Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?

Yes, when pavers show faded color, thin joints or a green film. A Duval County exterior cleaning company describes the county as a humid subtropical belt where afternoon storms feed algae and wash sand out of joints, and a sealed surface handles both better. The cost of that benefit is a repeat job every few years. To see if yours are ready, ask for your free estimate.

How much does it cost to have pavers cleaned and sealed?

Local companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. At those rates a 700 square foot Arlington driveway lands near $1,225 to $2,275. Stripping failed sealer and replacing joint sand add to the total. To get a figure for your own driveway, call (904) 944-6930.

How long do paver sealers last?

Plan on two to five years. Stallone's Pro Wash, a Duval County paver company, gives that span, while a 2026 Duval County price guide says three to five. Full sun and pool chlorine push a coat toward the short end. When water stops beading and soaks in, call (904) 944-6930.

Do live oaks stain pavers in Arlington?

They can. An exterior cleaning company that serves Arlington reports brown water stains on drives and walks under live oak canopy. Western Interlock, a paver company, traces leaf stains to tannins, and a cleaner made for organic stains works better than extra pressure. To get a stained walk looked at, ask for your free estimate.

Does humidity near the river shorten how long sealer lasts?

Humidity itself matters less than sun, storms and traffic, which are what wear a coat down. Moisture does collect on the north and east sides of a home, though, and that is where algae shows up first. Sealed pavers there rinse clean with less work. To have a shaded side checked, call (904) 944-6930.

How much should I pay for paver sealing?

Expect a reasonable bid to fall within the published $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot. A 2026 Duval County price guide warns that bids under $1 per square foot almost always skip prep and may use diluted sealer that fails within a year. Ask what the number covers before you compare two quotes. To get one you can check, ask for your free estimate.

Can I seal pavers around a screened pool in Arlington?

Yes. The same price guide lists pool deck sealing at $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot and points out that film-forming sealers give a wet look while penetrating ones cost less up front. Raise grip with the contractor before choosing a finish. To have a contractor look at your deck, call (904) 944-6930.

How much to clean and seal pavers?

Local companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the whole job. A 600 square foot Arlington driveway comes to roughly $1,050 to $1,950. Stripping old sealer adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot, and joint sand replacement adds $0.25 to $0.75, according to a 2026 Duval County price guide.
