Concrete Sealing.Cleaning and sealing sound concrete, which is often the right answer instead of a tear out.
OnCall cleans and seals existing concrete as a standalone service. A patio that is structurally sound but dull and porous usually needs sealing, not replacement.
Ask this before you accept a tear out quote
Freeze and thaw is what damages concrete in central Indiana. Water enters the surface, freezes, expands and lifts the top layer away. Sealing is the defense, and a slab that is still sound but looking tired is frequently a cleaning and sealing job rather than a replacement.
It is worth having somebody say that out loud before you accept a quote to remove it.
On a cycle, not once
Sealer wears. How often it needs redoing depends on exposure, traffic and which sealer is on there now, and you will get a real answer for your slab rather than a generic interval.
Which sealer, and why it matters
Film forming and penetrating sealers do different jobs. A film forming sealer gives the wet look and the color pop on stamped work and needs redoing more often. A penetrating sealer protects without changing the appearance much and lasts longer.
What is already on your slab dictates what can go on next. Putting the wrong product over an existing sealer is how patios end up cloudy or peeling, and it is worth ten minutes of looking before anybody quotes.
How concrete sealing gets quoted
Concrete Sealing is measured on site. Grade, access, existing conditions and the things behind the walls all change the number, and none of them are visible in a photograph. OnCall walks the space, works through the design decisions with you, takes the dimensions and sends a detailed written bid rather than a range.
You review the quote with us: the scope, materials, pricing, options and anything that may be different from another bid, so you know exactly what you are comparing. A signature and a deposit put the work on the calendar. If something is found once a wall or the ground is open, it is priced and agreed before it is built rather than appearing at the end.

Frequently asked questions.
Can you seal a patio you did not pour?
Yes, that is most of this work.
Will sealing fix spalling?
No. Sealing prevents it. Once the surface has lifted, that is a different conversation and you will get a straight one.
Need concrete sealing?
Photos and a short description are usually enough to get a real number back.
