Fast, affordable pressure-wash and color-seal to refresh tired concrete across Austin, TX.
Last Updated:
Our Approach to Clean & Seal
Our quickest, most affordable service: a professional pressure-wash plus a UV-stable color-seal that refreshes tired patios, driveways, and pool decks and locks out moisture and stains. When a full stain or overlay is not needed, clean-and-seal is the fast win - typically completed in 1 to 2 days.
A Fast Fix for Tired Patios and Driveways
Austin Concrete Finishes has offered professional concrete cleaning and sealing across the Austin metro since 2005. Sometimes the slab is structurally fine - it just looks faded, dirty, or worn after years of Central Texas heat and UV exposure. A pressure-wash and color-seal in 1 to 2 days is all it takes to bring a patio, driveway, or pool deck back to life. Homeowners from West Lake Hills to Round Rock and Cedar Park to Lakeway call us when they want a quick refresh without the cost of a full overlay or stain job.
How Pressure-Washing and Sealing Restores Your Slab
The deep pressure-wash strips years of embedded dirt, mold, efflorescence, and surface contamination down to clean concrete. From there, we apply a professional-grade sealer - either a tinted acrylic color-seal for a richer look or a clear penetrating siloxane sealer for invisible protection. Both types guard the surface against moisture intrusion, oil stains, and the UV degradation that 100-degree Austin summers cause. For ranch-style homes with large exposed patios or modern builds with decorative concrete driveways, the Austin Concrete Finishes clean-and-seal service can make the difference between a tired-looking property and sharp curb appeal.
When Resurfacing or Staining Makes More Sense
If the slab has significant cracking from expansive Central Texas clay soils, widespread peeling, or you want a completely new color and texture, you will get more from concrete resurfacing or staining. Austin Concrete Finishes tells you straight on the quote whether clean-and-seal is the right fit or whether your budget goes further with one of those bigger services - no upsell pressure, just honest advice from 21 years in the trade.

Sarah M.

FAQ
Clean & Seal: Your Questions Answered
How much does concrete cleaning and sealing cost in Austin? +
Pricing is project-based and depends on square footage, slab condition, and sealer type. We provide free same-day quotes for most jobs - call (512) 749-8503 or submit a photo online for a fast estimate.
What is the difference between clean-and-seal and concrete staining? +
Clean-and-seal refreshes and protects the existing surface with a clear or tinted sealer. Staining chemically changes the concrete color for a deeper transformation. Clean-and-seal is faster and more budget-friendly; staining delivers a bigger visual change.
How long does a concrete sealer last in Texas heat? +
Exterior sealers typically last 3 to 5 years in Central Texas before needing a reseal (2026 estimate). We use UV-stable acrylic and siloxane sealers rated for 100-degree summers and direct sun exposure.
How long does a concrete cleaning and sealing job take? +
Most Austin-area driveways and patios are completed in 1 to 2 days, including pressure washing, sealer application, and cure time before normal use.
Can you seal a concrete pool deck to make it less slippery? +
Yes. We apply slip-resistant sealers with texture additives to pool decks, which improve grip when wet while still protecting the surface from chlorine, UV, and moisture.
