Types of Concrete Preparation Products Available

Proper preparation of concrete surfaces is crucial for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of stains, sealers, and paints. At Duval Paint & Decorating, we offer a range of high-quality products designed to make your concrete preparation process efficient and successful.

1. Concrete Cleaners and Degreasers

Concrete cleaners and degreasers are vital for removing dirt, grease, oil, and other contaminants from concrete surfaces. Thorough cleaning ensures that the surface is free of residues that can interfere with the adhesion of stains and sealers, providing a clean slate for further treatment.

2. Concrete Etchers

Etching the concrete surface helps create a rough texture, which significantly enhances the adhesion of subsequent coatings. This step is especially important for smooth or previously sealed concrete surfaces, ensuring that stains, sealers, and paints bond effectively and uniformly.

3. Concrete Patching Compounds

Repairing cracks, holes, and other imperfections in concrete surfaces is essential for achieving a smooth and uniform finish. Patching compounds fill and seal these flaws, providing a solid and even surface that is ready for staining or sealing, thereby enhancing the overall durability and appearance of the finished project.

4. Primers

Applying a primer is a key step in concrete preparation as it improves the adhesion of topcoats and provides a uniform base. Primers ensure that stains, sealers, and paints adhere properly, enhancing their durability and the overall finish of the project. They also help in sealing the surface and preventing issues such as peeling or blistering.

You're not just getting the best paint on the market with Ben Moore, you're also getting the most professional staff with Duval Paint. Their service is fast, friendly and helpful. Their ability to color match is unsurpassed. No "take a number" service like the "big box" stores here. These aren't "big box" employees either, they are paint pros!

I called their main store at 2855 St. John’s Bluff Road and spoke to a man named John. He was the most courteous, well informed salesman I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. He knew his products, listened intently to what I wanted, asked his fellow workers and came up with the best plan for what we were doing. I would definitely recommend them to everyone! Kudos on having such a great person working for you!

Fantastic service! They got me squared away with 7 gallons of paint in under an hour and even loaded the paint into my car. I love that they automatically made an account for me for future reference in case I forget what paint I’ve purchased. Drive the extra couple minutes to support a local business and get way better quality paint than the box box stores carry (Benjamin Moore Regal Select).

Absolutely incredible. I have been coming here for A little over a year because they are selection as well as price on paint, polyurethane‘s, Epoxy ‘s, and materials are unbeatable. But most of all I would like to comment that one job that I did came out defective, and I walked into the store simply to buy more material to try and correct it. Sean and Bob instead decided to go above and beyond and actually drive out to the jobsite to assess the situation hands on and personally. They spoke to the material distributor to troubleshoot the issues. There are A few Benjamin Moore‘s that are closer than this location and yet I still drive out of my way because the customer service is absolutely unmatched. Tony and Matt have always been the experts to pick up the phone every time and take their time to run you down on your process, and answer every question. You aren’t just buying and talking to a group of salesman, you are dealing with experts in their craft that can tell you how to use their product and what it will do. A guarantee no other supplier will go as far above and beyond as these group of guys . Thank you Tony, Matt, Sean, John and Bob and all other staff members at Duval paint
