Paver Sealing in St. Augustine, FL

Our complete paver cleaning, joint sanding, and sealing typically runs $1.75 to $2.50 per square foot, so a 1,000 sq ft driveway is usually $1,750–$2,500 and a 2,000 sq ft pool deck and patio $3,500–$5,000. Cleaning only runs about $0.30–$0.50 per square foot, cleaning and re-sanding $0.75–$1.00, and stripping old sealer plus cleaning, sanding, and sealing $2.75–$3.50. Final pricing depends on square footage, paver condition, existing coatings, joint sand replacement, repairs, and the products required. Prices are estimates, not guaranteed quotes, and minimum project charges may apply.

Every two to three years for most installations. Florida sun, humidity, and heavy summer rain break sealer down faster than northern climates. Pool decks and beachfront properties in St. Augustine Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach are at the shorter end of that range because salt air accelerates wear.

We primarily use professional Trident Protects products. Hurricane CAT 5, usually the D2 formulation, goes on suitable concrete paver driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks for a natural matte look and joint sand stabilization, applied as a two-coat system. Cyclone is used on suitable natural stone such as travertine. Different materials get different products; we do not use the same sealer on every surface.

Our recommended service is complete cleaning, joint sand restoration where needed, and sealing, because sealing over dirt, efflorescence, or washed-out joints traps the problem under the sealer. Cleaning and sealing without full re-sanding is available when existing joint sand is in acceptable condition, and sealing only may be considered for a surface that has already been properly cleaned and prepared. Every surface is evaluated before sealer is applied.

Yes. We strip existing sealer when it is failing, peeling, whitening, delaminating, or incompatible with a new application. Stripping is a separate service priced on the existing coating, the severity of deterioration, and the surface area; it is not included in standard cleaning, sanding, and sealing pricing. Tell us at the estimate if you have an old glossy sealer and want to move to natural matte, so we can price the strip properly.

For the standard Hurricane CAT 5 system: light foot traffic after about 24 hours, furniture and heavy items generally after 48 hours, and vehicles after about 48 hours. The sealer generally reaches full cure within 24 to 36 hours in good conditions, but temperature, humidity, rain, and shade all affect it, so we give you timings specific to your job. Cyclone on natural stone has its own return-to-service guidelines.

Not with the right product. The natural matte Hurricane CAT 5 finish changes the surface texture very little, and we add a slip-resistant additive to sealer on pool decks and wet areas as standard, at no extra charge.

A natural matte sealer such as Hurricane CAT 5 D2 protects the pavers and stabilizes the joint sand while leaving the surface looking essentially as it did, which suits travertine, shellstone, and traditional looks. A wet look or enhanced finish deepens and saturates the color with visible sheen, similar to how pavers look in the rain. Enhanced finishes are available where the paver material and existing condition are compatible, and we apply samples to your own pavers before you decide.

Yes, and it is very common. We see plenty of original driveways in Nocatee and World Golf Village that have never been touched. If the joint sand has washed out it gets replaced first, but unsealed rarely means unsalvageable.
