Are you thinking about getting paver sealing for your outdoor surfaces but need to know more about it?
We always appreciate the homeowners who take their time to learn what they’re doing before spending money on various services. Fortunately, we also like to show folks exactly what we do, and why it contributes to beautiful, long-lasting pavers.
Welcome to Paver Sealing 101.
Paver Sealing 101: What it Does for Your Pavers
- Eliminate and Clear Away Contaminants – The first thing you do with paver sealing is clean out all the accumulated dirt, residue, oil, grease, and whatever else is affecting them. We always precede the sealing with cleaning because, otherwise, it would be like painting over a fence without sanding it down or prepping it. Once you’ve done all that, you can use a water-based paver sealer that will protect it against subsequent damage from water, oil, or any other pollutants/contaminants.
- Best Defense Against Weeds and Bio Growth – It not only guards against liquid or viscous substances, paver sealing also prevents organic nuisances from proliferating between your pavers. This goes for weeds, of course, but also mold, mildew, and other fungi. Those are some organisms we have to attack most often with the pressure washing side of our business, and they spread fast on concrete, brick, and other surfaces.
- Restore Pave Luster and Color – Ask one of our folks to show you some before-and-after photos from the previous jobs we’ve done. You’ll be amazed at how much you can improve the paver aesthetic through sealing and cleaning. It’ll look like you restored its original color and luster, which will shine so much more splendid in the Florida sunshine. This is a big deal for homeowners who are trying to spruce up their property exterior before placing it on the real-estate market.
- Protect Better Against Rain & UV Ray Damage – Yes, the pavers will look great amid all the sunshine, but that doesn’t mean those UV rays are innocuous. Thankfully, the paver sealing process also protects the materials from fading or corroding from heavy runoff water or sun exposure.
