Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a contractor reach me in St. Johns?

Expect a reply within 1 business day, and usually much sooner. Your request goes to a contractor who covers St. Johns, who then sets a time to see the pavers. The estimate is free, and you can say no. To get the ball rolling today, call (904) 552-3813.

Why do pavers in newer St. Johns neighborhoods need care so soon?

New construction leaves a mess behind. A washing company that works in St. Johns says new pavers often carry mortar haze, young landscaping brings irrigation rust, and joints in the newer communities give out fast. Sealing over haze traps the problem, so the first cleaning matters most. To have new pavers looked at, request your free quote.

Should I check with my HOA before sealing?

Yes, if you live in an association. A washing company that works here describes St. Johns County as the place where Jacksonville ends and the HOAs begin. Going from a natural look to a high gloss is the kind of change a board may want to review first. To talk through finish choices, call (904) 552-3813.

Does sealing protect pavers from the Florida sun?

Yes, it helps. A Jacksonville paver company that works in ZIP 32259 says unsealed pavers fade and their smooth top layer wears until small stones show, while a color-enhancing sealer restores color and shields the surface from sun and rain. Plan on renewing the coat every few years. To get a price on yours, request your free quote.

How much does it cost to seal pavers in Florida?

In St. Johns County, plan on $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot for a wash and seal package, the range a St. Augustine company serving the county publishes. An 800 square foot St. Johns driveway comes to about $1,200 to $2,400 at that rate. Repairs and stripping old sealer cost extra.

How often should you reseal pavers in Florida?

Unilock's general guide is every three to five years. A St. Johns County washing company recommends every two to three years for steady protection. Full sun, sprinklers and car traffic push a coat toward the short end.

Can I pressure wash my paver patio?

A paver patio can be pressure washed before sealing, as long as the pressure stays moderate. Western Interlock, a paver company, suggests about 1,500 PSI, and the joints will need fresh sand afterward. The pavers also have to dry fully before any sealer goes on.

What do professionals use to seal pavers?

Most use a water-based or solvent-based sealer made for pavers. A St. Johns County washing company offers both types, and a Jacksonville paver company that works in ZIP 32259 uses a two-part water-based urethane. Ask for the product name and data sheet before work begins.
