National did a great job. They exceeded my expectations regarding the application of a non-slip coating to my travertine pool tile. I would recommend them to anyone interested in applying non-slip coating to pool decks. The job done by Mark was done timely and very cleanly. He was knowledgeable about the product with many years experience

Mark with National Sealing was great. He was very knowledgeable and share a lot of information. Our pool deck looks amazing and are very happy with it. Its only been down for a little over a week so we will have to see how it wears but from what I understand it should wear and last for a few years.

Hi Kenny/Mark.I am satisfied with the overall feel and look of the nano beads. Our pool deck definitely feels much more non slip and I feel safer having my kids and grandparents walking on it. Mark you are extremely knowledgeable and made us feel confident that we would be happy with the final product. thank you BoTH for your professionalism !

So thrilled we found National Sealing Company! The travertine decking and surfaces of our new pool and large patio look great - and it's most importantly super easy to clean! Rust, spills, etc. wipe up great! (And, no more sandy/dusty travertine to clean!)Kenny helped answer all of my questions initially, and we were very quickly added to the schedule. And, the price was very reasonable!We went with Mark's recommendation of "medium grippy" for the application of the nano beads. The surface feels great. Not at all rough to the feet, adds a nice sheen, and no one has slipped since the install! (Whew! The appearance and feel were my biggest concern going in.) I did have a few spots in crevices that pooled up white but was able to use a toothpick to remove it.My pool builder didn't initially recommend sealing tile because of the concern about making the surface slippery. After talking to several neighbors who didn't seal their travertine based on pool builders' recommendations, they all regretted. (In Houston, mildew quickly becomes a problem with the look of travertine - yet, you aren't supposed to pressure wash it either, which is a pickle! So this is a great alternative solution!) My pool installer is now recommending National Sealing to other customers based on our positive experiences.

These guys did a great job sealing and applying a non-slip nano bead topcoat to a ~700 sqft travertine pool patio. We had the patio sealed beforehand but the result was far too slippery and became a bit of a safety hazard. I worked with Kenny who was clearly an expert in the trade and was able to resolve our issues entirely. Very satisfied, highly recommend.

I tried other products to make the travertine tiles around the pool less slippery and dangerous with no great success, but this product, so far, has done the job.

Anyone is thinking about sealing or coating their pavers, travertine or other patio or driveway you should really check out this company, National Sealing. It was the best decision my wife and I made when we hired them to coat our new travertine patio. Kenny is awesome in explaining their product and services and the job they did was top notch looks great and protects the surface of our newly installed travertine. Very professional and excellent service from start to finish. Would highly recommend them to friends and family.

Overall our travertine pool deck looks and feels fantastic! Working with Kenny and Mark was easy and pleasant. I'm optimistic this coating will last at least a few years - given that this in Boise, Idaho a freeze/thaw environment. If anything changes I will attempt to update.

We just installed a new travertine deck (July 2023) and wanted to make sure that it was well protected. We have a salt water pool and are aware that salt water is aggressive to natural stones which further heightened our desire to ensure that we did our best to protect our deck. I talked with several companies and ultimately decided to use National Sealing. On the phone Kenny answered all of my questions. Ultimately there was an element of a leap of faith since I had no experience with protecting natural stone outside, but Kenny's explanations along with the numerous positive reviews I read online convinced me to go with National Sealant.Mark came out promptly on our scheduled day and walked me through everything that he would do. It was exactly as Kenny had described it previously. I was impressed with Mark's patience in explaining everything I should know, he listened to and answered all of my questions, and as I watched him work it seemed evident to me that he really cared that he did a great job.It's been two days since the coating with the nano beads was sprayed on our travertine. It looks great. The surface is slightly rough, perhaps like a fine grit sandpaper. I am very happy with the coating and the look. Time will eventually tell if the travertine is protected to the extent that we hope for, but at this point we are very pleased with the product and the service.

We had our pool deck of travertine sealed and had the nano beads added as well to prevent slipping. The pool deck looks great and the non-slip application is phenomenal. It’s much better than the sand application others quoted.

The travertine around my pool looks amazing! I no longer have to worry about my three-year-old granddaughter slipping on the wet tiles and everyone I dealt with is so very nice I would recommend national sealing to anyone who needs this type of service.

After researching the various ways to protect our newly installed Travertine deck we chose Kenny at National Sealing to lay down his NS-200 Coating with nano non-slip beads. In addition to bringing out the natural beauty of the stone the non-slip surface makes it much safer to walk on when wet. With proper care it looks/feels like it will last a few seasons before needing a refresh. Time will tell.Mark, our installer, did an excellent job explaining the process and answering all of our questions. It was clear he believed in the product, and he was a pleasure to work with.We've had a positive experience contracting with National Sealing Company and plan to contact them again when our deck needs refreshing.

They did a really nice job on my patio. And probably even more important - when I had a small issue, they were quick to come right back out and address it. I couldn’t be happier. Great job.

Mark was great. This company is excellent and thus far I’m very satisfied with the coating and anti-slip product. .Mark arrived on time, went over what was to be done and then answered any questions that I had. He coated my travertine pool deck and applied the nano beads for anti-slip. As they say the coating really brings out the color in the travertine. I also had him apply coating to some darker split faced travertine used around the pool and on two walls. The coating really enhanced the color and looks so much better than before.I have to say that I was a little nervous about getting a company out of Florida to protect my pool surface here in Texas but these guys do work all over and get the job done as discussed and as promised.Thanks Mark and National Sealing Company for job well done.

They came up to Alabama to apply their coating to the pavers around my new pool. Mark did a great job, he was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. It is amazing how much better the deck looks and feels. I was really impressed, and will be calling them in 3-5 yrs to re-apply when it is time.

I called Kenny for a quote on my marmiro marble stone after hearing wonders about him and his company. The price was right and the service was more then what I anticipated. Mark came to spray patio and even included my front door stairway.My only request from Kenny and his company is that get involved in more areas of work because I would hire them in a minute.It was a pleasure working with National Sealing company, look no further, if they fit you in to the schedule, grab the opportunity !

This product did the trick. The travertine around our pool and steps was extremely slippery. I found National Sealing via online reviews and had concerns as they were not local to our area. They exceeded expectations with communication, on time service and results. Five star review is warranted!

I have tumbled ivory travertine that was sealed with a water sealant. PB told me it absolutely would not be slippery. First week I wiped out. It was so so slippery when wet. After tons of research, I located National Sealing Company out of Florida. They travel all over the country. They have this special Nano bead technology which puts a grip on the travertine. I was nervous because I didn’t know anyone who had done it or had heard of the company but we took the chance. We had it done last Tuesday (not even a week yet) and we are thrilled!!! It feels like a light sandpaper or the bottom of your fiberglass pool. It should last between 3-5 years. It is NOT slippery at all. The color changes to the color your travertine is when wet. Kenny Kline is the person who responds to your questions and he is very knowledgeable and helpful. I asked lots of questions. Mark was the one who came to the house and sprayed the material. He was Amazing!! He explained everything he was doing. It is expensive but well worth it. I even had a question days after it was done and Kenny got right back to me. I found them to be a great company to work with. This is a picture after it was done. I would highly recommend this company.

I must confess that I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I am an avid review reader. However, am I so happy with National Sealing Company that I feel obligated to share my experience. My pool was completed in the summer of 2021 and my deck is stamped concrete. The initial contractor used a water-based sealer without any grip additive. This made my deck an ice rink and several people slipped. My wife and I became terrified of having our kids use our new beautiful pool and we refused to have friends over for fear that they would fall. I called the initial contractor about the issue and their solution was to cover the water-based sealed with an oil-based seal and adding the anti-slip additive. Though this slightly helped, our deck was still very slippery and I was going to paint over our beautiful colored stamped concrete because I felt desperate for a safe solution. This is when I first came across National Sealing Company online and Kenny contacted me right away. Kenny instantly diagnosed our issue and we came up with a plan. Kenny gave me detailed instructions on how to strip the existing sealants and we scheduled a date for National Sealing Company to come apply its non-slip application. National Sealing Company stayed in constant contact with me until the install date and Mark did the job. Mark is a really nice guy and he’s very knowledgeable. I felt so much relief after Mark told me that their application will make our deck non-slip and boy was he right. Our deck has so much grip that I am having my son’s baseball friends over this weekend and we can now enjoy our pool. I will certainly recommend National Sealing Company to my friends!-Chapel Hill, NC

I installed travertine tiles around my pool and outdoor kitchen area. I became very concerned when they became wet and were slippery. I started researching all kinds of sealants. Most would just seal the surface so it would not be porous. Leaving a dull look. A wet looking sealant would make it more slippery. Upon further research I read that you can add sand to the sealant to make non slippery. On reviews this method does not last long. I then came across National Sealing. I must have looked at 10 of their informative videos. I then called Ken, who has taken the time to explain to me the differences of sealants. He explained thoroughly the process they use to seal the tile and their patented nano bead process so it becomes non slippery. I had National Sealing spray my travertine tiles last week. Mark came to my house and neatly sprayed all my tiles. I could not be more happier with the results!!I highly recommend! My tiles look better than the day I installed them They have a nice sheen on them and a nice coating that feels a little rubbery. Not slippery!!Well done Ken and Mark!!

Kenny was good on the pricing and scheduling and Martel and Dale did a great job out here. We have travertine on the pool deck, porches, patios and sidewalks and wanted to protect it against staining while also adding a little texture to prevent anyone from slipping. It turned out great. The coating enhanced the appearance of the travertine and the optional nano beads made all of the surfaces much more safe. THANKS GUYS!

Don't bother with sealers that fail, this stuff works and looks great! Made the faded pavers (gray/beige/purplish) in the front we installed five years ago look brand new. In the back we just installed rustic colored pavers. Both have that wet look now. Mark was professional and fun to chat with as well.
