Why Patio Sealing Is Important
Patio sealing is a practical decision that can prolong the life of your patio and keep it looking fresh. Unsealed patios, especially concrete patios, are prone to harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, that can cause stains, discoloration, and cracking to develop and compromise the structural integrity of your patio. By sealing your patio, you provide a protective layer that prevents water from penetrating the surface. Patio sealing also helps to maintain the colour and texture of your outdoor space.
When Should You Reseal Your Patio?
The frequency of resealing depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the weather conditions in your area, and the amount of foot traffic your patio receives. However, as a general rule, you should consider resealing every two to three years. In Calgary, with its harsh winters, regular resealing is key to maintaining the longevity of your patio. If you notice fading, discoloration, or visible wear on your patio, it might be time for a concrete patio resealing. By addressing these issues early, you can extend the life of your patio, enhance its appearance, and save on costly repairs down the line.

Benefits of Sealing Your Patio
Besides extending the life of your patio, there are many other benefits to regularly sealing your outdoor space. They include:
- Weather Protection – Sealing your patio creates a protective barrier against rain, snow, and UV rays. This helps prevent the surface from cracking, fading, and discoloration due to water or extreme heat.
- Water Damage Prevention – Sealing your patio also helps prevent water from seeping into the material, which can cause it to weaken and crack over time. This is especially important for concrete patios, as water can penetrate the porous surface and cause damage.
- Improved Appearance – A sealed patio not only protects against damage but also enhances its appearance. It gives the patio a glossy finish or natural sheen that can make it look more attractive and inviting.
- Easier Maintenance – Sealed patios are easier to clean and maintain. The protective barrier created by sealing makes it more difficult for dirt, stains, and other debris to penetrate the surface, making it easier to wipe or wash.
How to Clean Concrete Patios
For tough stains on your concrete patio, use a pressure washer on a low setting to avoid surface damage. If needed, combine it with a mild detergent for extra cleaning power.

FAQ: Patio Sealing
Why should you seal your concrete patio?
Sealing your concrete patio can provide a number of benefits. It can help to protect the surface from water damage, which can cause the concrete to crack and erode over time. It also helps to prevent staining from things like oil and other liquids, which can be difficult to remove if not sealed properly. Additionally, sealing the patio can help to preserve the color of the concrete and prevent fading from UV rays. Overall, sealing your patio can help to maintain the appearance of the surface and keep it looking new for longer.
How much does patio sealing in Calgary cost?
The cost of patio sealing in Calgary can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size of the patio and the type of sealer used. Professional patio sealing services may charge by the square foot, but it is often worth the investment to protect and maintain the surface. Request a free quote to find out more about the cost of patio sealing.
How long does a sealing for a patio last?
The lifespan of a patio sealer can vary, but generally, a good quality sealer can last between 2-5 years before it needs to be reapplied. This can be influenced by factors such as the type of sealer used, the climate in which the patio is located, and the amount of foot traffic the surface receives. In some cases, a sealer may need to be reapplied sooner, while in others it may last longer.
What is better: contact a professional or seal your patio yourself?
When it comes to sealing a patio, it is normally advisable to contact a professional for the work. This will ensure that the patio is properly sealed. We have the experience as well as the equipment essential to effectively seal the surface, which may help to guarantee that the job is done correctly and that the sealer will last for as long as it possibly can. You can, however, seal your patio on your own if you are confident in your abilities and have prior experience doing so.
Can you leave your concrete patio without sealing?
If you do not protect your concrete patio, the surface may deteriorate over time as a result of being exposed to the elements, including rain, dirt, and other substances. This can result in the patio becoming cracked, stained, and faded, which not only makes it seem unpleasant but also poses a significant risk to people’s safety. The look of the surface can be preserved and the patio protected against these problems by sealing it.
Can I seal my concrete patio myself?
It is possible for an individual to seal their own concrete patio; however, prior to sealing the entire patio, it is vital to conduct research and practice on a small portion of the patio. To ensure that the surface is correctly sealed, it is important that the correct tools, equipment, and sealer be utilized for the job, and that the directions are followed. It is important to keep in mind that if it is not done correctly, it could result in further damage and end up costing more in the long run.
