Who can seal the pavers at my Cedar Hills home?
A local contractor seals pavers throughout Cedar Hills, FL, and you will hear back within 1 business day, usually much sooner. The estimate is free, and booking is up to you. To begin, call (904) 842-3269.
A fresh coat deepens paver color, holds the joint sand in place and lets dirt and algae rinse away more easily. Think of a long driveway gone gray and sandy after a wet summer, turned dark and even again with every seam full. A driveway carries tires and oil drips, and a pool deck carries splash and bare feet, so each gets its own plan. Let the contractor know how each area gets used when you get your free estimate.
Paver Sealing Cedar Hills Is Proud to Serve Northeast Florida
What is included when pavers are sealed?
Expect four parts: an inspection, a deep clean, fresh joint sand and the sealer coat. Cleaning takes the longest. To walk through each part for your own surface, call (904) 842-3269.
Inspection
The contractor measures the area and notes sunken spots, loose pavers, old sealer and places where water stands before naming a price.
Deep clean
Algae, dirt and rust come off with a surface cleaner and treatments suited to each stain.
Joint sand
Kiln dried sand goes into each gap, which locks the pavers together and leaves weeds little room.
Sealer coat
The product goes on a dry surface in thin, even passes at the rate on its label.
How can I tell my pavers need sealing?
Signs include chalky color, joints that sit below the paver edges, sand scattered over the driveway after a storm and water that soaks in rather than beading. A Northeast Florida paver company says water that soaks in fast means a new coat is due. Adding sand early is cheaper than resetting pavers once they have moved. For a quick opinion, call (904) 842-3269.
Which sealer holds up in Florida humidity?
No one product fits every home, so ask the contractor which sealer is planned and why. A Northeast Florida paver company applies urethane sealers in four finishes, from a high gloss wet look to a natural matte, plus a penetrating type for natural stone. Unilock adds that a water-based sealer is easier to clean up and hardens joint sand, while a solvent-based one needs perfectly dry pavers and joints. To compare options for your pavers, call (904) 842-3269.
A flood coat of urethane over fresh sand is how that same company locks the sand down. Ask what goes on each part of the property when you get your free estimate.
Should I pick a wet look or a natural finish?
Choose a wet look for deep, rich color with some shine, or a natural matte to stay near how the pavers looked new. Near a pool, grip counts for more than shine, so a lower sheen is often the safer pick. To see samples of both, get your free estimate.
How often should pavers be resealed in Cedar Hills?
Most coats last somewhere between two and five years. A Northeast Florida washing company calls two to three years typical, because full sun, pool chlorine and storms that wash out joints wear it down faster. Family Handyman suggests three to five years once the old coat has thinned. Your own schedule depends on sun and traffic on each area. To have your coat checked, call (904) 842-3269.
Do extra coats of sealer protect pavers longer?
No. According to Family Handyman, resealing sooner than needed adds nothing and may leave a film that discolors the pavers. Unilock warns that stopping and reapplying over the same spot causes uneven gloss. A thin, even coat at the label rate does the work, so if a quote sells extra coats as extra protection, ask why before you get your free estimate.
When is the right time to seal pavers in Cedar Hills?
Pick a dry stretch, and not right after the pavers are laid. Unilock says new pavers should wait until efflorescence has cleared, usually two to three months and sometimes a full year. Rain here is heaviest from May through September, so many homeowners aim for a drier window. Newly laid pavers? Mention the install date when you call (904) 842-3269.
Unilock also asks for clear skies for 24 to 48 hours before and after the coat, temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees with 75 the sweet spot, and sprinklers off while it cures. Surfaces that are too hot risk staining and peeling early. To match the date to the forecast, get your free estimate.
Will sealing fix pavers that have sunk or spread apart?
No. Sealer will not lift a low paver or close a gap between two of them. Pavers that rock under a car or sit in a puddle after rain need their base repaired first, and joint sand only holds once they are level. Find out if leveling is included when you get your free estimate.
Which areas around a Cedar Hills home can be sealed?
Driveways, patios, pool decks and front walks can all take a coat. Wear differs from area to area, so each needs its own plan. To start with the area you worry about most, get your free estimate.
Long driveways
Cedar Hills lots tend to have wide front setbacks, so driveways run long. Sealing one that size is mostly a matter of square footage, and it keeps the color even from the street to the garage.
Back patios
Ranch homes here were drawn with sliding doors that open straight onto a patio. Sealing that patio matters because it gets walked on daily and often sits damp.
Pool decks and lanais
Splash water, chlorine and bare feet wear on pool pavers in their own way. Sealing a pool deck should never leave it slick.
Front walks and entries
The walk to the front door picks up soil, mulch and sprinkler runoff. Sealing it takes little time, and every guest notices the difference.
What paver problems show up around Cedar Hills?
Five problems come up again and again: sun fading, sand loss after storms, green film in damp corners, orange irrigation marks and failed old sealer. Each costs less to handle early. To check which of these your own pavers suffer from, call (904) 842-3269.
1. Color fading in the sun
Duval County summers are hot, with a July average high near 92 degrees. Unprotected pavers go chalky first on open driveways, and a coat slows that loss.
2. Sand washing out of the joints
Rain here runs about 52 inches a year, mostly from May through September. Summer downpours carry sand out of the seams, and once it goes the pavers shift and weeds move in.
3. Green film in damp corners
A Northeast Florida washing company says summer storms feed algae. Corners that stay wet, such as a patio edge near a drainage ditch, turn green first and get slick.
4. Orange marks from irrigation
Iron in sprinkler water leaves rust-colored streaks along edges and walls. The same company says more pressure only makes those marks worse, so a rust treatment comes first.
5. Old sealer that has failed
A coat that went on over dirt or damp pavers can turn cloudy or lift. It has to be dealt with before a new one goes down.
What does paver sealing cost in Cedar Hills?
Budget about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the whole clean, sand and seal, which is what a regional washing company lists. Another company in the region lists sealing alone from $1.90. Size moves the rate, and long Cedar Hills driveways add up quickly. Stripping a failed coat and fixing sunken pavers cost extra. For a number written for your home, get your free estimate.
A bid far below that range often means steps were skipped, and prep is where most of the price goes. If a number looks low, ask what it leaves out. Holding a quote already? Call (904) 842-3269 and compare.

| Paved area | Typical example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | Small patio or walkway | $525 to $975 |
| 600 sq ft | Two car driveway | $1,050 to $1,950 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Large driveway or pool deck | $1,750 to $3,250 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Driveway plus pool deck | $2,625 to $4,875 |
Math based on the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot that Northeast Florida paver companies publish. Your contractor sets the actual price after seeing the surface. Repairs, leveling and stripping failed sealer are usually extra.

How do Cedar Hills pavers look after a fresh seal?
How does the paver sealing process work from start to finish?
A typical job runs in five steps, beginning with measuring and ending with a walk around the finished area. To get on the schedule, call (904) 842-3269.
1. Measure and inspect
The contractor measures the area for the sealing quote and notes dips, loose pavers, old sealer and any place water stands.
2. Cover and wash
Plants, screens and the garage door get covered. A rotary surface cleaner then washes the pavers, a method Family Handyman backs over spraying into the joints.
3. Treat what is left
Algae gets a cleaner made for it, and rust gets a rust treatment, each tried on a small spot first.
4. Refill the joints
Once the surface dries, kiln dried joint sand is swept in, settled and topped off, and the extra is cleared away.
5. Seal and walk it with you
If sealer is part of the job, it goes on a dry surface with a sprayer and is leveled with a roller. The contractor then explains how long to keep feet and cars off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is paver sealing so expensive?
Prep eats up most of the price, far more than the sealer itself. A full job means washing, treating stains, refilling joints, waiting for the surface to dry and then laying the coat. A Northeast Florida washing company says empty joints or a failed old coat turn it into a two-day restoration.
How long do paver sealers last?
Plan on two to five years. A Northeast Florida paver company gives that range for its urethane sealers, and a washing company calls two to three years typical. Full sun, pool chlorine and storms that wash out joints push it toward the short end.
How much does it cost to have pavers cleaned and sealed?
One Northeast Florida washing company prices the complete clean, sand and seal at $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot. For a 900 square foot Cedar Hills driveway, that works out to about $1,575 to $2,925. Stripping a failed coat and repairs cost extra.
Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?
A contractor often does both. Unilock, a paver maker, suggests a sprayer for speed and an even coat, then a dry roller to soak up extra and avoid streaks. The skill of the person applying it matters more than the tool.
How often should I seal my paver driveway?
Every two to three years is typical for a driveway in full sun, based on what a Northeast Florida washing company says. Family Handyman points out that sealing more often adds no protection. Watch for water that soaks in instead of beading, which is the sign the coat is spent.
Should I wait for a dry spell to seal pavers in Cedar Hills?
Yes, and plan for it, since rain here is heaviest from May through September. Unilock asks for clear skies for 24 to 48 hours before and after the coat goes on. A summer storm can move the date by a few days.
Can a patio behind an older Cedar Hills ranch home be sealed?
Yes. Patios like that are walked on every day and often stay damp, so they get cleaned carefully first. Ask the contractor which finish they suggest for a surface with a lot of foot traffic.
How long should I stay off pavers after sealing?
Plan on a day or two. Unilock says to allow up to 48 hours of dry weather for the coat to cure, with feet and cars off and the sprinklers shut off. The label on the sealer gives the exact times.
Want your pavers sealed before the next rainy season?
