Paver and concrete sealing in Columbia, SC
Soda City is the name this city gives itself on Saturday mornings on Main Street, and it is where our truck lives. A driveway that has just been cleaned is the easiest thing in the world to keep clean, for about a month. Then the pores open back up and, with humid summers and the two rivers meeting downtown, the green moves back in. A sealer closes them, so stains sit on top and the next clean is a rinse rather than a job. We cover Shandon, Rosewood, Earlewood and everything between.
Included in every paver and concrete sealing job
Cleaning is part of the job. Sealer goes on clean, dry, re-sanded pavers or clean concrete, never over dirt.
- Cleaned first, the same surface clean we do on its own, so the sealer bonds to the surface and not to a layer of grime.
- Dried properly. Sealer over damp concrete turns cloudy. We wait for the surface to dry, usually a day or two after the clean.
- Pavers re-sanded and the sand locked in by the sealer, so joints stay tight and weeds and ants stay out.
- Even coats applied with a sprayer and back-rolled where the surface needs it, edges cut in by hand.
- Finish to suit. A natural look that leaves the surface as it is, or a wet look that deepens the color. You choose before we start.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
Why sealing pays off in Columbia
Sealer does two things on short concrete drives and front walks. It stops liquids soaking in, so oil, rust and leaf stains sit on the surface where a rinse takes them off, and it slows the algae and mildew that need a damp, open pore to grow.
It is not for every surface. Old, flaking concrete and pavers that have already been sealed with something unknown need a look before we promise anything, and a sealer will not hide cracks or stains that are already soaked in. We tell you which surfaces are worth sealing and which are not when we quote the job.
Plan on re-sealing every two to three years. Full sun and vehicle traffic wear it faster. A shaded patio under the oaks over Shandon, Rosewood and the older streets near the university goes slower.

- Short concrete drives and front walks: cleaned first, dried for a day or two, then sealed.

- Finish: natural or wet look, chosen before we start. Non-slip additive on steps and pool decks.
- Cars off a sealed drive for 24 hours. Re-seal every two to three years.

Questions we get asked
Will sealing make the driveway slippery?
A wet-look sealer can, on a smooth surface. We use a non-slip additive on pool decks, steps and anywhere a wet-look finish would be a risk, and say so on the quote.
How soon after cleaning can a Columbia driveway be sealed?
A day or two of dry weather, longer after rain. With humid summers and the two rivers meeting downtown we check the surface is properly dry before the sealer goes on.
