Cedar Seal is not just a traditional sealer; it's a technically advanced waterproofer using our Water-Defense™ technology developed from over 15 years of tenure cleaning coastal New England cedar homes. It forms a protective shield that allows the cedar to breathe while preventing water penetration and mold growth. Cedar Seal does not alter the cedar’s natural color or appearance, allowing it to age gracefully without blackening or mold growth. In addition to protecting against water damage, Cedar Seal serves as an excellent base coat for stains or paints, extending their lifespan by reducing wood movement. It’s the ultimate solution for maintaining and enhancing your cedar’s longevity and beauty.

Best Sealer I Have Found "Best sealer I have found to retain the natural color of the cedar. I applied 2 coats to begin with and 6 months later, reapplied another coat and the cedar still looks new. The sealer did not change the color of the wood at all. I will not use anything else again."

Common Questions from Contractors AND Homeowners About Cedar Seal
Can I Use Cedar Seal Before Staining?
Absolutely. Cedar Seal acts as a perfect base coat before applying a stain. It prevents mold, mildew, and moss from growing on your freshly cleaned cedar. This base coat extends the life of your stain or paint by minimizing water absorption and wood movement.
Why Should I Seal My Cedar?
Sealing is the best way to protect your investment. Water can saturate cedar, freeze, and cause cracking and splitting. This not only looks bad but can lead to significant damage. Sealing your cedar prevents this and keeps it in top condition.
Can I Seal My Cedar Roof?
Yes, Cedar Seal is perfect for cedar roofs. Its breathable coating ensures that while water can’t get in, air can still circulate, allowing the cedar to breathe and stay dry.
What Will My Cedar Look Like After It’s Sealed?
Your cedar will look as good as new. The sealant doesn’t change the color or physical appearance of the wood. It allows the cedar to gray naturally in the sun while preventing the growth of stains from black mold.
