Protect Concrete From Stains and Weather Wear
Professional concrete sealant application for driveways, walkways, and pads in Hickory, North Carolina
Unsealed concrete absorbs water, oil, and road salt, and over time those contaminants cause staining, surface pitting, and cracking that weaken the slab from the inside out. In Hickory, seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles make it even easier for moisture to work its way into the pores of the concrete and create damage that is difficult to reverse. Commercial Striping applies a protective sealant that blocks moisture, resists stains, and extends the life of your concrete without changing its appearance dramatically.
The crew preps the surface by cleaning it thoroughly to remove dirt, stains, and any loose material, then applies the sealant in thin, even coats that soak into the concrete and form a barrier against water and chemicals. You will notice a slight sheen once the sealant dries, and the surface will feel smoother and less porous. This service works well for driveways, walkways, garage pads, and small commercial concrete areas that need long-term protection and reduced maintenance.

What Sealing Does to Slow Moisture Damage and Staining
When you book concrete sealing in Hickory with Commercial Striping, the team inspects the surface for cracks, stains, and areas that need repair before applying any sealant. The surface must be clean and dry for the product to bond correctly, so pressure washing is often completed first. You will see the sealant absorb into the concrete and create a uniform finish that repels water and resists oil stains without forming a thick coating that peels or flakes.
After sealing, your concrete will resist moisture penetration and stay cleaner longer because stains sit on the surface rather than soaking in. The sealed surface will also resist freeze-thaw damage more effectively, which helps prevent cracking and surface scaling during winter months. You will notice that rainwater beads up instead of soaking into the concrete, and that dirt and grime rinse away more easily during routine cleaning.
This service does not repair cracks or structural issues, but it does protect concrete that is still in good condition and slow the aging process. All sealing work is backed by a warranty and completed with attention to surface prep, application thickness, and curing time.
