Should I seal my driveway or patio in Calexico?

Concrete sealing in Calexico puts a protective sealer on your bare concrete, pavers or masonry so water, chemicals and UV light do less damage, and most jobs come down to choosing between a penetrating sealer and an acrylic one.

Most people call us when a driveway, patio or garage slab has started to soak up water, hold onto oil spots or look tired, and they want to protect it before it gets worse. The price moves with the size of the area, how much cleaning and old sealer has to come off first, and which sealer you pick, and the written estimate gives you the figure for your concrete. The schedule turns on the weather, because a sealer only goes down on a day its maker allows, and on how new the slab is, since one acrylic maker says fresh concrete has to cure at least 28 days before it's sealed.

How we handle concrete sealing

We start by talking through which sealer fits, because it mostly comes down to the look you want and how often you're willing to redo it. Then we wash the surface to lift dirt and oil and take off any old sealer or curing compound, since one acrylic maker calls for that before its product goes on, and the new coat holds better on clean concrete. We measure the area so the amount of sealer matches the space, and we put it on thin, because one maker warns that too heavy a coat, too many coats or resealing too often can cause bubbling, whitening and peeling. We only seal on a day the maker's conditions allow, even if that means moving the date.

Sealer protects sound concrete, but it won't fix damaged concrete. One acrylic maker says its product isn't meant to seal cracks or repair a surface that's structurally unsound, so if I find wide cracks, flaking or a worn top layer, we'll talk about concrete resurfacing and overlays first. Indoors, where a slab is uneven, self-leveling concrete and overlays can give you a flat surface before any finish goes on.

Concrete sealing in Calexico and what to know about permits

Calexico's Building Division handles plan review and inspections in the city, and it works out permit approvals with outside agencies, including the county's Air Pollution Control District. I can't tell you from here whether your sealing job needs a permit, so I'll check and tell you at the estimate, and if it does, we handle the paperwork with the city or county office that covers your address and book the inspections. If you'd like to ask the city yourself, the building office is at 760-768-2105. The air district also has a rule on architectural coatings that covers anyone who applies one in the district or has one applied, and that includes the sealer we put down for you.

Most sealing calls here are driveways, patios and garage slabs, some freshly poured and some with an old sealer worn thin where the cars and foot traffic go. We see the same mix on jobs in Heber and El Centro, and we handle it the same way, with the old coat off before the new one goes on.

Questions about concrete sealing in Calexico

How much does concrete sealing cost in Calexico?

There's no set price, because I price each job after seeing the concrete and give you the figure in a written estimate. A slab that needs old sealer stripped or a lot of oil lifted costs more to seal than clean concrete. Over the years an acrylic usually gets resealed more often than a penetrating sealer, so count those reseals when you compare.

Will sealing change how my concrete looks?

A penetrating sealer usually won't, while an acrylic will darken it. One penetrating sealer's maker says its product works below the surface without changing the look, and an acrylic maker says theirs darkens the concrete and can make flaws stand out. If your slab has patches or stains you'd rather not highlight, I'd lean toward a penetrating sealer.

How often do I need to reseal concrete?

One national guide puts acrylic sealers at a reseal every 1 to 3 years and penetrating sealers every 5 to 10 years. The same guide says direct sun and heavy traffic shorten that, so a driveway you park on every day will need it sooner than a shaded patio. It puts epoxy or polyurethane coatings at 5 to 15 years, if you'd rather redo it less often.

What is the best time to seal concrete in Calexico weather?

The best time is a day that fits the maker's window for the sealer going down. One penetrating sealer's maker says the air should be between 50 and 90°F, the surface out of direct sun and no rain expected within 24 hours. An acrylic maker warns that hot weather or a hot surface can make its sealer bubble, so we set the date by the forecast and move it when we have to.

How long does sealed concrete take before I can walk or park on it?

For one penetrating sealer, the maker says light foot traffic waits 4 to 6 hours, and furniture and vehicles wait 24 to 48 hours. That maker allows longer drying when it's cooler or more humid. We'll tell you the times for the sealer we used when we walk the job with you.

Does sealing make concrete slippery?

It can, since one maker says each coat may make the surface less slip resistant. The fix that maker points to is adding sand to the wet sealer, so ask us about it at the estimate if the area gets wet or gets a lot of foot traffic.

  • Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays

    When the concrete is cracked, flaking or worn at the top, a new resurfacing layer gives you a sound surface that's worth sealing again.

  • Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays

    If an indoor slab dips, slopes or has low spots, a self-leveling layer flattens it out so the finish you put on top sits even.
