Restore color, block weeds, lock in the wet look.
Professional paver sealing restores the rich color of weathered pavers, creates a barrier against Florida's relentless UV, salt air, and organic growth, and locks in the wet-look finish that makes driveways and pool decks stand out. Our process uses Inseco Sealthane, a commercial-grade urethane-based sealer applied in three coats for lasting protection. Every job starts with chemical treatment and ends with a properly sealed surface built to last two years or more.
Florida is harder on outdoor surfaces than most homeowners realize. The UV index along the Gulf Coast rivals tropical climates, salt air accelerates oxidation in pavers and joint sand, and summer rain events drive moisture through any surface that isn't properly sealed. Without a functioning sealer layer, pavers absorb that moisture, harbor organic growth in the pores, and develop the dull, faded appearance that no amount of cleaning fully reverses. Sealing isn't a cosmetic upgrade — it's maintenance, and in Southwest Florida, it's maintenance that pays for itself in surface longevity.
Our process uses Inseco Sealthane, a commercial-grade urethane sealer applied in three coats rather than the single-coat application most contractors use. The flood coat saturates the paver face for deep bonding. The build coat adds film thickness and adhesion between layers. The finish coat delivers UV resistance and surface hardness that allows the seal to hold through Southwest Florida's heat and humidity cycles. Each coat must cure before the next goes on — rushing any stage reduces the longevity of the entire system.
What's included in every paver sealing job: biodegradable chemical pre-treatment to break down organic growth at the root level, high-GPM surface washing to remove loosened material, a secondary chemical pass to neutralize remaining biological matter, efflorescence treatment where mineral deposits are present, wet sanding to refresh and stabilize joint sand, complete drying time before any sealer is applied, and the three-coat Inseco Sealthane application. There are no optional steps and no shortcuts — the warranty we offer on completed work reflects the fact that we control the entire process.
Southwest Florida's climate accelerates surface wear. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call.
Pavers look dull after cleaning
If your pavers still look faded and washed-out immediately after a cleaning, the paver color has degraded past what cleaning can restore. Sealer with a wet-look formula brings that depth back.
Weeds pushing through the joints
Joint sand that isn't stabilized by a quality sealer breaks down over time, allowing seeds to take root. Sealing locks joint sand in place and creates a barrier that weed roots can't penetrate.
Organic growth returns quickly after cleaning
Algae and mildew that come back within weeks of a cleaning are establishing in the pore structure of unsealed pavers. Sealer blocks that pore access and dramatically slows regrowth.
Joint sand is washing out
Loose or eroding joint sand is a sign the surface has no sealer stabilizing it. Pavers with open joints are also more vulnerable to base erosion from heavy rainfall.
More than two years since last sealing
Even a well-applied sealer coat in Southwest Florida's climate degrades within 2–3 years from UV and humidity cycling. If it's been longer than that, the protection you think you have is likely no longer there.
A thorough, step-by-step approach that produces results that last.
We apply a biodegradable pre-treatment solution across the entire paver surface to break down organic growth, algae, mildew, and staining at the root — not just on the surface.
High-pressure surface washing removes all loosened material, embedded dirt, joint debris, and surface contaminants left behind by the chemical treatment.
A second chemical pass neutralizes remaining biological growth and conditions the surface chemistry so the sealer bonds correctly.
Where mineral salt deposits are present, we apply a targeted efflorescence remover to eliminate white haze before it can bleed through the finished sealer coat.
Joint sand is refreshed and the surface is wet-sanded to ensure proper sealer adhesion and a clean, even surface profile across all pavers.
The surface dries completely before any sealer is applied. We inspect for missed spots, tape edges, and protect surrounding landscaping and fixtures.
We apply Inseco Sealthane in three coats: a flood coat for deep penetration, a build coat for body and adhesion, and a finish coat for surface hardness and UV resistance. This is the coat count that separates a lasting job from a one-season fix.
Most residential paver sealing jobs in SW Florida run $1.50–$3.50 per square foot depending on surface area, paver condition, and whether stripping or efflorescence treatment is required. We provide free on-site estimates before any work begins.
With Inseco Sealthane applied in three coats, most SW Florida driveways hold up 2–3 years and covered patios can last 3–4 years. Florida's UV intensity and humidity are harder on sealer than most other states.
Not always. If the existing sealer is in good condition we can reseal over it. If it's peeling, cloudy, or trapping moisture — which we see often in older SW Florida properties — a full strip is the right call before applying a new coat.
We use Inseco Sealthane, a commercial-grade urethane sealer applied in three coats: flood, build, and finish. It bonds tighter and outlasts the big-box store sealers most contractors use.
We ask for 24 hours before foot traffic and 48–72 hours before vehicles. Full cure takes about a week, but the surface is functional well before that. Cure time varies slightly with temperature and humidity.
