Protect and restore your outdoor concrete with professional cleaning and sealing

Our concrete cleaning and sealing services create a protective barrier that resists water, UV rays, chemicals, and stains — keeping your outdoor concrete looking new for years.

Concrete’s durability makes it popular for outdoor surfaces, but without maintenance it deteriorates. Unsealed, concrete absorbs moisture, leading to cracks from freeze-thaw cycles. It is also prone to stains from oil, dirt, and organic growth, which are hard to remove. UV exposure causes fading, dulling its appearance. Uncleaned concrete becomes slippery, posing a safety hazard.

We meticulously clean to restore appearance, then apply a high-quality sealer. That barrier prevents water absorption and cracking, protects against UV fading, and resists stains, making future cleaning easier. It also reduces slipperiness from algae or moss.

How a job runs

Our 3-step cleaning and sealing exterior concrete process

Power washing

Deep cleans dirt, grime, mildew, and stains from the surface.

Surface prep

Repairs minor cracks and ensures a smooth, clean base.

Professional sealer application

A high-quality penetrating or film-forming sealer, depending on your needs.

Why High Stakes Epoxy LLC

Most failed epoxy floors were lost before the coating ever came out of the pail.

Coatings don’t fail because of the product. They fail because of what happened — or didn’t happen — to the concrete underneath. That’s the part we refuse to rush.

01 / Prep

We grind. We don’t acid etch.

Every floor gets mechanically diamond-ground to an open concrete profile before anything is applied. It’s slower, dustier and the single biggest reason a floor lasts fifteen years instead of peeling in two.

02 / Materials

Commercial-grade product on residential jobs.

The same coatings we put down in warehouses go into your garage. No thinned box-store kits, no shortcuts on mil thickness to make a number work.

03 / People

The owner is on your job.

High Stakes is owner-operated by Tyler Wilms out of Cleveland, MO. The person who quotes your floor is the person standing on it with a grinder.

04 / After

You get the cure schedule in writing.

When you can walk on it, when you can park on it, how to clean it, and what’s covered. Written down before we leave, not guessed at over the phone a week later.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about cleaning and sealing exterior concrete.

Why should I seal my exterior concrete?

Sealing protects your concrete from water damage, stains, UV rays, and Kansas City's freeze-thaw cycles. Without sealing, concrete can crack, fade, or absorb oil and dirt, shortening its lifespan.

How often should exterior concrete be sealed?

We recommend resealing every 2–3 years, depending on traffic and exposure. High-use areas like driveways may need sealing more frequently, while patios and walkways can last longer between applications.

What types of concrete surfaces can be cleaned and sealed?

Our team cleans and seals driveways, patios, sidewalks, pool decks, and entryways. If it is exterior concrete, we can restore and protect it.

What is the difference between cleaning and sealing?

Cleaning removes dirt, oil, mildew, and stains using professional pressure washing and treatment. Sealing applies a protective layer that resists water, chemicals, and UV damage — keeping your concrete cleaner and stronger for years.

How long does the process take?

Most cleaning and sealing projects take 1 day. Larger surfaces or heavily stained areas may take longer, but we always work efficiently to minimize disruption.

Can sealing prevent cracks in my driveway or patio?

While sealing will not fix existing cracks, it prevents new cracks from forming by protecting against moisture, freeze-thaw damage, and surface wear. For existing cracks, we provide professional repairs before sealing.

Is sealed concrete slippery?

Not at all. We use slip-resistant sealers, especially around pool decks and outdoor living areas, to ensure safety without compromising appearance.

How much does concrete cleaning and sealing cost in Kansas City?

The cost depends on the size of the surface and its condition. On average, Kansas City homeowners spend between $2–$4 per square foot. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

What kind of sealers do you use?

We use industrial-grade penetrating and film-forming sealers designed to resist UV damage, chemicals, and moisture. The type of sealer depends on your surface and desired finish (matte, satin, or gloss).

How do I maintain my sealed concrete?

Sealed concrete is low-maintenance. Just sweep regularly and rinse with water as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, and reseal every few years for long-term protection.
