Protection

Keeping the work you paid for

Once repairs and painting are done, the right sealers help keep water out of the places it should not be. This protects both the finish and the structure underneath it.

Sun, rain and salt air all take a toll on an exposed facade. Sealing the finished work is what turns a good result into one that still looks good years later.

Dealt with at the source, not sealed in

Old homes often have a history of damp and salt in the walls. We treat these problems at the source before sealing, so we are not locking moisture in behind the work.

There is no single sealer that suits every surface. We match the product to the material and the way that part of the home faces the weather.

3

Questions

Common questions

Not when it is done properly. We treat damp first and choose breathable products where the wall needs to move moisture, so we protect the home without sealing problems in.

No. Wet areas and other parts of a home can need waterproofing too. We will point out where it matters when we look at the home.
