Sealer Stripping

What This Service Involves

When an old sealer clouds, flakes, or turns blotchy, applying anything new on top only traps the problem underneath. We use the right chemical strippers and controlled washing to lift the aged coating from concrete, pavers, or wood without gouging the surface. Removing that layer exposes clean substrate that a fresh sealer can actually bond to, which is essential in a climate where poor adhesion quickly fails under moisture. Stripping is the reset that lets a resealing project succeed instead of repeating the same peeling cycle.

Benefits

Removes cloudy, flaking, or discolored old sealer; Exposes clean substrate for proper new adhesion; Prevents trapped moisture and blushing under coatings; Corrects blotchy or uneven prior applications; Sets the stage for a durable, long-lasting reseal

Our Process

1) Identify the existing coating type and test a stripper; 2) Apply and dwell the stripper to break the old sealer's bond; 3) Wash and agitate to lift residue from the surface; 4) Neutralize, rinse, and dry in preparation for recoating

What Affects the Cost

Area to be stripped and the coating's thickness; Type and stubbornness of the existing sealer; Number of stripper applications the job demands; Surface material and its sensitivity to chemicals; Disposal and containment of stripped residue

Best Time of Year

Strip sealer during dry weather so the cleaned surface can dry fully before any new coating goes on.
