StoneTech of Albany washes and seals concrete surfaces across the Capital Region — driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and stamped concrete. We clean off the years of dirt, stains, and weathering, then apply a protective sealer that locks out moisture and brings the surface back to life. It’s straightforward maintenance that protects an expensive investment and keeps your concrete looking sharp.
Concrete washing and sealing is a two-step process that cleans your concrete surface and then protects it. First, we pressure wash away the dirt, mildew, algae, oil stains, and built-up grime that dull your concrete over time. Then we apply a protective sealer that locks out moisture, resists stains, and brings back color and depth.
At StoneTech of Albany, we offer a range of sealer finishes — from a low-key matte to a wet, glossy look — so you get the result that fits your space.
Concrete takes a beating from weather, foot traffic, and the freeze-thaw cycles we get all winter in the Capital Region. Water gets into the pores, freezes, expands, and cracks the surface from the inside out. Washing and sealing on a regular schedule is the cheapest way to protect a surface that’s expensive to replace. It keeps your concrete looking new and adds years to its life.
Sealer keeps water from soaking into the concrete, which is what causes cracking, spalling, and pitting after a hard Northeast winter. A sealed surface sheds water instead of absorbing it, so it holds up season after season.
Once your concrete is sealed, spills sit on the surface instead of soaking in. Oil, grease, leaf stains, rust, and salt residue wipe up far easier — a big deal for driveways and patios that see a lot of use.
Years of dirt and weathering leave concrete looking gray and tired. A proper wash strips that away, and the sealer brings back the original color and adds a clean finish, from a low-key matte to a wet, glossy look depending on what you want.
Replacing concrete is one of the more expensive projects a homeowner takes on. Washing and sealing on a regular cycle is a fraction of that cost and pushes replacement years down the road. It’s basic maintenance that pays for itself.
Inspection — We look over the surface, note any cracks or damage, and recommend repairs before sealing if they’re needed.
Pressure Washing — We clean the concrete with the right pressure and cleaning solution for the surface, lifting dirt, mildew, algae, and stains.
Dry Time — Concrete has to be fully dry before sealing. We time the job so the surface is ready.
Sealing — We apply a quality sealer suited to your concrete and the finish you’re after, with even coverage edge to edge.
Most concrete surfaces should be resealed every 2 to 3 years, and stamped concrete every other year. Driveways and high-traffic areas may need it more often. We’ll tell you straight what your surface needs — no upselling work that isn’t there.
