Who is ConcreteSealerReview.com, and why do I offer help, reviews, and tips for restoring exterior wood?
I have been getting this question for some time now, and I would like to explain myself for a better understanding of what I do, who I am, and why I do it.
Who answers the questions and writes the reviews?
All reviews and comment answers are from my experience as an exterior concrete sealing and maintenance restoration contractor.
Through the years, numerous restoration contractors have contributed to this site directly or indirectly by writing articles, offering product reviews, and offering advice in the comment sections.
Scott Paul – Owned OPW LLC Deck Restoration for 25+ years and The Sealer Store eCommerce sites.
As an article and comment contributor to the site, I have been around the pressure washing industry since attending Michigan State University. In 1993, I started my first company called Oakland Pressure Wash, specializing in exterior pressure washing and concrete sealing and maintenance. That company evolved into OPW L.L.C. shortly thereafter, concentrating more on exterior wood and concrete restoration. I have restored over 10,000 projects in the Metro Detroit area since the early years. I have become an authority in the concrete restoration industry and have contributed to numerous restoration forums and informative sites. In the spring of 1996, I opened his first brick-and-mortar storefront in Rochester Hills, MI, relying on his vast experience, and stocked the store with the best restoration products available. In 2002, Scott opened his first eCommerce site…

Why do I offer our reviews?
To help consumers research alternatives to standard big box store brands and give our experience and opinions on the top products (poor products) while helping them with restoration questions for their project.
Where to find products?
I do not sell products directly from this site. For each product reviewed, you will find links to the manufacturers and related sites. Keep in mind that most products we review are available in select stores throughout the USA. It is best to contact the manufacturers directly for help with this.
Are you paid by the manufacturers?
No, no manufacturer has paid me to promote a product.
Are you affiliated with anyone?
I, Scott Paul, an independent restoration contractor, started this site’s concept years ago. I use and review brands and write articles based on my past experiences. I reserve the right to protect ourselves by editing any potentially damaging comments. See Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Are your reviews biased?
Yes and no. As a contractor in the business, with many 1000 projects restored, I have strong opinions on what works and does not, so it is hard not to be biased sometimes. Fortunately, I realize that not all products work the same based on your particular environment and location, so I try to vary my comment suggestions. You will see that many of my opinions and reviews are shared by contractors on other wood restoration forums and by individual homeowners on this site.
Can we contact you directly?
Please place all product questions and comments on the site. Every review and help article we write has a Q&A section at the bottom where you can interact to ask questions and add pictures.
No Internet Trolling Allowed
A troll, or troller in internet slang, is someone who starts arguments or upsets people by posting rude or extraneous messages in an online community. Their goal is to cause people to get emotional and harass them online. I strongly forbid this, remove comments, and ban users if needed.
Summary of ConcreteSealerReview.com
I understand that not everyone will agree with our site and reviews, and we respect that. I do allow consumers to post their own comments for each product review. I allow good and bad comments on product reviews from consumers who have used the products. I will censor comments that contain vulgar language, links to sites, or come directly from a manufacturer.
My advice and reviews are not 100% accurate for all scenarios. I strive to help people and am offering a substantial amount of free help and advice. If you do not agree with my advice or site, please visit another help site.
Thanks,
Scott Paul
