Question 1

How do I know if my pavers need sealing or stripping?

Accepted Answer

Pour water on the surface. If it soaks in, the sealer is gone and you just need a fresh coat. If the surface looks white, hazy, or blotchy, the old sealer is failing and needs to be fully stripped before we can reseal.

Question 2

Can you seal over a failing coat instead of stripping it?

Accepted Answer

No. Sealing over a failing coat traps the problem underneath and causes the new sealer to fail much faster. The only proper fix is to fully strip the old product and start fresh.

Question 3

Why did my pavers turn white after they were sealed?

Accepted Answer

White or hazy pavers almost always mean a solvent based sealer was applied incorrectly or over damp pavers. The moisture in Jacksonville's ground gets trapped under the sealer and creates the white haze. The fix is to fully strip the old sealer and reseal using a commercial grade water based product applied the right way.

Question 4

How long does paver sealing or stripping take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential jobs take one full day. Larger areas, severe sealer failure, or combined strip and reseal jobs may take two visits. We give you a time estimate when we confirm your quote.

Question 5

How long does paver sealing last in Jacksonville?

Accepted Answer

Our 2-coat commercial flood seal system lasts 3 to 5 years depending on foot traffic, sun exposure, and weather. Driveways and high traffic areas typically need resealing closer to the 3-year mark.

Question 6

Will the stripping chemical damage my landscaping or pool?

Accepted Answer

We protect landscaping, pool equipment, and surrounding surfaces before we start. We never use bleach. Our products are professional grade and safe for your property when applied correctly.

Question 7

Do I need to move vehicles and furniture before the crew arrives?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Please clear the paver area before we arrive. Vehicles should be out of driveways and portable furniture moved off patios and pool decks so we can access the full surface.

Question 8

How long do I need to stay off my pavers after sealing?

Accepted Answer

We recommend staying off sealed pavers for 24 to 48 hours. Vehicles should stay off driveways for at least 72 hours after a seal job to allow the sealer to fully cure.

Question 9

Is stripping worth it or should I just replace my pavers?

Accepted Answer

Stripping and resealing is almost always the better value. Replacing pavers is significantly more expensive and usually unnecessary unless there is structural damage, settling, or cracking underneath. A proper strip and reseal restores your pavers to like-new condition for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
