Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, for pavers that have faded, lost joint sand or turned green. Safe Touch, a Northeast Florida washing company, says local humidity drives algae and mildew, and summer storms wash sand out of the joints. A sealed surface holds that sand better and rinses cleaner. To see if yours are ready, get a free estimate.

What is the average cost to seal pavers?

Across Duval County, companies publish prices near $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the full clean, sand and seal. A 2026 Northeast Florida price guide lists $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot for a standard driveway of 800 to 1,200 square feet. Stripping a failed coat costs extra. For a figure on your own pavers, call (904) 479-0914.

How long do paver sealers last?

Expect two to five years. Stallone's Pro Wash, a Northeast Florida company, gives that span, and Safe Touch calls two to three years typical here. Full sun, pool chlorine and storms push it toward the short end. When rain soaks in and no longer beads, the coat is wearing thin. To have yours checked, call (904) 479-0914.

What does paver sealing cost in Northside, Duval County?

A 600 square foot driveway comes to about $1,050 to $1,950 at the $1.75 to $3.25 range companies publish for this area. A 2026 Northeast Florida guide warns that bids under $1 per square foot almost always skip prep work. To get a quote you can hold up to those numbers, get a free estimate.

Will my sprinklers stain sealed pavers on the Northside?

They can leave orange marks, with or without a sealer. Safe Touch says iron in well water and irrigation causes it, and that it needs a rust treatment, not more pressure. The St. Johns River Water Management District limits Duval lawn watering to set days by address, so a timer that overshoots the pavers is worth a look. To have a stain looked at, call (904) 479-0914.

How soon can I walk on sealed pavers?

A Northeast Florida paver company says to keep foot traffic off for 24 hours and vehicles off for 48. Drying runs slower on a damp or shaded day, so ask the contractor for a time based on the product used. To schedule the job around your week, get a free estimate.

Do pavers need cleaning before they are sealed?

Yes. A Northeast Florida washing company says sealing over dirt or wet pavers is how jobs fail, and that failed sealer is stripped first rather than coated over. Cleaning, fresh joint sand and a dry surface all come before the coat. To go over the order of work for your pavers, call (904) 479-0914.

Is there a downside to sealing pavers?

The main one is the repeat cost, since a coat lasts two to five years. A glossy film can also get slick around a pool, which is why one Northeast Florida guide favors penetrating sealers for pool decks. Ask the contractor about traction before you pick a finish.
