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: 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.

How long does paver sealer last in Florida?

Companies commonly quote two to five years. Expect the short end on surfaces with heavy sun, irrigation overspray or daily car traffic.

Is wet look or matte better?

It comes down to appearance. Wet look gives deeper color and shine, and matte looks closer to unsealed pavers. Wet look tends to show scuffs more, and the sealer chemistry usually matters more for how long it lasts.

Can a new sealer go over the old one?

Sometimes. Water-based sealer cannot go on top of solvent-based sealer. A contractor can run an adhesion test on a small area before committing to a product.
