Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, for pavers that have faded, lost joint sand or started to turn green. A Daytona Beach sealing company lists humidity above 70 percent, strong sun and afternoon storms as what Florida pavers face. Sealed pavers keep their sand better and are easier to rinse. To see if yours are ready, ask for a free estimate.

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

Northeast Florida companies publish about $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. At that rate a 600 square foot Palm Coast driveway lands near $900 to $1,800. Stripping old sealer and repairs cost extra. To price your own pavers, call (386) 666-4204.

How much should I pay for paver sealing?

A fair quote usually falls inside the published range of $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, with the price broken into cleaning, sand and sealer. Ask what is included before you compare two numbers. A quote far under the range may skip prep work. To get one you can check, ask for a free estimate.

Can I clean sand and seal my pavers?

Yes, and that is the usual order of work. The surface is cleaned first, joint sand goes in next, and sealer goes on once everything is dry. Unilock, a paver maker, says sealer traps whatever is left on the surface. To have a contractor do all three, call (386) 666-4204.

Does a canal backyard change how pavers should be sealed in Palm Coast?

It can. Palm Coast has 46 miles of freshwater canals and 23 miles of saltwater canals, so many yards stay damp and the air near the water holds moisture. Damp ground favors green growth on pool decks and patios. Ask the contractor how they keep wash water out of the canal, and ask for a free estimate.

Do Palm Coast storms wash sand out of paver joints?

They can. The area averages about 51 inches of rain a year, and storms like Irma in 2017 and Ian in 2022 reached the county. Hard rain carries sand out of the joints, and loose pavers soon follow. New sand goes in before any sealer. To have yours checked, call (386) 666-4204.

Should I check with my HOA before sealing pavers in Palm Coast?

Yes, when your home belongs to an association. Many Palm Coast neighborhoods have one, and a board may want to approve a new finish that shows from the street. Going from a natural look to a high gloss wet look is worth asking about first. To talk through finish choices, ask for a free estimate.

How long does a paver sealing job take in Palm Coast?

Most homes take one to two days. The pavers have to be fully dry before sealer goes on, and Unilock asks for 24 to 48 hours of clear weather around the job. A summer storm can push the second day back. For a time estimate on your pavers, call (386) 666-4204.
