Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993Owner
I am Scott Paul, and I have worked in exterior restoration since 1993. My background is wood and deck restoration, and my crews and I restored more than 10,000 decks across Metro Detroit. That work always included the concrete, brick pavers and stamped surfaces sitting alongside them. ConcreteSealerReview.com covers sealers for those surfaces. I test them the way I test everything else: on real projects, in real weather, over multiple seasons. I also own and operate DeckStainHelp.com, the independent wood and deck restoration resource, which runs on the same testing standard and the same independence policy. Neither review site accepts payment from manufacturers for reviews, ratings or placement.
