Paver Questions
Answered

Everything you need to know about paver sealing, paver installation, and paver cleaning in Orlando. Straight answers from Central Florida's most trusted paver contractor.

Paver Sealing Orlando
How much does paver sealing cost in Orlando?
Paver sealing in Orlando typically costs between $0.85 and $1.75 per square foot, depending on the paver type, current condition, surface area, and finish selected (wet look vs. matte). A standard residential driveway runs $350 to $900. Pool decks and larger patios range higher.

Factors that affect price: condition of the pavers (extra cleaning needed adds cost), paver material (travertine requires different products than concrete), and number of coats required. We always provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins. Call (407) 409-9023 for a free same-day estimate.
How often should I seal my pavers in Orlando FL?
In Central Florida, we recommend paver sealing every 2 to 3 years. Orlando's intense UV exposure, humidity, and frequent heavy rain accelerate sealant breakdown faster than in most other US cities.

You need to reseal sooner if you notice: faded or dull paver color, visible oil or water stains that won't clean off, loose jointing sand, or signs of mold and algae growth. The earlier you reseal, the less prep work and cost involved.
How long does paver sealing last in Florida?
Professional paver sealing lasts 2 to 3 years in Florida's climate when applied by a licensed contractor using contractor-grade sealants. Hardware store sealants applied by homeowners typically last 12 to 18 months under the same conditions.

The biggest factors affecting longevity: sealant quality, surface preparation before application, and how much direct sun the pavers receive. JR Paver Sealing uses UV-rated professional products that maximize protection even in Orlando's extreme sun.
What is the difference between wet look and matte paver sealing?
Wet look sealant gives pavers a glossy, high-shine finish that deepens and enhances the natural color. It makes pavers look as if they were just rained on. This is the most popular option for driveways and pool decks where homeowners want visual impact.

Matte sealant provides the same protection — UV resistance, oil repellency, water barrier, and joint stabilization — but leaves the pavers looking natural, as if no sealant was applied. Preferred for formal walkways or when homeowners want a subtle look. Both protect equally well.
Can you seal pavers in the rain or when wet?
No. Pavers must be completely dry before applying sealant. We typically require 24 to 48 hours of dry weather before and after sealing. If it rains during the curing period (first 4 to 6 hours after application), the sealant can be compromised.

JR Paver Sealing always checks weather forecasts and schedules jobs accordingly. We will never seal wet pavers or work in conditions that risk the outcome.

Paver Installation Near Me
How much does paver installation cost in Orlando?
Paver installation in Orlando typically costs $12 to $22 per square foot installed, including base preparation, materials, labor, and edge restraints. The average driveway installation runs $8,000 to $18,000 depending on size and paver type selected.

Concrete pavers are the most affordable option. Travertine and premium brick pavers cost more in materials but add significant property value. JR Paver Sealing provides detailed written quotes covering all costs before any work begins.
How long does paver installation take in Orlando?
Most residential paver installation projects in Orlando take 2 to 5 days depending on scope. A standard driveway replacement takes 2 to 3 days. A full driveway plus pool deck and patio system can run 4 to 7 days.

Timeline factors include: size of the project, removal of existing surface (concrete or asphalt adds time), complexity of the design pattern, and weather. We provide a project timeline in writing before starting.
What paver types do you install in Orlando FL?
JR Paver Sealing installs all major paver types used in Central Florida:

Concrete pavers — most popular option for driveways and pool decks. Extremely durable, wide variety of colors and patterns, most cost-effective.
Brick pavers — classic aesthetic, very long-lasting, excellent for walkways and driveways. We install brick pavers Orlando-wide.
Travertine pavers — premium natural stone, most popular for pool decks and outdoor living spaces. Stays cool in Florida sun. Higher cost but significant visual impact.

We help every client choose the right material for their project, budget, and HOA requirements.
Do you install pavers for driveways and pool decks in Orlando?
Yes. Driveways and pool decks are our two most common paver installation projects in Orlando. We handle:

Driveway paver installation — new construction, replacement of existing concrete or asphalt, extensions and widening.
Pool deck paver installation — new pool decks, resurfacing existing concrete decks, travertine installation around pools.
Patios and outdoor living — outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas, entertainment patios.
Walkways and borders — entry walkways, garden paths, decorative borders.
Paver Cleaning Near Me
What is the difference between paver cleaning and paver sealing?
Paver cleaning removes dirt, mold, algae, oil stains, and efflorescence from the paver surface using pressure washing, soft wash, or chemical treatment. It restores the original appearance of the pavers.

Paver sealing applies a protective coating over the paver surface to prevent future staining, UV damage, and water penetration. Sealing after cleaning gives you both a restored appearance and long-term protection.

We recommend cleaning before every sealing job. When you book both, we bundle them at a discounted combined rate.
How much does paver cleaning cost near me in Orlando?
Paver cleaning in Orlando typically costs between $0.25 and $0.65 per square foot for standard pressure washing. Heavily soiled pavers with mold, algae, or efflorescence may require chemical treatment and run slightly higher.

Bundling cleaning and sealing together provides better value than booking separately. Call (407) 409-9023 for an exact quote based on your paver type and square footage.
Can you remove mold and algae from pavers in Orlando?
Yes. Mold and algae removal is one of our most common paver cleaning services in Orlando. Florida's humidity creates perfect conditions for mold and algae growth — especially on shaded pavers or pool decks that stay moist.

We use a combination of pressure washing and targeted mold/algae treatment to completely eliminate growth. Sealing the pavers afterward significantly reduces how quickly mold returns, as sealed surfaces repel moisture and don't allow the same organic growth.
What is efflorescence and can it be removed from pavers?
Efflorescence is a white, chalky residue that appears on the surface of pavers and concrete as water moves through the material and deposits calcium carbonate salts on the surface. It is extremely common in Orlando's wet climate, especially in the first 1 to 2 years after installation.

Yes — efflorescence can be removed. We use a specialized efflorescence remover (acid wash at the appropriate dilution) followed by thorough rinsing and neutralizing. After cleaning, we recommend sealing to minimize recurrence. This is a standard part of our paver restoration Orlando service.
