Wilmington NC • Licensed & Insured • Bio-Based Sealer
Restore worn, sun-faded concrete in Wilmington without replacement. Our bio-based sealer penetrates the surface, locks out moisture, and brings back the natural tone. Driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks.
Wilmington's combination of salt air off the Cape Fear River, hurricane history (Florence set rainfall records here in 2018; Fran's 12-foot surge in 1996 damaged three-quarters of New Hanover County homes), and 73-to-81% summer humidity is hard on every exterior surface. That's the backdrop for any honest conversation about concrete sealing here.
From the antebellum brick of the Historic District to the planned communities of Landfall, Mayfaire, and Forest Hills, the constants are the same: humidity, salt, sun, and storms. Our job is to bring back what's already in place and add years of life without replacement. Wilmington's housing mix is unusually wide. The Downtown Historic District (one of the largest in the US, with antebellum and Victorian homes) and the post-1980s subdivisions of Landfall and Mayfaire are very different conservation challenges.
Our bio-based concrete sealer penetrates the surface, locks out moisture, and revives the natural look of driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks. Reapply every 3 to 5 years to keep concrete protected at a fraction of replacement cost.
Everything you need to know about concrete sealing for Wilmington homes.
Driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, garage floors, and stamped concrete. Any concrete that is structurally sound is a candidate.
About 3 to 5 years per application, depending on traffic, sun exposure, and how much salt the Wilmington environment sends its way.
It picks up a subtle deeper tone. Not glossy, not wet looking. Just brings back the color the sun has stripped out.
Yes. Bio-based formula, low VOC, no harsh runoff. Kids and pets can be back on the concrete once it has cured (typically same day).
Most Wilmington homeowners benefit from a pre-season service or inspection in May or June, before peak storm activity. Post-storm work in September through November is also smart, especially after a named storm passes through the Cape Fear region. We schedule around the forecast.
