Concrete Sealing in Baldwin Park

What we seal

• Driveways, including the long side drives common on older lots
• Patios and backyard slabs
• Walkways and porches
• Stamped and colored concrete

Choosing a sealer

Penetrating sealers soak in and keep a natural look. Topical sealers add sheen and can make colors pop. We will help you pick.

Getting it ready

We clean and degrease the concrete before sealing, since sealer locks in whatever is on the surface.

Local conditions

Hot, dry summers and occasional heavy winter rain are tough on concrete. Sealing reduces water and stain absorption.

Rain runoff and older driveways

When the first big winter storm rolls through the San Gabriel Valley after months of dry weather, water carries a season of dust, rubber and oil across driveways and into the gutter. Unsealed concrete drinks some of that grime in, and that is how the dark streaks down the middle of an old drive get started. A sealer keeps more of it on the surface where the next rain or a hose can carry it off.

Stamped patios from decades past

Some Baldwin Park backyards have colored or stamped concrete poured in the 1980s or 1990s that has faded to a chalky pink or gray. We clean it, test a small spot and apply a tinted or clear sealer that brings back some of the depth without making it slick.
