Paver sealing questions

Paver sealing is quoted per property. Square footage, the current condition of the pavers, how much joint sand is missing and the finish you choose all move the price, so there's no honest one-size number. The estimate is free and there's no obligation.

A properly applied seal typically lasts about three to five years in Central Florida. Full sun, heavy vehicle traffic and pool chemicals push it toward the shorter end; shaded walkways last longer.

Paver sanding means sweeping fresh joint sand into the gaps between pavers after they're cleaned. The sand is what helps hold pavers together. When it washes out, pavers shift, weeds root in the joints and ants move in. Sealer goes on after sanding and helps bind the sand in place.

Natural adds a protective coat with little or no shine. Shiny adds a clear gloss. Wet Look deepens the color, as if the pavers were just rained on. Ask to see how each finish looks on your own pavers at the estimate.

Foot traffic is usually fine after a few hours. Vehicles should generally stay off for 48 to 72 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. The contractor will give exact cure times for your job.

Yes. Paver and travertine pool decks are commonly sealed. Ask the contractor which sealer they use around pools and whether it adds any slip resistance.

Many Central Florida communities have HOA rules about exterior changes, and some cover paver color or finish. Sealing usually doesn't change the paver itself, but a glossy or wet-look finish can change how it reads, so check with your HOA if you're unsure.
