Frequently Asked Questions

Our free estimate includes assessing the size and scope of the project, and evaluating the overall current state and appearance of the pavers, bricks or stones. Our proposal will include an all inclusive plan for cleaning, restoring, and sealing your outdoor space.
Paver sealer fails for several reasons. In almost all cases, it’s directly a result of improper preparation prior to applying the sealer, or the use of a poor quality sealer – or both. Solvent based sealers and poor quality water based sealers are not suggested for the tropical Florida climate. This is primarily due to two main reasons:
  1. Solvent based sealers cannot be applied when moisture is present. Moisture weakens the bond that the solvent based sealer makes to the paver, creating airspace that eventually fills with moisture/condensation. This condensation creates a milky appearance to it that blocks out the colors of the pavers. Coastal Florida has a climate with a moisture level so high it’s nearly impossible to seal pavers with with solvent based sealers.
  2. Poor quality water based sealers, and solvent based sealers do not allow ground moisture to escape through the sealer.
Our sealer dries with microscopic pores allowing this naturally occurring process to happen. When moisture is trapped beneath the sealer, it causes it to delaminate from the paver and create airspace. That space eventually fills with moisture, turns white and looks unsightly.
We consider condition, drainage, grade, and prior failed sealer and other potential problem areas.
We are equipped to handle only minor repair work. If needed, we make recommendations for more extensive repairs that may need to be done before continuing.

We know your time is valuable so we try to keep the whole process as simple as possible. First we need to set up your estimate. Our staff will gather the necessary information so we can find the best time to send our estimator out. Once the estimator arrives you don’t even need to be home. He just needs to do a couple test, get some pictures, and take measurements. That is all sent straight to our awesome office manager who will make sure nothing was missed and will email it directly over. Once you’re ready to book, we will work to find the most convenient date with you and go over all the details. Most jobs can be completed in one day, and since we don’t need any inside access you don’t even need to be home. Upon completion the invoice will be due and can be paid, via check, cretic/debit card, or cash.

Efflorescence is a natural process, in which a random white haze may appear on the surface of the brick, which is caused by lime or a water soluble calcium oxide that rises to the surface after repeated saturation’s due to rain or sprinklers. Efflorescence does not affect the integrity of the bricks, and will usually resolve itself with time and exposure to the elements.” The proper sealing of concrete brick pavers can either reduce or stop completely the efflorescence process due to the moisture protections achieved by sealing.
