Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

Companies on the First Coast publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. Bigger areas cost less per foot, so a 300 square foot patio can price higher per foot than a large driveway. A contractor sets the real number after a look at your surface.

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, for pavers that have faded, lost sand from the joints or started to grow algae. A First Coast washing company says sealer works like sunscreen for the color and keeps spills on the surface instead of letting them soak in. The coat does wear down, so plan on repeating it. To see if yours are ready, call (904) 606-1548.

Is there a downside to sealing pavers?

The main downside is that sealing repeats. Companies here quote two to five years between coats, and old sealer that has started to peel must be stripped before a new coat goes on. A high gloss finish can also turn slick on a wet pool deck. To talk through the trade-offs, call (904) 606-1548.

How often should pavers be sealed in Lakeside?

Plan on every two to five years. One First Coast company says driveways and pool decks sit nearer three years, and shaded patios can stretch toward five. When a splash of water sinks in and darkens a paver instead of beading up, the sealer has worn thin. To have yours checked, get a free estimate.

Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?

Many contractors do both. Unilock suggests a sprayer for even coverage and a dry roller to pick up the excess, since too much product can leave haze and lap marks. With a screen enclosure nearby, ask how overspray is kept off the mesh. For a method that suits your surface, call (904) 606-1548.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

The price is mostly time and prep: washing, refilling the joints, waiting for everything to dry and applying the coat in the right weather. A First Coast price guide warns that bids under $1 per square foot usually skip some of those steps. See what a quote includes before you compare numbers. To get one, get a free estimate.

How long does paver sealing take in Lakeside?

Plan on one to two days for a typical home. The surface must be dry before the coat goes on, so rain can add a day, and stripping an old coat or refilling empty joints adds time, per one First Coast company. To ask about a date, call (904) 606-1548.

Can I seal pavers that were just installed in Lakeside?

Not right away. Unilock says new pavers should wait 60 to 90 days so efflorescence can clear, which can take two to three months or up to a year. Sealing over that haze can leave a cloudy film. To check your install date against that window, call (904) 606-1548.
