Step 1
Clean And Prep The Surface
We clean the concrete or pavers first so dirt, algae, and staining are removed before any sealer goes down.
Concrete And Paver Sealing In Cincinnati, OH To Protect And Enrich Your Surfaces
Cleaning a driveway or patio is step one. Sealing it is what keeps it that way, protecting the surface from stains, salt, and Cincinnati's freeze-thaw winters.

Cincinnati concrete and pavers take a beating. Summer humidity feeds algae and mildew, winter brings road salt and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and everyday use leaves oil spots, rust, and traffic staining behind.
Sealing a clean surface adds a protective layer that helps resist those stains, slows water and salt from soaking in, and makes future cleaning far easier. On pavers, a joint-stabilizing sealer also helps lock the sand in place and discourages weeds and ants between the stones.
We seal after a thorough cleaning so the protection goes onto a fresh surface, not over trapped grime. The result is concrete and pavers that look richer, shed stains better, and hold up longer against Cincinnati weather.
Why Homeowners Seal Concrete And Pavers
-
Protects Against Stains And Salt
A sealed surface resists oil, rust, and the road salt tracked onto Cincinnati driveways all winter.
-
Stands Up To Freeze-Thaw
Sealing slows water from soaking into concrete, which helps reduce the surface damage our freeze-thaw winters can cause.
-
Locks In Paver Joints
A joint-stabilizing sealer helps hold the joint sand in place and discourages weeds and ants between pavers.
-
Richer Look, Easier Cleaning
Sealing deepens the color of pavers and stamped concrete and makes the surface much easier to keep clean.
Our Concrete And Paver Sealing Process
Step 2
Let It Fully Dry
The surface is given time to dry so the sealer bonds properly instead of trapping moisture underneath.
Step 3
Re-Sand Paver Joints
For pavers, we address the joint sand as needed before applying a joint-stabilizing sealer.
Step 4
Apply And Inspect The Sealer
We apply the appropriate sealer evenly and check coverage for a consistent, protected finish.
Concrete & Paver Sealing FAQs
-
Why should I seal my driveway or patio after cleaning?
Sealing protects the freshly cleaned surface from stains, salt, and water, helps it resist Cincinnati's freeze-thaw winters, and makes future cleaning much easier.
-
Can you seal pavers as well as concrete?
Yes. We seal both poured concrete and pavers. On pavers we can use a joint-stabilizing sealer that helps lock the joint sand and discourage weeds and ants.
-
How often does sealer need to be reapplied?
It depends on the product, the surface, and how much sun and traffic it gets, but resealing every few years is common to maintain protection.
-
Does sealing change how the surface looks?
Many sealers deepen and enrich the color, especially on pavers and stamped concrete. Finishes range from a natural matte to a more visible sheen depending on what you prefer.
"Jason did great work on our home's driveway and front walkway. I didn't even notice just how dark some spots had gotten, especially our front steps, until he pressure washed them. I was amazed at the before and after! They look so much better now!"
"Jason replied promptly with a competitive estimate immediately after I reached out to him. He was able to fit me in his schedule the next day. He did a great job cleaning the dirt and algae off my brick patio. I will reach out to him with future needs and highly recommend him."
"Jason did a great job with the pressure washing of my house. He first contacted me about a month ago. (I think I had clicked Angi's List or something similar.) But anyway, when he first called me, I told him I work in taxation and would not have time to think about projects until after tax season was over, and to call me after April 17. And... unlike just about every other service provider - who would call me daily... Jason called me on April 18. And we went back and forth for a few days - mostly me asking questions... until we agreed he would pressure wash the house, patio, and driveway. And then he was available within that week! And stayed a bit longer to be sure everything was done right. Plus... he's the OWNER and started the business himself - not just someone who bought a franchise. (which is important to me - I like to support local business, even more so if it's an entrepreneur and not a franchisee.) And every time I pull into my driveway, I smile"
"We had a great experience with Jason at Clear Exterior! Scheduling was easy, and he did a thorough and professional job at an affordable price. He got our siding and our concrete looking fresh again. Highly recommended if you need some pressure washing done!"
