Over time, concrete’s exposure to the outdoor elements causes it to become stained, dirty, and discolored. The buildup of leaves, oil, salt, snow, dirt, and other unwanted debris seeps into the surface's pores, leaving a tarnished and unsightly appearance.

Our concrete sealing services are designed to provide long-lasting protection for your exterior surfaces, using high-quality products that form a barrier to keep salt, oil, and other fluids from penetrating and staining your driveway and patio.

Cleaning and Sealing Your Stamped Patio
Stamped concrete patios are a very popular patio option in Cleveland, Ohio. Our team at Window Genie of Cleveland West has years of experience cleaning and sealing them and helping homeowners enjoy their backyards all spring, summer, and fall. Stamped concrete can be expensive so it’s important to properly maintain that concrete to protect its color and luster. We recommend sealing your patio every 2 to 3 years. Over time the sun and weather will beat out your old sealer. Once the sealer is worn out the sun will get to work on the coloring and patterns that your installer worked hard to give your stamped patio that beautiful look. Proactively cleaning and sealing your stamped patio will ensure that you protect your investment. If you wait too long to seal your patio it will lose color and become faded. Re-coloring stamped concrete is an expensive process. Let Window Genie of Cleveland West maintain your stamped patio by cleaning and sealing it to the best of our ability. We offer a flat look or a wet look sealer. Call, text, or request a quote here and we will let you know how we can help!
Benefits of Our Paver Sealing Services
Paver patios and walkways are a great addition to any backyard landscape. They do look really great when they are maintained properly. If they aren’t taken care of with regular cleaning, sanding, and sealing then they can look shabby, overgrown, and neglected. While they typically don’t require much maintenance, they can become tarnished over time by a variety of factors, including:
- Weeds
- Fading
- Mold
- Moss
- Weather stains
- Soil erosion
- Ants and other pests
High Quality Products for Lasting Protection
When you have your pavers professionally cleaned, sanded, and sealed, you can avoid irreversible damage. The technicians at Window Genie of Cleveland West use top of the line products to ensure a quality look that will last for years to come. We can provide a natural look or a wet look when it comes to sealing your paver patio.
Natural or Matte Finish
The natural look sealer that we typically use is call SEK Surebond. It is a water based sealer and is environmentally safe. This sealer gives your pavers a natural look which highlights the color of the stone that was originally installed. It’s a high-quality, joint stabilizing sealer that penetrates the sand joints to ensure that they harden up in between the pavers to prevent weed growth and paver shift over time. When we use this in conjunction with polymeric sand it provides for a beautiful finish. We offer different options for the color of the sand to fit the motif of your paver patio. We offer tan, black, or grey sand options.
Wet Look Paver Patio
The second look that we can offer for patios is the wet or glossy look. The sealer that we typically use for this is Masonry Defender. This joint stabilizing sealer will ensure that all the poly sand properly hardens up in between the joints and that the patio has a top notch wet look that will impress your friends and family.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have Efflorescence on my patio. Can it be removed?
The answer is yes. Efflorescence is that chalky white look that you can see leaching out of bricks sometimes. You will notice it on brick buildings and sometimes on your brick pavers. This basically happens when there is salt present within the porous brick. When the brick is soaked with water on a regular basis that salt and calcium will come to the surface and leave staining onto the brick. This can be removed and we highly recommend removing it before sealing your paver patio. Call Window Genie of Cleveland West and learn how we can restore, clean, and seal your patio today!
How long should concrete cure before sealing?
If your concrete is new, we recommend letting it cure completely before professionally cleaning and sealing it. In most cases, concrete can take anywhere from 6 to 24 months to cure before applying concrete sealant. Most concrete installers will place a cure and seal product on your poured concrete driveway upon completion. We will not high pressure wash any new concrete. If the concrete is newer (18 months or less) then we will softwash it and seal with the appropriate sealer upon completion. If the concrete is older then 18 months then we can use our surface cleaner to properly clean the concrete and then seal the surface afterwards.
How long does it take concrete sealant to dry?
Most concrete sealant is dry to the touch within a few hours. However, we recommend keeping hot tires off of your driveway for at least 12 hours. When it comes to stamped and paver patios we recommend staying off of them for 12 to 24 hours.
