South Florida Seal Coating Tinted Sealer

South Florida Seal Coating Tinted Sealer
sflasealcoatinginc replied to sflasealcoatinginc's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Well i can premix a 5 gallon of sealer with pigment for a lower price than anyone sells clear sealer for....which is VERY economical....And on pavers only 3 colors will work..... theres no need for a pallet.. when adding color back to pavers you are not trying to match any specific color. Pavers are mixed in grey colors and white colors. All pavers depending on what color combination they include are made with 3 different colors. Red, Charcoal, or malt as a base. These are the only colors that are needed. Again... you are not PAINTING the brick.... you are simply applying a CLEAR sealer to pavers as you would any paver job. This clear paver sealer either has a hint of red/black/or malt color with the consistancy of say crystal light. I have saved many driveways by using this product, and saved many thousands of dollars people were goign to spend to replace their old pavers with new ones. I have not had one unsatisfied customer yet. :) -

South Florida Seal Coating Tinted Sealer
sflasealcoatinginc replied to sflasealcoatinginc's question in Residential Pressure Washing
It is Not waterbased. Its An Acrylic clear 30% solids paver sealer with Coloring added to it. It still acts as any clear sealer would it just has color. The % of color in the clear is undisclosed. It took me a long while and ruined my fair share of bricks and some donated patios getting the blend right its much more than 2% though :) The goal is to add color to the brick without making them look PAINTED or Stained. If you look at the pictures and did not see what they looked like before, you would think they were that color and have clear sealer. And my site is 4 years old and needs to be highly updated. I havnt touched it since 2004. -
South Florida Seal Coating Tinted Sealer
sflasealcoatinginc posted a question in Residential Pressure Washing
This is Our private labeled tinted sealer. Will post more pics with diff colors later....these are 15 year old pavers....clear seal did not work....to much color gone out of the brick... solution.....a Clear / Tint clear sealer with Red pigment NOT A STAIN. You can still see the natural paver colors, just puts the red color back into the brick. Browns and Charcoal pics coming soon....border bricks were sealed with clear....so the border stands out. You can Pm me for pricing. -
Flagstone washing video
sflasealcoatinginc replied to Beth n Rod's question in Residential Pressure Washing
great video....NO surface cleaner?? Id get bored if i had to do that whole thing with a wand...lol -
Point taken.....Ive never had very good luck ...and actually have fixed a couple driveways where a waterbased stain was put over a previous solvent based stain. Undertanding that both have the same acrylic, the only difference is the carrying agent. In all three cases where the water based stain was used, there was flaking of the new stain. So though it may be possible, i usually try to stay away from it. And that pic does look like acid stain btw lol

I dont deal with latex coatings or wood ect.... When i say waterbase over solvent... im talking more about pavers and concrete... When aplying a ssolvent over top of an old waterbase sealer job....the solvent will (melt) or blend itself into the previous coating givign it something to bond to. A water base product doesnt have this bonding property. It simply sits on the surface and sometimes may cuase it to peel. This is especially true when doing concrete stains. Sorry i forgot to clarify that... Oh and Scott Paul was dead on....I have many scars unfortunately on my legs from Dads lol so use it with cuation. Try spraying pepper spray on ur skin and leave it for 10 seconds and your about 1/2 of what dads feels like lol. And yes it gets pretty messy. I especially like the really thick strip jobs cuase it comes of in big flakes. I get excited about odd stuff like that

Your obviously quite a ways from me...i was up in melbourne last week for a job....I have a store IN delray beach...The stripping isnt hard if you know how to do it....I do about 2-3 strip jobs a week,,,,yes thats right ...did one yesterday.about 2200 sq ft..have another one tomorrow.about 1500 sq ft..i have soem posts on here with before after pics if u want to look through the archives. You cannot put a water base over top of a solvent #1.......#2 75% of pool decks are 1 " brick..... especially in florida where they had cool deck....concrete or chatt under. This is usually the cuase for the hazing 99% of the time. People coat sealer on like they are not supposed to and thats what happens. If they are tiles ( 1 inch brick) There is a very good chance it could happen again ...let the homeowner know about this. If there is no screen enclosure you should be good to go.... If there is....count on a mess. Dads stripper is usually priced from 119-125 per 5 gallon....i sell it cheaper than anyone @ 115 per 5 gal. you can give me a call anytime i can walk you through it step by step. :)

Pool Area, Drive and Sidewalk
sflasealcoatinginc replied to MarksMobileWash's question in Residential Pressure Washing
If the cooldecking is affected by your pressure cleaning it wasnt applied correctly. We do texture deck as well as cleaning and sealing and it should not budge once its been put down. Clean just as you would any concrete. If you are still leary about it. Turn the reg down on your pressure cleaner. -
What is the most effective way to get jobs?
sflasealcoatinginc replied to mdspowerwashing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
#1 rule....get to know general contractors in your area....they can be your best friends... construction like anything is a small world...everyone knows everyone..... GC's can be your eyes and ears for upcoming projects...or companies doing them,.... Just to let you know...ive been in business for over 4 years now....over 150,000 per year and not one dime have i ever spent on advertising...its all word of mouth through the contractors and builders i have come in contact with through the years -
