Concrete Care and MaintenanceConcrete Care and Maintenance
Concrete is easier to take care of than you might think. Concrete can be left just the way it is after it has been poured. Some homeowners like the idea of putting sealers on the surface to make it shiny and more stain resistant. This can be done using a variety of products. We use the most modern sealers available that last for approximately 3 to 5 years depending on the amount of ultra violet light the slab gets.
Patios and driveways that have been poured using stamped colored texture get the sealers to protect the color on the surface and the antiquing colors. Sealing these slabs gives the owners many more years of beautiful use. If an exposed aggregate slab driveway or patio is poured, sealing is really not necessary. It is up to the homeowners tastes and what they are trying to achieve. Some clients are worried about oil spills from their cars. Sealing the driveway will make the spill easier to clean up, depending on which sealer is used. Concrete is a wonderful building material that has been designed to give the owner many years of low maintenance, worry free use.
