Having your pavers professionally sealed creates a significant visual improvement. If you have pavers that are still in good shape then we highly recommend our paver sealing service. The before and after paver sealing pictures gallery below will show a wide range of end results. Let these results help with your decision to move forward with professional cleaning and sealing.
We’ve made a point to capture before and after pictures of old and new paver sealing service jobs to set expectations. You can see that some of the older pavers that are worn down might not exhibit much color enhancement. You will find that some of the newer dull looking pavers might turn out significantly darker and richer than expected. We always encourage our customers to simply pour water onto an area of dry pavers to get an idea of the overall enhancement they should expect. After you have had some time to live with sealed pavers you will understand the benefits.
After 12 years of dealing with my own personal question of how to best seal pavers the right way (especially in Florida), my best recommendations are to always spray apply rather than roll apply. Use water based sealers rather than solvent based sealers. Use urethane sealers rather than acrylic sealers. Most importantly get your pavers sealed by a professional.
What happens to pavers if you don’t seal them? The combination of stains, fading, weed growth, and water damage usealed paves are exposed to can andwill deteriorate the pavers much faster than if they were sealed. This means you may have to replace or repair your patio sooner than expected, leading to additional expenses and effort.
