Expert Concrete Sealing & Protection in Lewisville, TX
For 25+ years, Concrete Contractors of Lewisville has been the trusted authority for concrete sealing and protection throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Our comprehensive sealing services go beyond basic protection. They enhance your concrete's natural beauty while providing superior defense against stains, moisture, chemicals, and wear. Whether you're protecting a new concrete surface or restoring weathered concrete, our advanced sealing technologies deliver results that last.
Concrete sealing is a critical investment in your property's longevity and appearance. Without proper sealing, concrete surfaces are vulnerable to stains from oil, food, and chemicals; moisture penetration causing cracking and deterioration; and surface wear that diminishes both function and aesthetics. Our professional sealing services address these vulnerabilities while enhancing your concrete's natural characteristics.
Why Professional Concrete Sealing Matters
The right sealing system can dramatically extend your concrete's service life and maintain its appearance. Poor sealing can result in:
- Permanent staining from oils, foods, and chemicals
- Moisture penetration causing cracking and spalling
- Accelerated surface wear and deterioration
- Higher long-term maintenance and repair costs
- Reduced property value and curb appeal

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our concrete sealing and protection services in Lewisville, TX
How often should concrete be sealed?
Sealing frequency depends on sealer type, exposure, and traffic. Penetrating sealers typically last 2-5 years, while film-forming sealers may need reapplication every 1-3 years. High-traffic or harsh environments require more frequent sealing. We provide specific recommendations based on your concrete's use and conditions.
Can you seal over existing sealer?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We test compatibility and adhesion of existing sealers. If incompatible or deteriorated, the old sealer must be removed. Proper testing ensures the new sealer will adhere and perform correctly. Never apply new sealer over unknown or failing products.
Will sealing change the appearance of my concrete?
It depends on the sealer type. Penetrating sealers are invisible and don't change appearance. Film-forming sealers can enhance color, add gloss, or provide a wet-look finish. We show samples and can customize the finish to match your preferences while providing the protection you need.
How long does concrete sealer take to dry?
Drying time varies by sealer type and conditions. Most sealers are touch-dry in 1-4 hours and safe for light foot traffic in 4-12 hours. Full cure typically takes 24-72 hours. We consider weather conditions, humidity, and temperature to schedule applications that minimize disruption to your use of the space.
What's the difference between penetrating and film-forming sealers?
Penetrating sealers work inside the concrete pores, providing invisible protection that allows vapor transmission and won't wear off. Film-forming sealers create a surface coating that enhances appearance but may wear over time. We recommend the best type for your specific needs and budget.
Can sealed concrete be stained or decorated?
Sealed concrete can still be stained, but results differ from unsealed concrete. Some sealers enhance staining effects, while others may reduce penetration. For decorative concrete work, we time sealing to complement staining, stamping, or other decorative processes. Proper sequencing ensures optimal results.
