Sealing Concrete or Masonry Surfaces:

Step #1: Clean the Surface. If needed, clean the surface with a concrete etcher/degreaser, being sure to follow the instructions on the container.

Step #2: Stain the Surface. Allow the surface to dry after cleaning. If desired stain the surface with a stain made especially for concrete using a brush and roller.

Concrete and masonry surfaces are great because they are so durable; but if you really want to keep them looking good, they need to be sealed.

Stucco, bricks, pavers, and concrete can all benefit from the protection of a waterproofing sealer. Surfaces that repel water are less likely to grow mold or mildew and are easier to keep clean.

Whether you choose a simple sealer or a glossy finish to enhance the surface color, your work will look better for longer.
