Deck & Interlock Sealing in Toronto — FAQ

Toronto homes range from hundred-year-old semis to new builds on the city's edges, and each one has its own access, driveway and deck questions. Seal Tech Inc. power washes, stains and seals decks, fences, interlock and concrete across Toronto and the rest of the GTA. Below are the questions homeowners here ask us most.

Questions Toronto Homeowners Ask

Which areas of Toronto do you cover?

All of Toronto, from the downtown core out to Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough, plus the wider GTA. We work on everything from older semis near the core to newer homes on the city's edges. Wherever you are in Toronto, the same crew and the same care apply.

Our semi-detached has a shared driveway. How does sealing work when we share access?

Shared driveways are common in older Toronto neighbourhoods, and they need a little coordination. We seal your half cleanly and keep the neighbour's half untouched unless they book the same job. If both sides agree, we can do the whole driveway in one visit.

We park on the street with a permit. How far ahead do we need to plan driveway work?

Just long enough to move the car for the days we are on site. The driveway has to be empty while it is cleaned, re-sanded and sealed, and we will tell you the exact dates in advance. Most homeowners on permit streets manage fine with a little notice.

Our house is over a hundred years old with an original wooden porch. Can you restore it?

Usually, yes. Older porches and trim are often solid wood that responds well to careful cleaning and a fresh stain or sealer. We inspect the boards and fasteners first, and we only replace pieces that are genuinely rotted or split.

We live in a small low-rise building. Do you clean building exteriors, not just houses?

Yes. Along with homes, we clean the exteriors of low-rise commercial and residential buildings, including walkways and entrance areas. If you are on a condo board or managing a small building, we can quote the whole property.

Our backyard deck is tiny. Is it still worth staining?

It is, because a small deck is often the whole outdoor space a downtown home has. Staining protects the boards so they last, and it makes the space look finished. Size does not change the prep work, so we treat a small deck with the same care as a large one.

When should we book to avoid spring rain delays?

Book early and we will schedule around the forecast. Staining and sealing need dry, mild weather, so spring jobs are often spread across a few good-weather windows. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have to slot you in.

Is salt a problem for interlock near the curb and sidewalk?

Yes, and those edges see the most salt because they are ploughed and shovelled first. Salt fades the pavers and breaks down the joint sand. Cleaning the edges and resealing in spring keeps that front strip from degrading faster than the rest of the driveway.
