Concrete Sealing in Ocean Ridge, FL
Floors That Actually Last Years
Hear from Our Customers
Professional Concrete Sealing Services
Your concrete stops absorbing stains, oils, and moisture that make it look terrible. You’re not scrubbing floors every week or explaining to customers why your space looks worn down.
The surface becomes easy to clean with just a mop and basic cleaner. No more expensive specialty products or hours of deep cleaning to get mediocre results.
You get floors that can handle whatever your business throws at them – heavy equipment, foot traffic, spills, temperature changes. They look professional for years, not months.
Ocean Ridge Flooring Contractors
We’ve been protecting concrete floors across South Florida for years, including right here in Ocean Ridge. We’re veteran-owned, which means we take our word seriously.
When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we’re there Tuesday morning. When we give you a timeline, we stick to it because we know your business can’t afford delays.
Ocean Ridge businesses need contractors who understand the coastal environment – the humidity, salt air, and temperature swings that can destroy poorly sealed concrete. We’ve seen what works here and what doesn’t.
Concrete Sealing Process
First, we prep your concrete properly. That means shot-blasting, diamond grinding, or scarifying to remove any existing coatings, stains, or surface damage. Most contractors skip this step or do it halfway.
Next, we repair any cracks, holes, or imperfections in your slab. Your concrete becomes our canvas, and we make sure it’s perfect before we apply anything on top.
Then we apply your sealing system. The specific products depend on your space – what kind of traffic it sees, what chemicals it’s exposed to, how it needs to look. We’re not using one-size-fits-all solutions here.

Commercial Concrete Protection Solutions
Your concrete sealing includes complete surface preparation, crack repair, and application of commercial-grade sealing products. We use materials from manufacturers like Laticrete, Carboline, and Flowcrete – not hardware store products.
Ocean Ridge’s coastal location means your floors face unique challenges. Salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations can break down inferior sealing systems within months. We use products specifically designed for Florida’s climate.
You get floors ready for foot traffic in 12 hours and full equipment use in 72 hours. We coordinate around your schedule so you’re not shutting down operations for a week.
How long does concrete sealing last in Ocean Ridge’s climate?
With proper application and quality materials, concrete sealing should last 10-15 years in Ocean Ridge. The coastal environment is tough on floors – salt air, humidity, and temperature swings can break down cheap sealing products quickly.
We use commercial-grade sealers designed for Florida’s climate. These products bond chemically with your concrete rather than just sitting on top like paint. That’s why they don’t peel, chip, or fail when the weather changes.
The key is proper surface preparation and using the right product for your specific situation. A warehouse floor needs different protection than a restaurant kitchen or retail space.
What’s the difference between sealing and coating concrete floors?
Sealing penetrates into the concrete to protect it from within, while coating sits on top of the surface. Think of sealing as waterproofing your concrete and coating as adding a protective layer on top.
For most Ocean Ridge commercial spaces, you want both. The sealer prevents moisture and chemicals from soaking into your concrete, which causes staining, cracking, and deterioration. The coating provides additional protection and makes cleaning easier.
We evaluate your specific needs during our consultation. High-traffic areas typically need both sealing and coating, while storage areas might only need sealing. It depends on what your floors face every day.
Can you seal concrete that’s already stained or damaged?
Yes, but we have to repair the damage first. Sealing over stained or cracked concrete just locks in the problems and makes them permanent.
We start by assessing what’s causing the damage. Oil stains, rust, efflorescence, and cracks all require different repair approaches. Sometimes we can grind out surface stains, other times we need to use specialized cleaning products or repair compounds.
The goal is to get your concrete back to a sound, clean condition before we apply any sealing products. This takes longer than slapping sealer over existing problems, but it’s the only way to get results that last.
How much business disruption should I expect during concrete sealing?
Most concrete sealing projects in Ocean Ridge take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on your space size and what needs to be done. You can walk on the floors after 12 hours and move equipment back after 72 hours.
We work around your schedule whenever possible. Many of our commercial clients have us work evenings or weekends to minimize disruption. Restaurants often have us work during their closed days, and warehouses schedule around their shipping schedules.
The key is planning ahead. We’ll walk through your space and discuss your operational needs during our consultation. Then we create a timeline that works for your business, not just our convenience.
Do you warranty your concrete sealing work?
Yes, we provide warranties that are broader in scope and longer in duration than most flooring contractors. The specific warranty depends on the products used and your application, but we stand behind our work.
Our warranties cover both materials and workmanship. If your sealing fails because of something we did wrong or a product defect, we fix it at no cost to you. We’re not going to argue about whether it’s our fault or the manufacturer’s fault.
We can offer these warranties because we use commercial-grade products and we do the work right the first time. We’re not cutting corners on surface prep or using cheap materials that fail in Florida’s climate.
What maintenance do sealed concrete floors require?
Sealed concrete floors are much easier to maintain than untreated concrete. Regular sweeping and mopping with standard cleaners is usually all you need. No more scrubbing stains or using expensive specialty products.
The sealing prevents spills from soaking into your concrete, so cleanup is immediate. Oil, chemicals, and other liquids stay on the surface where you can wipe them up instead of becoming permanent stains.
You should avoid using harsh acids or solvents that can break down the sealing over time. We’ll give you specific maintenance guidelines based on the products we use and what your floors are exposed to in your business.
