Protect Your
Concrete
Your concrete takes a beating from Michigan weather, road salt, and daily use. Our concrete protection service — power washing, crack sealing, and professional surface sealing — stops damage before it starts and extends the life of your investment by years.
What Your Concrete Is Up Against
Concrete is porous — without protection, Michigan weather accelerates deterioration
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Water penetrates the surface, freezes, expands, and cracks the concrete from within. Michigan sees dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter.
Road Salt & Deicers
Salt and chemical deicers break down the concrete matrix from within, causing spalling and surface scaling.
UV Exposure
Sunlight fades and degrades unprotected concrete over time, especially colored or stamped surfaces.
Water & Stain Penetration
Oil, grease, and water soak into unsealed concrete causing permanent stains and sub-base erosion.
Why Concrete Protection Matters
Concrete is one of the most durable building materials available, but it is not indestructible. Without proper protection, water seeps into the porous surface, saturates the sub-base, and accelerates freeze-thaw damage. Road salt and deicing chemicals compound the problem by chemically breaking down the concrete matrix from within. The result is spalling, scaling, cracking, and premature deterioration that leads to expensive replacement.
Our concrete protection service addresses the problem at every level. We start with a thorough power wash to remove dirt, debris, mold, and surface contaminants. Then we seal every crack to prevent water infiltration. Finally, we apply a professional-grade surface sealer that creates a protective barrier against water, salt, chemicals, and UV damage.
This three-step approach is the most cost-effective maintenance you can do for your concrete. It is far cheaper than replacement and adds years of life to your driveways, patios, walkways, and garage floors.

Our Protection Process
A proven three-step approach for lasting concrete protection
Power Wash
We thoroughly power wash the entire surface to remove dirt, debris, mold, mildew, oil stains, and any contaminants. Clean concrete is essential — sealers will not bond properly to a dirty surface. This step alone can dramatically improve the appearance of weathered concrete.
Crack Sealing
Every crack is filled and sealed with professional-grade crack filler. This prevents water from entering the sub-base where it causes the most damage during freeze-thaw cycles. Sealing cracks early stops small problems from becoming expensive replacements.
Surface Sealer Application
A professional-grade concrete sealer is applied evenly across the entire surface. This creates a protective barrier that repels water, resists salt and chemical damage, and guards against UV fading. The sealer is Michigan-rated for freeze-thaw resistance.
Signs Your Concrete Needs Protection
Water soaks into the surface instead of beading on top
Visible cracks that are getting wider or longer over time
Surface scaling or flaking from freeze-thaw damage
Discoloration from oil, salt, or chemical exposure
New concrete that has cured and needs its first protective coat
Faded or weathered appearance from years of UV exposure
FreshCoat
Color Matching
Years of repairs, patches, and weathering leave concrete surfaces looking uneven and discolored. Our FreshCoat Color Matching service recolors your concrete surfaces, masking years of repairs and discoloration with a uniform, fresh appearance.
FreshCoat uses a specialized spray-on concrete formula that penetrates and bonds directly into your existing concrete surface. Unlike paint or topical coatings that sit on top and eventually peel, this formula becomes part of the concrete itself — creating a seamless, natural-looking finish that will not peel or blister.
The result is concrete that looks like it was poured yesterday — uniform color, no visible patches, no mismatched repair marks. It is the most effective way to restore the appearance of aging concrete without the cost of full replacement.
FreshCoat Works On:
Driveways with visible repair patches and color mismatches
Patios that have faded unevenly over the years
Walkways and sidewalks with discoloration from age and weather
Pool decks that need a uniform, refreshed appearance
Garage floors with stains and wear patterns
Penetrates & Bonds
Not a paint or topical coating. The formula penetrates into the concrete and bonds at a molecular level, becoming part of the surface itself.
Won't Peel or Blister
Because it bonds into the concrete rather than sitting on top, FreshCoat will not peel, blister, or flake — even under Michigan's harsh freeze-thaw conditions.
Color Customization
Available in a range of natural concrete tones. Match your existing color or choose a new shade to refresh the entire surface.
Proven Durability
This formula has been trusted for over 30 years by commercial operators, national builders, and professional contractors for concrete restoration.
Complete Coverage
Applied to the entire surface for uniform color. Masks all repairs, patches, discoloration, and weathering for a consistent, like-new finish.
The FreshCoat Process
FreshCoat Color Matching is applied as part of our full concrete protection service
Power Wash
Thorough cleaning removes all dirt, stains, and contaminants to prepare the surface for bonding.
Crack Sealing
All cracks are filled and sealed to create a smooth, uniform base for the color coat.
FreshCoat Application
Specialized spray-on concrete formula is applied evenly across the entire surface, penetrating and bonding into the concrete.
Protective Sealer
A final surface sealer is applied to protect both the original concrete and the new FreshCoat finish.

Concrete Protection FAQ
How often should concrete be resealed?
Every 2-3 years for most residential applications. High-traffic areas or heavy salt exposure may benefit from more frequent resealing.
What is FreshCoat Color Matching?
FreshCoat is a specialized spray-on concrete formula that penetrates and bonds into your existing concrete surface. It recolors the entire surface to a uniform shade, masking years of repairs, patches, and discoloration. Unlike paint, it will not peel or blister.
Is FreshCoat the same as painting concrete?
No. Paint sits on top of concrete and eventually peels. FreshCoat penetrates into the concrete and bonds at a molecular level, becoming part of the surface itself. It creates a natural concrete appearance, not a painted look.
Can you seal concrete with existing cracks?
Yes — in fact, sealing cracks is a critical part of our process. We fill and seal all cracks before applying the surface sealer to prevent water from entering the sub-base.
How long does the sealer take to cure?
Dry to the touch within 4-6 hours, fully cured within 24 hours. Keep vehicles off sealed driveways for 48 hours.
Can FreshCoat be applied to any concrete surface?
FreshCoat works on driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and garage floors. We assess the condition of your concrete during the consultation to confirm it is a good candidate.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Up to 12 months same-as-cash and longer-term plans.
