At Cates Property Services, we've been providing premium concrete sealing services to Johnson City homeowners and businesses since 1997, helping protect valuable concrete investments from premature aging, staining, and structural damage.
Whether you're maintaining a commercial property downtown, protecting a residential driveway in North Johnson City, or preserving concrete around an ETSU facility, our professional concrete sealing services extend the life of your concrete while enhancing its appearance. Our specialized process and premium materials ensure your Johnson City property remains beautiful and protected throughout all seasons.
Our Comprehensive Concrete Sealing Process in Johnson City
At Cates Property Services, we follow a meticulous, proven process for every Johnson City concrete sealing project:
- Professional Concrete Cleaning - We begin with a thorough cleaning using our professional-grade Mosmatic surface cleaners and specialized concrete cleaning solutions. This essential first step removes embedded dirt, oil stains, and contaminants that would otherwise be sealed into the surface.
- Detailed Surface Preparation - Our team carefully inspects for and addresses any cracks, chips, or damage that should be repaired before sealing to ensure optimal results.
- Premium Sealer Application - We apply top-rated Fox Fire penetrating sealer—the same premium product used on major projects like ETSU facilities. This superior sealer doesn't alter your concrete's color and maintains safe traction even when wet.
- Even Coverage Technique - Our experienced technicians ensure complete, even application across all surfaces for consistent protection and appearance that lasts.
- Quality Control Inspection - We perform a detailed final check to confirm complete coverage and optimal results before considering the job complete.
Benefits of Professional Concrete Sealing for Johnson City Properties
Investing in professional concrete sealing delivers significant advantages for Johnson City property owners:
- Superior Weather Protection - Shields concrete from Johnson City's freeze-thaw cycles that can cause cracking and spalling, particularly important in our region's variable climate.
- Extended Concrete Lifespan - Properly sealed concrete typically lasts decades longer than unsealed surfaces, maximizing your investment.
- Enhanced Appearance - Sealing subtly improves concrete's look while maintaining its natural character—important for both residential and commercial properties.
- Stain Resistance - Prevents oil, grease, and other contaminants from penetrating the surface—especially valuable for driveways, garage floors, and commercial areas.
- Reduced Maintenance - Sealed concrete is significantly easier to clean and requires less frequent maintenance over time.
- Protection Against Road Salt - Critical during Johnson City winters, sealing defends against damage from road salt and ice-melting chemicals commonly used on city streets.
- Mold and Mildew Prevention - Helps prevent growth of mold and mildew on concrete surfaces, particularly important in shaded areas common throughout Johnson City.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Sealing in Johnson City
How does Johnson City's climate affect my concrete surfaces?
Johnson City experiences significant temperature fluctuations and moisture throughout the year. These conditions cause concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracking and deterioration over time. Professional sealing creates a protective barrier against these environmental stresses.
How often should I seal my concrete in Johnson City?
For most Johnson City properties, we recommend resealing concrete driveways and high-traffic areas every 2-3 years. Less trafficked areas may go 3-5 years between applications. Commercial properties with heavy traffic may require more frequent sealing.
What makes your concrete sealing different from DIY products?
The Fox Fire sealer we use is a professional-grade penetrating sealer that bonds with concrete at a molecular level. Unlike surface sealers available at retail stores, it provides superior protection without changing appearance or creating a slippery surface. Additionally, our professional preparation and application methods ensure optimal coverage and longevity.
What's the best time of year for concrete sealing in Johnson City?
While we provide concrete sealing services almost year-round, spring and fall typically offer ideal conditions in Johnson City. We recommend scheduling when temperatures will remain above 50°F for at least 24 hours after application.
Do you seal concrete for commercial properties in Johnson City?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience sealing concrete for commercial properties throughout Johnson City, including work at ETSU, retail centers, and office buildings. We understand the unique requirements of commercial properties and provide scheduling options that minimize disruption to your business.
How long after concrete cleaning should sealing be applied?
We typically recommend allowing your concrete to dry completely for 24-48 hours after cleaning before applying sealer. This ensures optimal adhesion and performance. Our team will schedule your cleaning and sealing appropriately based on weather conditions and your specific needs.
