How Often Should Stamped Concrete Be Sealed?

Sealer is the shield on a stamped surface. It wears away, so knowing when to renew it matters.

What Affects the Schedule

Sun exposure, foot and vehicle traffic, water and the type of sealer all matter. A south-facing patio or a pool deck may need attention sooner than a shaded walk.

Many surfaces are resealed every few years.

Signs It Is Time

The surface looks dull or chalky, water soaks in instead of beading and color looks faded. Peeling or cloudy sealer is another sign.

A quick water test shows how well the sealer is working.

Doing It Right

The surface should be clean and dry, and the right sealer should be applied in thin, even coats. Too much sealer can turn cloudy.
