Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

For most faded or sandy pavers, yes. Unilock, a paver maker, lists fading, mildew and loose joint sand among the problems a sealer helps hold off, and a First Coast washing company notes that driveway aprons and pool decks shed sand in summer storms. Sealing is optional, though, and the coat needs renewing every few years. To find out whether your pavers are good candidates, request your free estimate.

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

On the First Coast, a complete clean, sand and seal usually runs $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot, the range one washing company posts on its Nocatee page. For a 600 square foot driveway, that comes to roughly $1,050 to $1,950. Old sealer that has failed and must be stripped pushes the price higher. For a figure based on your own pavers, call (904) 747-6756.

How often should pavers be sealed in Florida?

Most homes land between three and five years. Unilock says many owners reapply on that schedule, and a Jacksonville resealing company plans on about three to four years for Florida surfaces, sooner with full sun, pool chemicals and heavy irrigation. A yearly look is smart, but a yearly coat is not needed. To have your current coat checked, call (904) 747-6756.

Is it worth it to seal pavers?

It tends to pay off where pavers get daily use. Unilock says a sealed surface sweeps and rinses clean more easily, keeps its joint sand firmer and holds more of its color. It will not fix a sunken base or poor drainage, so those repairs come first. To weigh it for your own driveway or lanai, request your free estimate.

Do I need HOA approval to seal pavers in Nocatee?

Check before you book. The Crosswater at Nocatee design manual, which covers Freedom Landing, Heritage Trace and Liberty Cove, asks owners to get approval for driveway changes that can be seen from the road, and other Nocatee associations keep their own manuals. A plain reseal may not count as a change, while a switch to a glossy wet look might. To get finish samples you can show your association, request your free estimate.

Why do pavers in Nocatee get orange stains?

Irrigation water is the usual cause. The Crosswater manual names reuse water from JEA as the only irrigation source in that village, and a First Coast washing company traces orange marks on concrete, stucco and garage doors to well or reclaimed water. Those marks need a rust treatment, since more pressure will not lift them. To have the stains looked at, call (904) 747-6756.

How much does it cost to have your pavers sealed?

Size sets most of the price. At $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot, a 300 square foot patio runs about $525 to $975, and a 1,000 square foot pool deck about $1,750 to $3,250. A Jacksonville resealing company that covers Nocatee lists resealing from $1.50 per square foot when the old coat is still sound. For a price on your home, request your free estimate.

How long does a paver sealing job take in Nocatee?

Most homes take one or two days. A First Coast washing company calls sand and seal a two-day job when the joints are empty, because the pavers have to dry after the wash before sealer goes on. Cars usually stay off for 48 to 72 hours afterward, a Jacksonville resealing company says. To plan the work around your week, call (904) 747-6756.
