Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to seal pavers in Hilliard?

A washing company in Northeast Florida publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for cleaning, sanding and sealing, so budget inside that band. A 600 square foot driveway comes to roughly $1,050 to $1,950 at that rate. A price guide from another company says bids under $1 per square foot usually skip prep, so ask what a low number leaves out. For a figure on your own pavers, send in the short form.

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, when the color has faded, algae has moved in or the joints have emptied. A washing company in Northeast Florida says summer storms pull sand from driveways and pool decks, and a coat helps the sand stay where it belongs. The cost of that protection is another coat down the road. Wondering if yours are due? Call (904) 980-0807 and describe them.

What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?

Companies around Northeast Florida post $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot when the price covers cleaning, new sand and sealer together. Small areas cost more per foot and big driveways less, since one price guide lists $2.50 to $3.25 for jobs under 300 square feet and $1.50 to $2.50 for 800 to 1,200 square feet. Stripping old sealer and replacing sand add to that. To see where your Hilliard home falls, send in the short form.

How often do pavers need to be resealed near Hilliard?

Expect three to five years from a coat, which is the span Unilock, a paver maker, gives. A Northeast Florida price guide puts driveways and pool decks nearer three and shaded patios nearer five. A washing company says full sun and storms can push it toward two. Water that soaks in instead of beading is the sign a coat is worn. To have yours checked, call (904) 980-0807.

Will the sandy ground around Hilliard cause trouble for sealed pavers?

Sealer cannot fix a paver that has sunk or rocks underfoot, so those get leveled first. Nassau County's flatwoods soil is sand, and USDA describes one flatwoods soil there, the Kingsferry series, as poorly drained sand with a water table within 12 inches of the surface for two to six months. A base on ground like that needs a look before any coat goes down. To have a contractor check, send in the short form.

How much does it cost to seal a pool deck?

A Northeast Florida price guide lists pool decks at $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, which puts a 400 square foot deck near $600 to $1,200. The same guide says most pool decks get a penetrating sealer because it keeps traction when wet, and that product costs less up front but wears out sooner. Stripping an old coat or replacing sand adds to the total. For a number on your own deck, send in the short form.

Do pine needles and pollen hurt sealed pavers around Hilliard?

They do not hurt a sealed surface, but they still land on it. Sealing makes later cleanings easier, while needles packed into the joints have to be cleared before any new sand or coat goes in. UF/IFAS says pine pollen lays on thick as yellow dust, with tree pollen peaking in March and April. To plan around it, call (904) 980-0807.

How long does paver sealing take at a Hilliard home?

Plan on one to two days. A Northeast Florida washing company says empty joints or failed sealer turn a job into a two day restoration, because the pavers must dry between the wash and the coat. Unilock asks for 24 to 48 hours of clear skies before sealing, so a stormy week can move the date. To ask about timing for your pavers, call (904) 980-0807.
