Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, if the pavers have faded, lost joint sand or gone green. A Northeast Florida washing company says the area has a humid subtropical climate, and afternoon summer storms feed algae and wash sand out of the joints. Sealed pavers keep more of their sand and take less effort to rinse off later. To see if yours are ready, request your free estimate.

How long do paver sealers last?

Plan on two to five years. A Northeast Florida washing company calls two to three years typical, and a published price guide from another local company says three to five. Full sun, pool chlorine and storms push the number down. A dark patch where water soaks in, instead of beading, means the coat has worn thin. To have yours checked, call (904) 606-1450.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

Most of the price pays for prep. A full job means a wash, stain treatment, new joint sand, drying time and then the coat. The same price guide adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot when old sealer has to be stripped first. A bid under $1 per square foot usually means steps were skipped. For a price that lists each step, request your free estimate.

How much does it cost to re-sand and seal pavers?

A Northeast Florida washing company publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal, so sand is inside that range. If only the sand is replaced, the same price guide lists $0.25 to $0.75 per square foot. A 600 square foot driveway in Sawgrass would land near $1,050 to $1,950 for the full job. To get your own number, call (904) 606-1450.

How much should I pay for paver sealing?

A fair quote usually falls inside $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the full clean, sand and seal. Small areas under 300 square feet run higher per foot, and large driveways run lower. Brick, travertine and other stone can cost 15 to 30 percent more, according to the same price guide. Ask what the number includes before you compare two quotes. To get one in writing, request your free estimate.

Do I need HOA approval to seal pavers in Sawgrass?

Check first. Sawgrass has two large gated communities, and homes inside them usually answer to an association. A change from a natural finish to a high gloss wet look is the kind of change a board may want to review. Ask the contractor for the product name and finish so you can send it along. To start that conversation, request your free estimate.

Does living near the ocean change how pavers are sealed in Sawgrass?

It changes what to ask, not the basic steps. The Atlantic is a short drive east and the Intracoastal Waterway is close by, so ask whether the contractor rinses the surface well before sealing. Sealer needs a clean, fully dry surface to bond. To go over it for your street, call (904) 606-1450.

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Usually yes. Sun fades the color, storms wash out joint sand and humidity feeds algae, and a sealer coat slows all three. What you give up is a repeat job every few years. Unilock, a paver maker, suggests resealing every three to five years.
