Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, when pavers have faded, thinned out on joint sand or gone green. Unilock, a paver maker, says a good sealer protects against water, dirt, oil and stains and helps hold the joint sand. It will not cure drainage or base problems. Want a read on yours? Use the estimate form.

How much does it cost to have pavers cleaned and sealed?

Northeast Florida companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the clean, sand and seal. At that rate a 600 square foot driveway lands near $1,050 to $1,950, and stripping a failed coat adds more. Dial (386) 614-8898 for a figure that fits your pavers.

How often should pavers be sealed around Interlachen?

Budget for a new coat every two to five years. One Northeast Florida company calls two to three years typical, with full sun, pool chlorine and summer storms pulling it toward two. Water that soaks in and darkens the pavers instead of beading is the sign. Phone (386) 614-8898 to have yours checked.

Can pavers beside a lake be sealed?

Yes, with care. Ask the contractor how wash water, cleaner and overspray stay out of the lake. Unilock says sealer cannot be washed off once it lands, so plants and edges get covered first. Talking through a patio by the water starts with the estimate form.

Why does my Interlachen driveway turn green so fast?

Shade, damp air and sprinklers keep pavers wet, and wet pavers grow algae. The town has more than 28 lakes inside its limits and a humid subtropical climate, so moisture is rarely far off. A wash clears the green, and a sealed surface is easier to keep clean. Call (386) 614-8898 to get a look at yours.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

The price covers more than the sealer. A Northeast Florida company says square footage, paver type and the amount of joint sand all set the number, and a failed old coat must be stripped first. Washing, drying time and a second visit for sand add labor. Phone (386) 614-8898 for a written price you can compare.

Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?

Either works when the person applying it is careful. Unilock lists a sprayer, a foam roller and a short pile roller as options, and warns that streaks, drips and layered coats cause uneven gloss. Ask the contractor which method suits your pavers. Questions go through the estimate form.

How long does a paver sealing job take?

Expect one to two days. A Northeast Florida company says empty joints or failed sealer turn a job into a two day restoration, because the surface must dry between washing and coating. A storm can push day two back. A realistic time frame for your pavers comes with the free quote.
