The Post-winter Protection Playbook

In this OutdoorTalk™, Karol Weyman is joined by Scott Higginbotham from Stain-Proof by Dry-Treat to talk about the effects of winter weather on outdoor masonry and how to bring it back to life for spring. Together, they explore the residues winter leaves behind — from mold and organic staining to salt, oil and rust — and why thorough cleaning is critical before any protective treatment. The conversation highlights how modern penetrating sealers have evolved to protect appearance, prevent moisture intrusion and extend surface life across both vertical cladding and horizontal flatwork. These insights equip contractors with the knowledge and confidence to restore, protect and elevate outdoor professionals as they head into the busy spring season.
