Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, once pavers fade, thin out at the joints or go green. Safe Touch, a pressure washing company with a page for this region, says summer storms wash sand out of joints. A sealed surface holds that sand better and rinses clean with less work. To see if yours are ready, ask for a free estimate.

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

Companies in Duval County publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. A 600 square foot driveway would land near $1,050 to $1,950. A coat that has failed has to be stripped first, which adds to the bill. For a figure on your own driveway or deck, call (904) 817-0508.

How long do paver sealers last?

Plan on two to five years. Safe Touch calls two to three years typical for this region, while Unilock, a paver maker, says three to five. Full sun, pool chlorine and heavy storms push the number down. To have your coat checked, call (904) 817-0508.

Do Deerwood homeowners need approval before sealing pavers?

Ask first if your street has an association. Deerwood has a homeowners group, the Deerwood Improvement Association, and a change in sheen is the kind of thing worth asking about. Moving from a natural look to a glossy wet look shows from the street. To talk through finishes, ask for a free estimate.

How long does a paver sealing job take?

Plan on one to two days. Safe Touch says empty joints or a failed coat turn the work into a two day restoration, because the pavers must dry between washing and sealing. A storm can push the second day back. To get a time frame for your home, call (904) 817-0508.

How much does it cost to seal outdoor pavers?

Companies in Duval County publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. A 1,500 square foot driveway and pool deck together would come to roughly $2,625 to $4,875. Cleaning alone is priced lower, and a failed old coat adds to the job. For a number on your own surface, ask for a free estimate.

Can the pavers around my screened pool in Deerwood be sealed?

Yes, pool decks and lanais are commonly sealed. Ask which sealer the contractor suggests for a surface that stays wet and gets bare feet, and ask about traction. Unilock also says to keep sprinklers off while the coat cures. To have a pool deck looked at, call (904) 817-0508.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

Most of the price pays for prep and labor, not only the sealer. Safe Touch prices by the square foot after looking at the joints, and failed sealer has to come off first. Unilock lists sealer at $80 to $150 a gallon, so the product adds up too. Ask what the price covers, then ask for a free estimate.
