What an Existing Patio Sealer Changes About Your Quote
A patio that's been sealed before isn't a blank slate. The old coating affects how it's cleaned and whether new sealer will bond.
How to tell
Sealed surfaces often have a slight sheen, darker color or water that beads up. Peeling, flaking or white haze usually means an old coat is failing.
Why it matters
A failing coat may need removing before resealing. A sound coat may only need cleaning and a refresh. Those are very different amounts of work.
What to share
The product name or type if you know it, roughly when it went on, and close photos of any peeling or haze.
What you can try yourself
- Sprinkle water: if it beads, some sealer is still there
- Check the builder or previous owner's paperwork for product names
When to call a professional
Send close photos of your patio and we'll tell you whether it needs a clean, a refresh or a strip and reseal. See our paver sealing service.
What customers say
"I used First Class Pressure Cleaning to seal my aggregate driveway and they did a fantastic job. It was in rough shape as we had never sealed it before. Lots of salt damage as well from trying to de-ice the last winter storm. It looks so much better now. They even came back the next day for touch-ups on some areas where the winter salts had worn through to the concrete. Very happy with this company and the work they’ve done!"

"Great job done by Wally & crew for 1st Class Power wash. Front & Back porches along with large patio and lots of stairs. Furniture and planters moved and replaced. Sealant added to protect patio. Will use again!"

"Highly recommend! Andrew and his team were great at communicating and worked around rainy weather days to clean and seal our stamped concrete around the pool to ensure the product would successfully seal it. They were on time, friendly, and their communication throughout the process was amazing!"
