This will give you an in-depth understanding of the process and help you decide what’s best for you—DIY patio sealing or professional patio sealing. Are you excited? Great, because we’re about to leap into it!
Why Invest in Patio Sealing?
You may be curious what the point of sealing is or what “sealing” even is. Why do patios need to be protected if they are already made of durable materials such as concrete, asphalt, or pavers? The answer is that everything takes damage over time. This is because of external factors such as the weather and surface debris accumulating. Rain and other forms of precipitation can cause moisture damage, and unwanted debris such as dirt, mud, and pollen can erode surfaces. It’s an inevitable process, but fortunately, you can delay it for as long as possible with patio sealing.
Patio sealing was invented to protect patios from damage and increase their lifespans. The process involves applying a thin layer of liquid sealer to the patio. Then, this sealer dries, transforming into a transparent barrier that protects the surface from damage. This helps property owners avoid patio surface damage, and in turn, expensive repairs that can leave a wallet begging for mercy.
Pressure Washing Patios Before Sealing
Before sealing patios, it is important to pressure wash them. This is because patios are constantly accumulating debris, which is something that we touched on earlier. In fact, by the time you’ve decided to seal your patio, there’s a good chance that it will be coated with various forms of unwanted grime. Why should you pressure wash it away before sealing? For one, debris makes it difficult to evenly apply sealer to a surface. Uneven application can cause sealer to flake and peel later, meaning it will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. Additionally, by sealing an unwashed patio, you are sealing in all its debris, too.
Ensure that your patio looks its best—and stays that way—by pressure washing it before sealing it. The process of pressure washing a patio is not terribly difficult. First, clear the area by relocating furniture, decorations, and other items. Then, prepare a pressure washer and select an appropriate amount of water pressure for the job. Finally, spray the surface in a row-by-row pattern, washing away all debris and restoring cleanliness.

How Patio Sealing Companies Do Sealing
With the patio newly cleaned, it is time to advance to the patio sealing process. While you are certainly welcome to do this work on your own, it is highly recommended that you schedule professional services with Jay’s Pressure LLC. This is because incorrect patio sealing can be disastrous, resulting in an uneven layer of sealer, a hazardous slippery surface, and wasted time and money. At Jay’s Pressure LLC, we have successfully sealed many patios, driveways, and walkways, and we are ready to put this experience to the test during your appointment.
First things first, we will confirm that your patio is clear of items and completely dry. Then, we will brush a thin layer of liquid sealer onto the patio. We will ensure the most even layer possible, and we will use drop cloths or tarps to shield any nearby areas, preventing them from becoming splattered or collecting drips. With that, the only thing left to do is wait one to two days for the sealer to dry. Once this time has passed, the sealer will be solid and ready to shield your patio from damage for years to come.
When to Consider Patio Resealing
Earlier in this blog, we stated that everything takes damage over time. Well, unfortunately, this also includes patio sealer. As it protects patios from harm, the sealer is slowly worn away, and eventually, it will need to be repaired. Fortunately, this is only necessary every three to five years. However, if maintenance is needed, and that need is ignored, the patio could pay the price. After all, an incomplete layer of sealer will leave the patio exposed, so it’s a very real possibility that it will start taking damage.
When replacing an aged layer of sealer, it is important to remove it completely before applying the new sealer. Otherwise, the old sealer will cause the new sealer to distribute unevenly across the surface. Leave this work to Jay’s Pressure LLC for the best results. We have resealed many patios and are prepared to extend your patio’s lifespan to its maximum potential.
