Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, when the pavers have faded, lost joint sand or started to grow algae. A Northeast Florida washing company points to heavy summer storms, full sun and pool chlorine as the things that wear a coat down. A sealed surface holds its sand better and rinses off with less work. To see whether yours are ready, ask for a free estimate.

How much is paver sealing per square foot?

One Northeast Florida washing company posts $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for cleaning, sanding and sealing together. At those rates a 600 square foot driveway runs about $1,050 to $1,950. Stripping a failed coat costs more. To price your own driveway, call (904) 736-4863.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

Because the sealer is the last step of a longer job. The same Northeast Florida company describes it as a clean, re-sand and seal, not a same-day spray, and a failed old coat has to be stripped first. A quote far below the usual range often means the washing or sanding was skipped. To see what a price should cover, ask for a free estimate.

How long do paver sealers last?

Plan on two to three years, which a Northeast Florida washing company calls typical. Full sun, pool chlorine and summer storms push that toward two. Water soaking in and darkening the pavers, instead of beading, is a sign the coat is thin. To have yours checked, call (904) 736-4863.

Why do my Asbury Lake pavers have orange stains?

Iron is the usual cause. UF/IFAS Extension says most Florida well water is high in iron and leaves rust deposits on whatever it touches, and a Northeast Florida washing company says those stains need a rust treatment, not more pressure. Look at where your sprinkler heads aim, because the marks follow the spray. To get them treated before sealing, ask for a free estimate.

How much should I pay for paver sealing?

Start from the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot a Northeast Florida washing company publishes for the full clean, sand and seal. A 1,000 square foot driveway comes to roughly $1,750 to $3,250 at those rates. Ask what a number includes before you compare two quotes, because washing and sanding are easy to leave out. To get a written price, ask for a free estimate.

Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?

Neither wins outright, and some contractors use both. Unilock lists a garden pump sprayer, a foam roller and a short pile roller as the tools for the job. Spraying covers ground faster, and a roller gives more control at edges. Ask which a contractor prefers on your pavers, or call (904) 736-4863.

How long does a paver sealing job take at an Asbury Lake home?

Plan on one to two days. A Northeast Florida washing company says empty joints or a failed coat make it a two-day restoration. Rain can add a day, since the pavers must dry before sealer goes on. To ask about your schedule, ask for a free estimate.
