A 3-step restoration — clean, sand, and seal — that protects and transforms driveways, patios, and pool decks for years.
Protect your paver investment from stains, weeds, fading, and Florida's brutal sun.
Pavers are an investment — and without proper sealing, they stain, fade, grow weeds between joints, and become slippery with algae. Our 3-step paver restoration process (clean, sand, seal) doesn't just protect your pavers — it transforms them. We've restored hundreds of driveways, patios, pool decks, and walkways across Tampa Bay, and the results speak for themselves.
Step 1 is thorough pressure washing to remove all dirt, algae, mildew, and old sealer. Step 2 is polymeric sand application to stabilize joints, prevent weed growth, and lock pavers in place. Step 3 is professional-grade sealer application — we use penetrating or wet-look sealers depending on your preference. The finish lasts 2–4 years and makes future cleaning dramatically easier.

Everything you need to know before sealing your pavers.
A standard 2-car driveway typically takes 4–6 hours for the full clean, sand, and seal process. We need pavers to be completely dry before sealing, so same-day completion requires early morning start times or is scheduled across two days if rain is in the forecast.
In Florida's climate, professional-grade sealer typically lasts 2–4 years before re-sealing is recommended. UV exposure and heavy traffic accelerate wear.
Penetrating (or natural look) sealer soaks into the paver and provides protection without changing the paver's appearance. Wet-look sealer sits on top of the paver and creates a glossy, enhanced-color finish. We'll show you samples before you decide.
Yes — we include polymeric sand joint restoration in our standard paver sealing service. This is critical. Old sand washes out over time, allowing weeds to grow between joints and pavers to shift. Fresh polymeric sand stabilizes joints and inhibits weed growth.
Sealing over stains locks them in. We perform a thorough pressure wash and spot-treat stains before sealing. Most stains come out completely. Deep oil stains may require additional pre-treatment. We'll identify any concerns before we seal.

Four reasons Tampa Bay property owners pick us for this service specifically.
Some homeowners want the rich wet-look sheen; others prefer a natural matte finish. We offer both, show you sample panels before sealing, and apply the finish you chose — not whatever we have in the truck.
Regular silica sand washes out in Florida rain within months. Polymeric sand locks into place when activated and stays put for years. This is a non-negotiable for a lasting paver job — we use it on every seal.
Pavers must be fully dry before sealing or you trap moisture under the sealer and it fogs. We clean on visit one, return 24–48 hours later to seal. Some companies rush same-day; results show within six months.
Not all sealers handle Tampa Bay UV and heat. We use penetrating sealers engineered for Florida climate — no yellowing, no flaking, no peeling after a summer of 95°F and daily rain.
Florida's sun, humidity, and daily summer rain are brutal on unsealed pavers. UV fades the color within 12–18 months; rainwater washes out joint sand; algae colonizes porous surfaces. A properly sealed paver driveway or pool deck holds color, resists staining, and keeps joints intact for 3–5 years before needing resealing.
HOA-managed paver pool decks and driveways — common in Westchase, Lansbrook, Bloomingdale, and Trinity — often have appearance standards that apply to sealer condition. A faded or uneven paver hardscape can draw HOA letters just as fast as dirty siding.
We service paver sealing across:
"Our paver driveway had faded to tan after five Florida summers. JAB cleaned and sealed it with the wet-look sealer and suddenly the colors were back — reds, browns, the whole original look."
"The big difference: JAB uses polymeric sand. The company before them used regular sand and it washed out in the first heavy rain. Two years with JAB and the joints still look perfect."
"We have a paver pool deck that was getting slippery from algae. Clean, re-sand, seal — and it has held up through two full rainy seasons. Worth every dollar."
Pricing includes cleaning, polymeric sand, sealer, and application. Color enhancer (wet-look) is included at no extra charge.

Straight answers to what Tampa Bay homeowners actually ask us about paver sealing.
If you want them to keep their color, resist stains, and keep joint sand from washing out — yes. Unsealed pavers in Florida fade noticeably in 12–18 months, lose joint sand every rainy season, and become an algae magnet. Sealing protects the investment.
3–5 years for most Tampa Bay residential driveways and pool decks, assuming normal use. Areas with heavy sun exposure or constant foot traffic (pool coping, main walkway) may need resealing closer to 3 years; shaded driveways can stretch to 5+.
Wet-look sealers leave a glossy sheen and deepen the paver color — like the look right after rain. Natural sealers protect without changing the appearance. Both use the same protection chemistry; it's purely aesthetic preference. We'll show sample panels before you decide.
Foot traffic: 24 hours. Vehicle traffic: 48–72 hours depending on temperature and humidity. We schedule jobs so you're not locked out for a weekend — most driveways seal Friday afternoon and are ready for the car by Monday morning.
Sometimes — depends on what's already on there. Previous wet-look sealers often need to be stripped before re-sealing, or you'll get uneven absorption. We inspect during the estimate and tell you honestly what prep is required.
Yes — paver pool decks and lanais are common in Tampa Bay and one of our most-requested services. Sealing makes them less slippery (specific anti-slip additives available) and much easier to keep clean.
Two visits over 2–4 days. Day 1: clean and dry (3–5 hours on-site). Day 2 (24–48 hours later): re-sand and seal (3–5 hours on-site). Then 24–72 hours of cure time. Total elapsed: typically 4 days start to usable.
