Sealant Specialists

Sealant Specialists handles concrete and wood staining and sealing work out of Arlington, Texas. Kelly runs the operation and leads jobs that cover driveways, patios, pool decks, fences, pergolas, garage floors, and limestone or aggregate surfaces. The crew also handles power washing, joint sealing, and some exterior painting when it ties into the staining projects. They focus on cleaning old surfaces first, applying their own stain mixes, and finishing with sealers meant to hold up in the local weather.

Homeowners call them for faded or plain gray concrete that needs color and protection, old cedar fences that have lost their finish, and pool decks where the sealer has worn thin. Kelly and the team have matched stain on new and old slabs side by side, stripped dark coatings from stamped concrete, deep-cleaned mildew from wood instead of just blasting it, and replaced joint material around pools. Results described include fences that still look fresh after five years and concrete that gained color and slip resistance without peeling right away.

The crew stays in touch from the first call through the final walkthrough, shows up on the days they say they will, and works around weather. Reviewers note clear pricing with no surprise charges, crews that protect surrounding areas like outdoor kitchens and tile, and a willingness to fix small issues on the spot. Jobs run in the broader DFW area, and the same customers often bring them back for follow-up work on fences or decks a couple years later.

Most feedback gives the company top marks for clean work, lasting color, and Kelly’s direct involvement. The Google rating sits at 4.7. Reviewers keep mentioning the same points: solid communication, attention to prep work, and finishes that hold up better than what they tried themselves.

“A really great company. If you want to take a step give you home an upgraded look/edge they are the ones to talk to. From consultation to actual execution great team.”

“I had a great experience with this company from start to finish. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they were always friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Special thanks and respect to Kelly for staying with me through the entire process; especially for matching stain color with a new and old cement slab!.. that’s a PRO! What stood out most was the attention to detail and the pride took in their work. They didn’t just rush through the job and move on. They took the time to make sure everything was done correctly and that the final result met a high standard. It’s clear they genuinely care about the quality of their work and customer satisfaction.”

“The team came out and did a great job cleaning and staining our pergola along with the wood trim on our home. Took the time during cleaning to do it properly and deeply clean/kill any mildew vs just pressure cleaning along. Great work and priced very fairly.”

“Updated. . . Here we are less than a year later . . . Bad choice for pool area. See updated photos. I was not pleased, the color he put on was tooooo dark, it was not the color we chose, also, it is not good for use around pools it is already coming off. Also, he uses something that he uses as mastic, it is horrible, we had him replace it around the pool with the regular mastic we were familiar with, but around the outside of the deck he left that, we will have to pay another company to fix that I guess.”

“Sealant Specialist really transformed my pool deck and front porch. Had just plain grey cement that was boring and did not have any pop To it. Kelly and his team at Sealant Specialists Are great to work with. My wife and I are completely satisfied with the outstanding results we got from staining our concrete and fence. Made all the difference in the world! See pictures attached of before and after. We were so pleased with the team we had them paint our home also. Great job and such an improvement. We recommend Sealant Specialists. We feel like we really improved our homes looks and value. We also made new friends with Kelly and his crew. Highly recommend! Rick and Lisa Arnim. Fort Worth, Texas”

“I wanted to take a moment to HIGHLY recommend Kelly and his crew at Sealant Specialists. To know me is to know that I research and read reviews about anything that I spend my money on which led me to Sealant Specialists. Kelly is second to none when it comes to communication and feedback. He is very responsive and his attention to detail is second to none. I have used Kelly for sealing my blue stone in my pool area for that dark look every 2yrs. He just finished adding polymeric sand to fill in the travertine gaps that have come about due to the weather and heat, and I have also used him for staining my fence. His warranty is top of the line and he genuinely cares about his customers. If you are in the market for any of his services, stop looking and give Kelly a call; you will NOT be disappointed.”

“We had Kelly and team out to take on two big projects a few years ago now. I had been staining our fence and pool deck/surround on my own for a while but I couldn't keep up with the DIY materials due to TX summer heat and sun. I wasn't really sure about paying for a top-tier product like these guys deliver but I couldn't be happier. A few years in, I haven't had to lift a finger for maintenance because it still looks like they finished the job last week. Really pleased with the customer service and quality of work.”

“I hired Kelly with Sealant Specialist to re- stain my cedar fence , repaint an iron front door, refinish (stain) my front walkway and driveway and power wash and re- seal my limestone paver pool decking. I’m very pleased with everything. Kelly listens and will work with you to bring your projects to life.”

“The owner Kelly did the front stamped stone walkway sealant job himself. First did 2 coats of black paint and then 2 coats of sealant. Saved the walkway! Did a great job and great clean up as well. Didn't take all day either!”

“Fantastic experience with Kelly and his crew! Everything went smoothly; the job was completed on time, and we are 100%satisfied with the new sealant on our aggregate pool deck. I highly recommend these folks!”

“Had my board on board clear cedar fence cleaned and stained and also had my stamped concrete pool deck refinished. I’m completely thrilled with the outcome of both jobs. Kelly and his team were great to work with. Highly recommended.”

“Highly recommend. I had this team stain two different fences for me. They are professional and very easy to communicate with. Excellent work. Whatever stain they use is the best on the market, every other fence in my neighborhood fades within a year - mine still looks brand new after five years.”

“I have been a homeowner from the age of 18. I am now 65 and I have hired multiple different contractors and trades people to do repairs and updates and painting with all my homes. With that said when I met Kelly Martin and he explained his staining process to update my driveway my Garage doors and my front door. And as always before you hire someone to do your painting you want to make sure they are going to have their words match their actions. When it comes to pricing Sealant specialists were very transparent with no surprises and no up charges. Kelly and his team completed the staining and on the dates and times that he stated based on weather conditions because we were and stripping the old stain off because we were updating the color. It looked great and we were extremely happy with the work. I needed to have our pergola cleaned and stained which was a big job and I shopped around first and then called Kelly with Sealant Specialist and had him give me an estimate that was 400.00 cheaper than the other 2 companies I received estimates from. When Kelly arrived to update the final numbers on the Pergola he noticed that my driveway that was restained a year earlier was not”

“Having Kelly and the pros at Sealant Specialists clean, seal and stain all the cedar in my backyard was one of the best decisions I've made. The woodwork was about 12 years old and I've been trying to stain and keep up with it myself. Big mistake. It all looks brand new now and I was told to expect a 7 year life to this stain. I think I'll have them back in 5.”

“Sealant Specialists did a great job on our slate patio, driveway, deck and front sidewalk. They even got some stubborn rest stains out of our patio slate. Kelly Martin was a pleasure to work with. His crews were professional, polite and cared about quality and getting everything done right. The next job like this we have, I'll call Sealant Specialists.”

“They did a wonderful job staining our arbor. Everything looks great. There was good communication before, during and after which was important to us. Great care was taken to protect the outdoor kitchen/travertine tile during the process. I would recommend this company for any sealant project and plan to use them again the next time we are in need of staining.”

“We 100% Recommend "Sealant Specialists" we had them completely strip, re-stain and seal coat our stamped concrete patio. Kelly the owner and his crew were awesome to work with! They are very professional and skilled, they all worked hard for several days including the owner Kelly going above and beyond to give us exactly what we wanted!!!”

“Called and spoke with Kelly. I am in Kansas and unfortunately out of their service area. However, he didnt hesitate to spend the time walking thru the products he uses and how to get the look in my concrete floor that I am wanting, knowing he would not be able to get an order. Highly recommend this company as it is very hard to find genuine people doing honest business. Thank you kindly for your time today.”

“Kelly did such a wonderful job of resealing our aggregate in our portico. As you can tell from the picture of where it hadn’t been treated it was so sun faded. After a good cleaning and sealing it looks new again. Kelly is very professional and wants to make sure you are happy with the job he has done. I would highly recommend his company.”

“Kelly and his crew restained our fence, stripped and restained our stamped concrete pool deck and replaced all the joint sealer. The crews did an excellent job, were very detailed and took care to protect our home and belongings from any overspray. We were having problems finding someone who could strip and restain the patterned concrete from a very dark color we had previously, but Sealant Specialists were able to do it perfectly. The finished product looks awesome!”
