Brick paver sealing is one of the best ways to preserve and protect your outdoor surfaces in Florida’s harsh environment. Whether it’s your driveway, patio, pool deck, or walkway, sealing enhances the beauty of your pavers while safeguarding them from water damage, sun exposure, and erosion.
But if you’ve never had your pavers sealed before, you might be wondering—what does the process actually involve? What should you expect from start to finish?
At Premier Coatings, we work with homeowners across Florida to deliver high-quality, reliable brick paver sealing services that are tailored to your property’s unique needs. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete process so you know exactly what to expect—and how to get the most value from your investment.
Step 1: Free Evaluation and Estimate
The first step is to schedule a free on-site estimate. During this visit, a technician will inspect your paver surface to assess its current condition. They’ll check for signs of fading, staining, joint erosion, mold growth, and any uneven or damaged bricks that may need attention before sealing.
Based on the evaluation, you’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate for the services recommended. This may include cleaning, sanding, sealing, or even full paver restoration if your surface is in poor condition.
This consultation is a great opportunity to ask questions about the process, finishes, or what kind of maintenance your specific surface may require going forward.
Step 2: Scheduling the Work
Once you approve the estimate, we’ll schedule your sealing service. In Florida, weather plays a role in timing—sealing requires a dry surface and a clear window of time for proper curing. We’ll work around the forecast to ensure your service is completed in optimal conditions.
Most residential paver sealing projects take one to two days depending on size and scope. For larger driveways or pool decks, additional time may be needed, but we’ll always communicate the schedule clearly in advance.
Step 3: Professional Cleaning
Before any sealant is applied, your pavers need to be professionally cleaned. Our paver cleaning process involves commercial-grade pressure washing to remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and other contaminants. This step is essential for proper adhesion and a smooth finish.
If there are existing stains, we may apply specialized treatments to lift oil, rust, or tannin spots. Cleaning also brings out the true color of your pavers and prepares the surface for sanding and sealing.
This is not your average hose-down—professional cleaning restores clarity, texture, and grip to the paver surface.
Step 4: Re-sanding the Joints
After cleaning and drying, we re-sand the joints between each paver with fine, nutrient-free silica sand. This step stabilizes the surface and prevents weeds, ants, and moisture from infiltrating the base.
Joint sand also helps maintain a level surface. Without it, pavers are more likely to shift, sink, or crack over time—especially with Florida’s heavy rains and foot traffic.
Once the sand is applied, it’s swept and compacted to ensure a tight lock between bricks.
Step 5: Applying the Sealer
Now the surface is ready for sealing. Using professional sprayers, we apply a premium, breathable paver sealer that penetrates and coats the surface evenly.
Our sealers protect against UV damage, stains, moisture, and joint sand erosion. They also enhance the appearance of your pavers—giving them a clean, bold finish that lasts for years.
You’ll be able to choose from various finishes depending on your preferences, including:
Natural look (low gloss)
Wet look (semi-gloss)
High gloss (shiny, enhanced color)
Once applied, the sealer takes 24–48 hours to fully cure. During this time, we recommend avoiding vehicle traffic and minimizing foot traffic where possible. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions to help the sealer set properly.
Step 6: Long-Term Results and Care
After sealing, your pavers will be protected from most of the issues that affect outdoor surfaces in Florida. They’ll be easier to clean, more resistant to fading, and better protected from algae, mold, and moisture damage.
To maintain the finish, we recommend rinsing your surface regularly and avoiding harsh chemicals. Depending on your location and traffic, re-sealing every 2–3 years will keep your pavers in top condition and help avoid the need for future repairs.
If you notice fading or joint sand erosion before that time, our paver maintenance service can refresh the surface between sealing appointments.
What You’ll Notice After Sealing
Most homeowners are surprised by just how much better their pavers look immediately after sealing. The enhanced color, uniform texture, and polished finish create a dramatic improvement in curb appeal and usability.
You'll also notice that your surface dries faster after rain, feels less slippery underfoot, and stays cleaner between washes. And because the joints are sealed, you won’t see weeds, ants, or shifting bricks nearly as often.
