Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost to seal pavers in Fleming Island?

Companies serving Northeast Florida publish about $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. A 1,000 square foot driveway would land near $1,500 to $2,500. Repairs or stripping old sealer add to that.

How often should pavers be sealed in Florida?

Paver companies commonly quote a sealer life of two to five years. Sun, irrigation, shade and car traffic all change that number, so a driveway and a shaded pool deck on the same property can wear differently.

Is there a downside to sealing pavers?

Yes. Sealing is a repeat cost, and once a solvent-based sealer is down you generally have to stay with solvent-based products. A wet look finish also shows scuffs more than a matte finish does.

Can I seal my pavers myself?

You can buy sealer and do it yourself. The main risk is compatibility, since a water-based sealer cannot go on top of a solvent-based one. If you do not know what was used before, test a small area first or ask a contractor.

Does this website do the work?

No. We are a referral service. Your request goes to an independent contractor who serves your area, and that company gives you the quote and does the job.

What do professionals use to seal pavers?

Most use a water-based or solvent-based paver sealer, put down by spray, roller or both. Water-based products have a mild odor and can be followed later by either type. Solvent-based products usually give more gloss but must generally be followed by solvent-based products.

Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?

Either can work. Unilock, a paver manufacturer, lists a sprayer or a foam or short pile roller, and says a dry roller can soak up extra sealer so it does not streak. Ask the contractor which method they use on your surface.

How do I know my pavers need sealing?

Splash some water on them. If it soaks in quickly instead of beading, the coat may be wearing out. Fading color, lost joint sand and new weeds are the other signs.
