Service · Sealing & restoration
Protect new floors. Restore old ones.
Sealing is what makes a concrete floor last. Densifying is what makes it harder and more durable. Restoration is how we bring a tired floor back to life. We use the right system for the right job — never the same product on every floor.
Why sealing matters
Unsealed concrete absorbs everything.
- Concrete is porous. Without protection, it absorbs everything — water, oils, salts, food spills, road grime.
- A correctly sealed floor is easier to clean, lasts longer, looks better year after year, and costs less to maintain over time.
- The right sealer matched to the right use case is the difference between a floor that ages gracefully and one that needs replacement in 5 years.
What we do
Six systems, one decision: which one is right for your floor.
- 01
Lithium silicate densifiers
A chemical hardener that reacts with the concrete itself, filling pores and hardening the slab from within. Invisible. Doesn't change the look. Adds wear resistance, polish receptivity, and dust-proofing.
- 02
Penetrating sealers
Silane, siloxane, and silicate-based sealers that absorb into the concrete and bond chemically. Water and stain repellent without changing the natural look or feel of the floor.
- 03
Topical surface guards
Thin, breathable surface treatments that add gloss, stain resistance, and protection against everyday spills. Used on polished concrete and decorative finishes.
- 04
High-build coating systems
For floors that need real chemical or impact resistance — manufacturing plants, garages, food-grade facilities. Epoxy and urethane systems matched to the use case.
- 05
Polished concrete restoration
Bringing tired polished floors back to life. Re-densify, re-polish, re-seal. Far less invasive than replacing the floor — and far less expensive.
- 06
Slip-rated finishes
For pool decks, restaurant kitchens, wet-use commercial spaces. Slip-rated topcoat systems that meet or exceed the ANSI A326.3 DCOF standard for wet conditions.
About sealing & restoration
Sealing & restoration questions.
- How often does a concrete floor need to be re-sealed?
- It depends on the sealer system and the traffic load. Penetrating sealers in residential applications can last 8–15+ years before needing renewal. Topical surface guards on polished commercial floors typically benefit from a refresh every 2–5 years. High-build epoxies last 10–20 years in light commercial, less in heavy industrial. We provide a maintenance plan with every project that tells you when and how.
- What's the difference between a sealer, a densifier, and a coating?
- A densifier (typically lithium silicate) reacts chemically with the concrete to harden it from within — invisible, doesn't change the look. A penetrating sealer absorbs into the pores and repels water/stains without forming a surface film. A coating (epoxy, urethane) sits on top as a continuous film, adds gloss, and provides the most chemical resistance — but is also the most maintenance-intensive long-term. Different jobs, different tools.
- Can old, worn-out polished concrete be restored?
- Yes — restoration is some of our most rewarding work. We assess the floor (often years or decades after the original polish), determine what's recoverable, then re-densify, re-polish, and re-seal. The result is typically very close to the original finish at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. We do this every month on commercial floors that just need a refresh and on residential floors that have seen heavy life.
- Are polished concrete sealers slippery when wet?
- A correctly chosen and properly applied sealer meets or exceeds the ANSI A326.3 DCOF standard for wet conditions. For wet-use areas (kitchens, pool decks, entry foyers in rainy climates), we specify slip-rated topcoat systems with traction additives. The sealer choice for a residential basement is different from a restaurant kitchen — we match the system to the actual use.
- What kind of maintenance does a sealed floor need?
- Most sealed floors need: dust mop daily, damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner weekly, and a periodic deep clean (every 6–12 months). Avoid harsh acids, ammonia, or pine-based cleaners that can attack the sealer. We provide a written, plain-English maintenance plan with every project so your team or homeowner knows exactly what to do — and what not to do.
