Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, once pavers have faded, lost joint sand or started to grow algae. Stallone's Pro Wash, a Jacksonville company, says strong sun can fade unsealed pavers within a few summers. A coat slows that fading and makes the surface easier to rinse. Ready to find out about yours? Ask for your free estimate.

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

Safe Touch, in Jacksonville, lists $1.75 to $3.25 for every square foot of a clean, sand and seal. At those rates a 600 square foot driveway lands between $1,050 and $1,950. Stripping a failed coat or refilling empty joints pushes the price up. Dial (904) 474-3568 for a number on your own pavers.

How long do paver sealers last?

Plan on two to five years. Stallone's Pro Wash gives that span for Northeast Florida, and Safe Touch calls two to three years typical. Open sun shortens the life of a coat, and shade stretches it. Want yours checked? Ring (904) 474-3568.

Why is paver sealing so expensive?

Mostly because of prep work, not the sealer itself. A job means washing, treating stains, refilling joints, waiting for dry pavers and only then laying the coat. Safe Touch says empty joints or a failed old coat turn it into a two day job. To see what a fair quote spells out, ask for your free estimate.

Do I need my HOA's approval to seal pavers in Jacksonville?

Check first if your home sits in an association. Many boards want a say over changes visible from the street, and a move from a natural finish to a glossy wet look is the kind they may question. Mention your finish choice when you ask for your free estimate.

What time of year suits paver sealing in Jacksonville?

Fall is the easiest. Safe Touch says spring, March through May, fills fast, while fall is the quiet window for a two day paver job around dry weather. Jacksonville Today also reported that pollen counts hit some of the year's highest levels in March 2026. Phone (904) 474-3568 to pick a date.

Do you seal pavers before or after polymeric sand?

After. Unilock says the sand is swept in, activated and brought to the right height before any sealer goes down, and the surface has to be dry. A coat laid over loose sand traps it. Ask for the order of work in writing when you ask for your free estimate.

Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?

Either works when the coat goes on thin. Unilock says to use a low pressure sprayer or a roller, then back roll to even out the film. How thin and even the coat lands matters more than the tool. Ring (904) 474-3568 to ask what a contractor would use.
