Why Concrete Sealing Matters
Protect, Preserve, And Improve Performance
Concrete is tough, but it is also porous. That porosity allows moisture, oils, de-icing chemicals, dirt, and other contaminants to soak in, which can lead to staining, surface wear, and premature deterioration. A quality sealer forms a protective barrier that reduces absorption and helps your slab resist daily use, weather exposure, and common spills.
Concrete sealing is also a smart way to reduce maintenance. Sealed surfaces are easier to clean, less likely to discolor, and better at resisting abrasion. Whether the concrete is new or existing, sealing can extend service life and keep the surface looking more consistent over time, especially in high-traffic areas like driveways, entryways, and outdoor living spaces.
Choosing The Right Sealer For Your Surface
Different sealers solve different problems, and matching the product to your concrete and goals is critical for results. Penetrating sealers (often silane/siloxane) soak into the concrete to reduce water intrusion while keeping a natural look. They are commonly selected for exterior flatwork when you want protection without changing appearance or adding shine.
Film-forming sealers create a topical layer that can enhance color and add sheen, depending on the product. Acrylics are popular for decorative finishes and can help bring out color, while epoxies and polyurethanes are more common indoors where higher chemical and abrasion resistance is needed. Not Just Concrete evaluates traffic, exposure, finish type, and desired appearance to recommend a sealer that performs well and fits your maintenance expectations.
A Detail-Focused Approach For Reliable Results
A lasting seal starts with the right preparation. We inspect the slab for existing coatings, stains, residue, or moisture concerns, then determine the best cleaning and surface prep method. Proper prep may include deep cleaning, targeted stain treatment, and ensuring the concrete is dry and ready to accept the sealer.
Next, we select an appropriate sealer and application method based on the surface type and performance needs. Even coverage, correct film thickness (for topical products), and clean edges are essential to avoid streaks, roller marks, or uneven sheen. We also plan application around temperature, sunlight, and wind to support a consistent finish.
After sealing, we provide clear guidance for cure times and safe return to use. This includes recommendations for foot traffic, vehicle traffic, cleaning methods, and recoat intervals when applicable. Our goal is not only a great initial result, but also a sealed surface that continues to perform well with sensible upkeep.

Concrete Sealing In Santa Fe
Local Service With Practical Guidance
Not Just Concrete provides concrete sealing in Santa Fe for driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and other residential and light commercial surfaces. We account for outdoor exposure, daily wear, and the kind of use your slab actually gets so the sealer choice and application method align with real-world conditions.
In Santa Fe, sealed concrete helps reduce common issues like water intrusion, surface staining from outdoor use, and gradual wear from traffic and grit. Sealing can also support a cleaner look by limiting how deeply contaminants soak into the concrete, making routine washing more effective and reducing the chance of long-term discoloration.
If you are unsure whether your concrete needs resealing, look for signs such as darkening from absorbed water, frequent staining, increased surface dusting, or a finish that looks patchy compared to surrounding areas. Not Just Concrete can assess your concrete in Santa Fe, explain the best options, and outline a plan that balances durability, appearance, and maintenance.
