Concrete Sealing

Q: How to seal a concrete driveway?

Sealing a concrete driveway involves cleaning the surface, removing stains and debris, and applying a penetrating water-based sealer like Prime Protect SWR. For Northern Florida driveways, including those in Jacksonville and Gainesville, this protection safeguards against moisture, salt, and weather damage while maintaining a natural appearance.

Q: What is the average cost to seal concrete?

The cost of concrete sealing can vary depending on the surface's size and condition. At LUX, we provide free estimates for homeowners in Ocala, St. Augustine, and Palm Coast to ensure you get a solution tailored to your property without overpaying.

Q: Does concrete really need to be sealed?

Yes, concrete sealing is essential in Florida. The high humidity, heavy rains, and coastal salt exposure can damage unsealed surfaces over time, leading to cracks, spalling, and deterioration. Sealing helps extend the life of your driveway, patio, or sidewalk.

Q: Can I seal my concrete myself?

While DIY sealing is possible, LUX recommends professional application for optimal results. Our team ensures even coverage with Prime Protect SWR and identifies underlying issues like cracks or moisture intrusion before sealing, especially in areas like Jacksonville or Palm Coast.

Q: What happens if concrete isn't sealed?

Unsealed concrete is vulnerable to water damage, salt erosion, and UV exposure. In Northern Florida, this can lead to surface cracking, staining, and reduced structural integrity. Professional sealing prevents these issues and preserves both safety and appearance.

Q: Can you seal an old concrete driveway in Jacksonville

Yes. Even older driveways in Jacksonville can be sealed once properly cleaned and prepped. Professional sealing restores surface protection, prevents new stains, and extends the driveway’s usable life against Florida’s heavy rains and sandy soils.

Q: How to tell if concrete needs to be sealed in Gainesville?

A simple water test shows if sealing is needed: pour water on the surface — if it soaks in rather than beading, the concrete is unprotected. Gainesville’s rain and humidity make regular sealing especially important for sidewalks and patios. Our LUX team will inspect the concrete area to recommend the right solution.

Q: How often should you seal your concrete in Ocala?

Most concrete in Ocala should be resealed every 3–5 years, but high-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to heavy rain may need sealing sooner. Regular inspections ensure your concrete continues to resist water and stains effectively. LUX experts provide guidance for residential and commercial properties in Ocala and the surrounding areas to maintain long-lasting protection.

Q: Do you offer financing for concrete sealing in Florida?

LUX offers flexible financing options for homeowners in Northern Florida who want to protect their concrete without upfront costs. Contact our team to learn about payment plans available in Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and surrounding communities.

Q: Can concrete sealing protect against coastal salt damage in Palm Coast?

Yes, sealing with Prime Protect SWR provides a breathable water and chloride barrier that protects concrete from salt exposure, making it ideal for coastal homes in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and Palm Coast.

Protect Concrete Surfaces from Water, Salt, and Weather Damage

Concrete sealing creates a protective barrier against water, salt, and stains that damage driveways, patios, and pool decks. In Northern Florida’s humid, coastal climate, sealing is essential to extend surface life, improve safety, and enhance curb appeal for years to come.

What is Concrete Sealing?

Concrete sealing is the process of protecting your concrete surfaces from water penetration, chloride damage, and the harsh effects of Florida’s weather. Over time, moisture, heavy rain, and UV exposure can cause concrete to crack, stain, and deteriorate. Proper sealing preserves the structural integrity and appearance of driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other concrete surfaces.

At LUX Foundation Solutions, we use Prime Protect SWR, a professional-grade, water-based penetrating sealer that soaks deep into the surface instead of leaving a slick film. This breathable formula blocks water and chlorides while preserving the natural look of your concrete. Unlike DIY sealers that peel or fade, Prime Protect SWR offers long-term durability, weather resistance, and eco-friendly compliance — making it ideal for Florida’s demanding climate.

Whether you’re protecting a driveway in Jacksonville, a sidewalk in St. Augustine, or a pool deck in Palm Coast, our expert sealing solutions keep your concrete surfaces strong, attractive, and resilient for years to come.

Is Sealing Concrete Necessary in Florida

Concrete may look solid, but it’s naturally porous — and in Florida’s humid, storm-prone climate, unsealed surfaces quickly absorb water, salt, and stains. That’s why sealing is essential for protecting driveways, patios, sidewalks, and pool decks from costly, preventable damage.

Here’s why concrete sealing is particularly important in Florida:

Prevents water intrusion that leads to mold, mildew, and surface damage.
Protects the surface against salty air and humidity, especially in coastal cities like Palm Coast and St. Augustine.
Extends the life of concrete surfaces several times compared to unsealed slabs.
Shields driveways, patios, and pool decks from stains caused by oil, rust, and lawn and pool chemicals.
Provides UV resistance to reduce fading, discoloration, and surface weakening.
Enhances curb appeal while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

With LUX Foundation Solutions, sealing isn’t just a quick fix — it’s a proven way to keep your Florida concrete strong, safe, and beautiful for years. Schedule your free estimate today and protect your investment with professional concrete sealing.

Signs You May Need Concrete Sealing

Not all cracks or surface wear mean you need a full repair — sometimes, concrete just needs protection before bigger problems develop. In Florida’s humid, storm-prone climate, sealing is an affordable way to preserve your surfaces and prevent costly future damage.

Here are the signs to tell if your concrete needs to be sealed in Northern Florida:

Concrete shows water pooling or dark spots after rainfall.
Efflorescence, or white salt deposits, appears on surfaces.
Uneven color or surface chalking indicates wear.
Faded or discolored concrete from sun and rain exposure.
Surface stains from oil, salt, or rust that are difficult to remove.
Minor hairline cracks starting to appear on driveways or patios.
Pool decks or sidewalks feel rough, chalky, or porous.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs around your home in Jacksonville, Ocala, Gainesville, Palm Coast, or St. Augustine, schedule a free assessment and estimate with LUX to see if sealing is the right solution.

Why Does Concrete Surface Damage Occur in Florida?

Concrete is tough, but Florida’s climate makes it vulnerable to surface wear long before structural cracks appear. Without sealing, common environmental factors can shorten the life of your driveways, patios, and sidewalks.

Here are some key causes of concrete surface deterioration:

Constant rain and humidity allow moisture to seep deep into porous concrete.
Intense UV exposure fades color and weakens surface strength over time.
Salty air in coastal areas accelerates chloride damage and surface breakdown.
Oil, rust, and chemical spills leave stains that absorb without protection.
Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles expand trapped water, causing flaking and scaling of the surface.

Concrete sealing creates a protective barrier against these damaging factors, ensuring your surfaces remain durable, attractive, and easier to maintain in Florida’s climate.

How to Seal Concrete in Florida

At LUX Foundation Solutions, we follow a proven process to ensure every concrete surface is sealed for maximum protection and long-term performance. Our expert crews combine professional-grade sealants with precise installation methods tailored to Florida’s unique soils, climate, and coastal conditions.

1. Assessment & Inspection

Our experts start with a thorough inspection of your concrete surfaces to identify cracks, spalling, water damage, or areas prone to erosion. This assessment ensures that driveways, patios, sidewalks, and ramps in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville, Ocala, and Palm Coast receive tailored protection based on their condition and exposure to Florida’s unique weather challenges.

2. Surface Cleaning & Preparation

Before sealing, we remove dirt, debris, oils, and contaminants that could compromise adhesion. Using professional cleaning techniques, we ensure the surface is clean, dry, and ready for maximum penetration of Prime Protect SWR, providing a long-lasting, invisible protective layer for your concrete.

3. Crack Repair (If Needed)

Any cracks, chips, or surface imperfections are addressed using Polyflex or other high-quality sealants. Repairing damaged areas before sealing prevents further deterioration, protects against water infiltration, and ensures the final seal is uniform and fully effective. Proper crack repair is essential for Florida homes, where heavy rains and clay soils can worsen surface damage.

4. Prime Protect SWR Sealer Application

We apply Prime Protect SWR, a siloxane/silane sealer designed for long-term durability. Its chloride resistance, eco-friendly compliance, and ability to withstand Florida’s rain, UV exposure, and salt air make it ideal for coastal and inland properties alike. Its low VOC formulation ensures an eco-friendly, safe application for your family and pets.

5. Quality Assurance Check

After application, our team inspects the treated areas to ensure complete coverage and optimal results. This step guarantees that every inch of your concrete is properly sealed, providing long-term protection against Florida’s intense sun, heavy rains, and seasonal temperature changes.

6. Final Touch & Maintenance Tips

We finish the project with guidance for maintaining your sealed concrete, including cleaning tips, frequency of resealing, and monitoring for potential wear.

Our proactive maintenance advice helps homeowners in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville, Ocala, and Palm Coast extend the lifespan of their concrete and maximize the benefits of Prime Protect SWR.
