Concrete sealing in Seguin, TX - a surface that keeps its look and resists stains
Dull concrete that soaks up water, or old sealer peeling off? We prep it properly and seal it for the look you want.
Does my concrete need sealing, and what will it take?
Concrete sealing in Seguin, TX puts a protective product on fully cured concrete, either one that soaks in or one that forms a thin film on top, so your driveway, patio, pool deck or garage floor holds up better to water, stains and wear.
Most calls start with something you've noticed. The driveway stays dark long after it rains, oil and rust leave marks that won't scrub out, or an old sealer is peeling and going cloudy. Bare concrete takes in whatever lands on it, and a good sealer slows that down. If the old sealer is failing, it has to come off first, and on bigger floors that can mean concrete floor stripping and removal.
The price moves with the square footage, the kind of surface, how much cleaning and old sealer removal it needs, and whether you want a natural look or some shine. The schedule turns on whether the concrete is fully cured, how dry it is and the weather on the day, because sealer that goes on dirty or damp concrete doesn't hold. At Seguin Epoxy Floors & Concrete Polishing, I walk your concrete myself and put your number in a written estimate.
- We seal driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and garage and shop floors.
- Homeowners and small business owners both call us, for slabs inside the building or out.
- I point out cracks and scaling first, because sealer protects concrete but doesn't repair it.
What happens when you call us about sealing your concrete?
I come out to look at the job myself, and our own crew does the work with me running it. Here's how it goes from your first call to the walk-through at the end.
Call or send the form
Call (830) 340-0036 or use the contact form, and tell us the rough size, how old the concrete is and what kind of surface it is. We'll set a time for me to come out and look.
I check the concrete in person
I look over the surface, check the slab for moisture and cracks, and ask how you use it, since that decides which sealer makes sense. You get a written estimate that spells out the prep, the sealer and the price, so you know the cost before we touch anything.
We prep and seal on your date
If you go ahead, we set a date, and our crew cleans the surface, lets it dry and takes off any old sealer before the new coat goes down. Rushed prep is the usual reason sealer lets go, so we don't rush it.
We walk it with you
Before we pack up, we walk the finished surface with you so you can look it over and ask anything you want. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job, and that walk is where we make sure you're happy with it.

(830) 340-0036Questions people ask about sealing concrete in Seguin
These are the questions I hear most when I'm standing on someone's driveway or garage floor. If yours isn't here, call and ask me straight.
What is the best sealer for a driveway or pool deck in Seguin?
It depends on the surface and the finish you want. One supplier's guide points to penetrating sealers for driveways, sidewalks and broom-finished concrete, and film-forming sealers for stamped, decorative or colored concrete. For a pool deck, one maker sells a sealer with a slip-resistant additive for better traction, so ask me whether that kind of option suits your deck.
How long do I have to wait before sealing new concrete?
New concrete should typically cure for at least 28 days before its first sealing. Seal it sooner and you can trap moisture and get in the way of the curing, so if your slab was just poured, plan the sealing for after that. One supplier also advises sealing when it's between 50°F and 80°F and out of direct sun when you can.
How much does concrete sealing cost in Seguin, TX?
Across the US, professional concrete sealing usually runs about $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot, labor and materials included. That's a national figure, not our price, and where your job lands depends on the size, the surface and how much cleaning and old sealer removal it needs. I'll give you your own number in a written estimate once I've seen it.
Who is allowed to seal my concrete in Seguin, TX?
Any contractor you hire has to be licensed with the City of Seguin, and the city also asks contractors for a certificate of liability insurance, so ask to see it. We're fully licensed and insured. If you live in the house and it's registered as your homestead with the Guadalupe County Appraisal District, you can do the work yourself with the proper permits.
How often does concrete need to be resealed?
It depends on the type of sealer and how much traffic and weather the surface takes. Sealer wears with use, so plan on resealing from time to time to keep both the look and the protection. When I walk your concrete, I'll tell you what's likely to wear yours down first.
What causes concrete sealer to peel or turn white?
Usually poor adhesion or moisture trapped under the sealer. One maker notes that a film sealer applied improperly may not stick, which is why we check that the surface is clean and completely dry before we seal. If yours is already peeling, the old sealer has to come off before a new coat goes on.
