Concrete Sealing
in Dacula, GA

Concrete is one of the most durable surfaces you can have on your property, but it's not indestructible. Without a protective sealant, concrete absorbs water, oil, and other contaminants that break it down from the inside out. Cracks form, stains set in, and surfaces that once looked clean and solid start looking worn and neglected. In Georgia's climate - with heavy rain, intense UV, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter - unsealed concrete deteriorates faster than most homeowners realize.

At Kidd's ProWash, concrete sealing is a full-service process. We don't just roll sealant over a dirty surface and call it done. We pressure wash the concrete first, let it dry completely, and then apply a professional-grade sealant that penetrates the surface and creates a lasting barrier against moisture, stains, and UV damage. We've been doing this for homeowners and businesses across Dacula, Lawrenceville, Buford, and all of Gwinnett County for five years, and properly sealed concrete lasts years longer than concrete that's left unprotected.

Concrete sealing is the process of applying a protective coating to the surface of cured concrete. The sealant soaks into the pores of the concrete and forms a barrier that blocks water, oil, chemicals, and other contaminants from penetrating the surface. Think of it like waterproofing a deck - the concrete still looks the same, but it's now protected against the elements that cause damage over time.

There are different types of concrete sealants, and the right one depends on the surface and the goal. Penetrating sealers soak into the concrete and protect from the inside without changing the appearance. Film-forming sealers sit on top and can add a wet-look sheen or a matte finish while providing surface-level protection. We use professional-grade products that outlast consumer sealants from the hardware store by a wide margin.

Concrete sealing is not the same as concrete cleaning. Cleaning removes the dirt, stains, mold, and buildup from the surface. Sealing protects the clean surface from future damage. The two go hand in hand - you should always clean concrete before sealing it - but they're separate services that address different problems.

Concrete looks rock-solid, but it's actually porous. Microscopic pores and capillaries run throughout the surface, and they absorb whatever sits on top - water, oil, tree sap, fertilizer, you name it. In Gwinnett County, the combination of weather conditions and environmental factors makes unsealed concrete especially vulnerable:

Spalling and surface deterioration. Over years of exposure, unsealed concrete begins to flake and chip on the surface - a process called spalling. Once spalling starts, it accelerates quickly because the freshly exposed concrete underneath is even more vulnerable. Sealing prevents this cycle from ever starting.

A sealant is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Applying sealant over dirty, stained, or damp concrete leads to adhesion failure, bubbling, white haze, and peeling - all problems we see regularly from DIY attempts and cut-rate contractors. Here's exactly how we do it right:

We seal every type of concrete surface found on residential and commercial properties in Dacula and throughout Gwinnett County. Different surfaces have different exposure levels and traffic patterns, so we adjust our approach accordingly:

Not all concrete sealants are the same. The right choice depends on the surface, the traffic level, and the look you want. We use two main categories of professional-grade sealants:

Concrete deterioration happens gradually, so most people don't notice until the damage is significant. Here are the signs that your concrete is overdue for protection:

A quick test: pour a small amount of water on your concrete. If it soaks in and darkens the surface within a few seconds, the concrete is unprotected and absorbing everything that lands on it. If the water beads up and sits on top, the sealant is still working. Most sealants in Georgia's climate need to be reapplied every two to three years to maintain protection.

Sealing is one of the most cost-effective things you can do for your concrete. The cost of sealing is a fraction of what it would take to tear out and replace cracked, stained, or deteriorated concrete. Regular sealing every two to three years keeps your surfaces looking good and performing well indefinitely.

Concrete should always be cleaned before it's sealed - there's no way around it. Sealing over dirt, mold, or stains traps those contaminants under the sealant and leads to discoloration, adhesion failure, and a result that looks worse than doing nothing. That's why concrete cleaning and concrete sealing go hand in hand.

When you schedule both services together, we handle the cleaning and sealing as one coordinated project. Day one is the pressure wash and stain treatment. After 24 to 48 hours of drying time, we come back for day two and apply the sealant. It's the most efficient and cost-effective way to get both done, and you get the best possible result because the timing is properly managed.

If you have a driveway that connects to a patio or walkway, sealing the whole system at once ensures consistent protection and appearance across all your concrete surfaces. And if you have pavers on the property too, we offer paver sealing using the same quality approach.

Chase Kidd started Kidd's ProWash five years ago right here in Dacula. He grew up around construction and knows concrete - how it's poured, how it cures, how it ages, and what it takes to protect it properly. Before starting this company, he worked as a software engineer at GM, which gave him a detail-oriented, process-driven approach that shows up in every job we do.

Concrete sealing is one of those services where doing it wrong causes more problems than not doing it at all. Cheap sealant peels. Applying over damp concrete causes white haze. Uneven coverage creates patchy spots that look terrible. We don't cut any of those corners. Every step in our process exists because skipping it leads to failure.

Our motto is "people over profits," and you'll see that from the first phone call. We show up when we say we will, we give honest pricing, and we don't leave until the job is done right. We serve Dacula, Lawrenceville, Buford, Auburn, Grayson, Suwanee, Duluth, and Snellville. If you live in Gwinnett County, we can get to you.
