Protect Your Concrete From Wear and Weather

Concrete sealing to protect surfaces from moisture and wear in Rochester, Minnesota.

Your concrete surfaces are exposed to rain, snow, de-icing salt, and freeze-thaw cycles that slowly break down the material and cause surface deterioration. In Rochester, where winter conditions are harsh and moisture is constant, sealing your concrete extends its life and keeps it looking clean. Pristine Custom Concrete applies sealers to patios, walkways, and decorative concrete surfaces that need protection from the elements.

Concrete sealing involves surface preparation, cleaning, and application of a liquid sealer that penetrates the concrete and creates a protective barrier against moisture and wear. The sealer improves the appearance of the surface, reduces staining, and slows the deterioration that occurs from repeated freezing and thawing. Sealing is applied after the concrete has fully cured and is repeated every few years depending on exposure and traffic.

How Sealing Changes the Surface

Your concrete is cleaned and dried before sealing begins. In Rochester, this means removing dirt, oil, and any previous coatings that could interfere with adhesion. The sealer is applied evenly across the surface using a sprayer or roller, and the material soaks into the pores of the concrete to form a protective layer.

After sealing, you will notice that water beads on the surface instead of soaking in, and stains from oil or dirt are easier to clean. The concrete will resist surface flaking and pitting caused by freeze-thaw cycles, and the color will remain more consistent over time.

Sealers are available in different finishes, from matte to high gloss, depending on the look you want and the type of surface being treated. The sealer does not repair existing cracks or damage, but it prevents further deterioration and makes the surface easier to maintain. Pristine Custom Concrete applies sealers to residential and commercial concrete throughout the Rochester area, using products suited to Minnesota weather and use conditions.

You Can Ask Before Committing

Homeowners in Rochester who are considering sealing their concrete often ask about timing, reapplication, and whether sealing is necessary for all surfaces. These are reasonable questions that help clarify the value and timing of the service.

When should concrete be sealed?
Sealing should be done after the concrete has fully cured, which typically takes at least 28 days. Applying sealer too early can trap moisture and prevent proper curing, which weakens the surface.
How often does concrete need to be resealed?
Most sealers last two to four years depending on traffic, exposure, and weather conditions. You will know it is time to reseal when water stops beading on the surface and stains become harder to remove.
What does sealing protect against?
Sealing protects concrete from moisture penetration, freeze-thaw damage, salt damage, oil stains, and surface wear. It also makes cleaning easier and helps the surface maintain its appearance over time.
Does sealing change the look of the concrete?
Yes, sealers can darken the concrete slightly and add a sheen depending on the product used. Some sealers are designed to maintain the natural look, while others provide a wet or glossy finish.
Can sealing repair cracked or damaged concrete?
No, sealing does not repair cracks or surface damage. It protects the existing surface from further deterioration, but damaged areas should be repaired before sealing is applied.
