turns on getting the concrete clean and dry and on the weather, since sealer goes on best in the coolest part of the day, out of direct sun, and hot, windy weather dries a water-based penetrating sealer before enough of it soaks in. At the estimate I write down the prep and repairs your concrete needs, so you can see what the price covers.

How we handle concrete sealing
I start by asking what the concrete has to put up with, like cars turning on it, kids and dogs, or a sprinkler that hits it every morning, and then we choose the sealer. A penetrating sealer soaks in and breathes, leaving no film and no added gloss, so if you want your concrete to look the same afterward, that's the one to ask for. A cure-and-seal product forms a film on top instead, and that film wears away over time. Then we clean the surface, because the penetrating sealer's maker requires it to be sound and free of dirt, oil and curing compounds before sealing. One maker's guide also calls for two thin coats rather than one heavy coat. The City of Escondido says water running into streets, gutters and storm drains isn't treated before it reaches local creeks, rivers and the ocean, and it treats letting pollutants into that system, directly or not, as a violation of city code, so we keep our wash water out of the gutter. The city's storm water guidance calls for powerwashing runoff to be stopped or directed onto landscaping.
Sealer protects sound concrete, but it won't hide a rough or patched surface. When the top is worn or chipped, concrete resurfacing and overlays give you a new surface to seal, and when an indoor floor has dips and high spots, self-leveling concrete and overlays bring it flat before anything goes on top.

Concrete sealing questions from Escondido
How much does concrete sealing cost in Escondido?
Professional concrete sealing across the US usually costs about $1.40 to $2.50 per square foot, including labor and materials. That's a national range, not our price, so your own number comes from seeing your concrete and what it needs first.
How long does concrete sealer last?
A cure-and-seal product usually lasts 1 to 3 years, and some peeling and flaking is expected as it wears away. It wears first where people and cars travel most and where the sun hits directly, so those spots will show it before the rest.
Will sealing my concrete stop stains?
No, neither cure-and-seal products nor penetrating sealers prevent stains. Stain protection isn't a reason to pick one type over the other, so the choice comes down to the look you want and how the concrete gets used.
How long do I have to wait to seal new concrete?
One sealer maker advises waiting 14 to 28 days before sealing new concrete, for best results. If your slab was poured recently, tell us the date so the sealing can be planned around that wait.
What is the best way to reseal concrete that was sealed before?
Find out first whether the old coat has worn away or needs to be stripped, because one maker advises resealing only after earlier coats have worn off or been stripped. It's a fair question to ask before you hire anyone, and the answer belongs on your estimate.
Does sealing concrete keep water out of cracks and joints?
No, sealer isn't a crack repair, and one maker says its penetrating sealer won't stop water from getting through structural cracks or open joints. Cracks and joints need their own fix, so ask about them when you get your estimate.
