Restore Appearance and Block Future Staining

Natural stone and paver cleaning and sealing services available in Tetonia and surrounding areas.

Your stone patio, walkway, or driveway in Tetonia has dulled over time, and dirt, algae, or stains have settled into the porous surface. Water no longer beads up, and the color looks faded or uneven. Cleaning removes the buildup, and sealing locks out moisture, stains, and UV damage so the surface stays cleaner longer and holds its color.

TVS Coatings LLC cleans and seals natural stone and paver surfaces for both interior and exterior applications throughout Tetonia. The process works on flagstone, travertine, slate, brick pavers, and concrete pavers installed in patios, walkways, driveways, and interior floors. Cleaning lifts embedded dirt and organic growth, while sealing fills the pores to prevent absorption and makes routine maintenance easier.

If your stone or paver surface needs attention before winter or before stains become permanent, reach out to schedule a cleaning and sealing estimate in Tetonia.

How Cleaning and Sealing Bring the Surface Back

Cleaning begins with pressure washing or chemical treatment to remove dirt, algae, mildew, and efflorescence from the stone or pavers at your Tetonia property. Stubborn stains from oil, rust, or tannins are treated with targeted cleaners, and joint sand is inspected and topped off if needed. Once the surface is clean and dry, a penetrating or film-forming sealer is applied with a roller or sprayer.

After sealing, you will notice the stone or pavers look richer in color, water beads up instead of soaking in, and dirt stays on the surface where it can be hosed off easily. Sealed surfaces resist staining from leaves, grease, and other organic material, and they hold up better to freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure common in Tetonia.

Sealer type depends on the material and the look you want. Penetrating sealers protect without changing appearance, while enhancing sealers darken the stone slightly and add a low sheen. TVS Coatings LLC recommends the right option based on your surface type and exposure.

What You Usually Want Cleared Up First

Homeowners in Tetonia often ask how long the sealer lasts, whether it changes the look of the stone, and what kind of prep is needed before sealing. Here are the answers that come up during estimates and service calls.

What is the difference between penetrating and enhancing sealers?
Penetrating sealers soak into the stone and block moisture without changing appearance. Enhancing sealers also penetrate but add a slight darkening effect and low sheen, which brings out the natural color of the stone or pavers.
How often does stone or paver sealing need to be redone?
Most sealed surfaces in Tetonia need resealing every two to four years depending on exposure, traffic, and sealer type. Exterior surfaces exposed to sun, rain, and snow lose sealer faster than protected or interior installations.
Why does the stone look lighter or faded?
Stone and pavers fade due to UV exposure, weathering, and loss of sealer. Once the protective layer wears off, dirt and moisture dull the surface. Cleaning and resealing restore the original color and bring back the depth.
Can you seal stone or pavers that have never been sealed before?
Yes, sealing can be done on new or old surfaces as long as they are clean and dry. TVS Coatings LLC tests the porosity during the estimate to confirm the stone will absorb sealer properly and hold the protective layer.
What happens if you do not seal stone or pavers?
Unsealed stone and pavers absorb water, stains, and organic material, which leads to discoloration, algae growth, and surface breakdown. In freeze-thaw climates like Tetonia, absorbed moisture can cause cracking and spalling over time.
