Clean ‘n Seal

Ang and her crew arrived on the dot and did a beautiful job of cleaning and sealing my bricks. They were very conservative with water usage and left everything neat a tidy upon their departure.
And, my driveway, walkway, and porches’ bricks look stunning!

Ang did a fantastic job! A very hard worker with a great attitude! A few things I would point out though… It was not clearly explained that our turf would definitely take a hit especially near the edges where the work occurred ! And since we had put many layers of sealer on our stonework ourselves, there was a LOT of it laying all over the place even after Ang cleaned up! I am still picking it up weeks later. It is a very invasive process– our pool was a complete mess. We had to call our pool service who had to take our filter apart twice to clean out !!! Again that was our fault because we had so many layers of sealant on already it just went into the pool when Ang was power washing! I would have preferred to «know the details and ugly truth up front!» (another comment on the original estimator who came to our house — maybe he needs more training !?). We are totally happy with the results ! Our stonework looks like a MILLION BUCKS !

Ang and her team did a fantastic job with brushing up our concrete in front of the house and also with a large part of the backyard.
Ang came to our house and gave us a fair competitive estimate. From there on everything was smooth. Clean N Seal is very reliable and got the job done with good quality work.
I recommend Ang and her team for all concrete work.

Ang Lewis and Danny did an outstanding job in cleaning and sealing three concrete areas on our property. Their human relations skills and work ethic are second to none as they kept me engaged in all aspects of the process steps.
The one enhancement that I suggest is they should have left some stain/​sealer for any residual touch-​ups.
My opinion is that this is a very reputable and transparent company that was a pleasure to work with starting with the project estimator, John Cordova.

I’m happy with the work on my old deck! I had priced replacing and when that seemed exorbitant, I called around about refinishing. We had a tricky aspect to our deck in that the understory had been painted white. My main request was to remove the white paint and to refresh the rest of the deck.
The man I spoke with who estimated the project said it would be a three day job. I was thrilled! (It took a lot longer than 3 days. I’m hoping he has learned not to underestimate since this job.)
Ang and the crew came and worked very diligently. The paint was really on there. It took several goes with the stripper and sanding to remove most of it. We agreed that what was important was a consistent surface. I now have that and I like it a lot.
The steam cleaning and the stripping was messy. One thing I might suggest to the crew in the future would be to cover the house during that portion of the project. It took me a very long time to unstick tiny googobs of paint from doors and windows and screens.
The steam cleaning and sealing has made my deck look so much better and that was the goal! Ang and the two fellows who worked there were champs and hardworking and very self sufficient. It was money well spent.

The good the bad and the ugly
We contacted clean and seal to seal, our two back patios. Someone came out and sprayed the patios. They also sprayed part way up, the walls of the house, the stone planters and the stainless BBQ. The seal, was put on In weather that was too cold and it did not dry properly. We called the owner David and he had someone come back out and re1seal it. They also attempted to touch up the paint. You still can see the color difference, we agreed to live with the paint problem. This coat turned white and cloudy. next time Ang came out. The patio had to stripped and resealed.
It took a lot of seam cleaning. We were assured the stripper was organic and would not hurt our newly sodded back lawn. We now have. A dead lawn, paint on the house that does not match. David replied that there is no strippers that would not harm the lawn. Should have been told that up front. So 1500 dollars later we have the paint issue a dead lawn and a mediocre finish on our patios. Wish we would have never made that call to Clean and Seal…

My wife and I have a home in Orinda with a fairly sizeable deck. Since the deck, which was built in 2007 by the previous owner, did not appear to be well maintained, we began to look for someone who could remove the existing ‘coastal gray’ stain, prep, and re-​stain the deck for us. After speaking to 5 – 7 deck restoration companies, we landed on Clean ‘n Seal because of their steam cleaning (w/​water pressure). Additionally, they were one of the few companies where it was cost effective to remove the stain from the wooden rails.
Ang and Jeff have been working diligently on our deck for the past couple of days and things are looking good. Thus far, I’ve appreciated their friendliness and attention to detail. Ang is very personable and has been good about keeping me informed about what is going on; I’m looking forward to seeing the final product when they are complete. I suspect that it will look great (I will add a follow-​up post when we get to that point).
I will confess that things started out a bit rocky; the time to completion was originally underestimated by the sales rep who comes out to estimate the work. That said, when Ang arrived and assessed the situation, she was up front about walking me through timing and resetting expectations. Despite the timing/​expectation issues (where we currently have some flexibility), I’m still giving them five stars for the time being.

Ang Lewis came out to strip the back deck and put the sealer on. The job was awesome and beyond my imagination. The 21 year old deck was really beat up and now is looks 100 percent better. Now I am proud to show friends the backyard and deck. I highly recommend this company for any future projects you might have.

All I have to say is wow! My husband and I were immensely impressed with the job that Dave and his capable crew from Clean N Seal did on our wood deck, pagoda and fencing on our property in Alamo. There was a lot of area to cover and they were extremely detailed and professional in how they did the job from start to finish. We had a newer redwood deck that was not included in the job quote that needed an extra coat of stain and when we asked Dave for his opinion, he offered to stain it for us at no extra cost. Clean N Seal was reasonable in cost and definitely went above and beyond what we expected. They have excellent equipment and a great team. We are extremely happy with the finished product. What started as an old and worn looking deck and fence, now looks like new. We could not be happier!
