Frequently Asked Questions

How much does paver sealing cost in St Marys?

None of the Camden County companies in the saved Google results lists a price, so the closest guide is Northeast Florida, where companies publish about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. A 600 square foot driveway would run near $1,050 to $1,950 on that scale. Stripping a failed coat adds more. For a figure on your own pavers, ask for a free estimate online.

How often should I seal pavers in southeast Georgia?

Plan on every three to five years, which is the span Unilock, a paver maker, gives. A Northeast Florida price guide says driveways and pool decks lean toward three. Humid summers and sprinklers shorten a coat, and shaded walks can stretch it. Not sure how old your coat is? Call (912) 741-3281.

Is it worth sealing pavers near the St. Marys River?

Yes, once the pavers have faded, gone green or lost joint sand. A coat deepens the color, helps the sand stay put and makes the next washing easier. You also take on a repeat expense every few years. To see where your pavers stand, call (912) 741-3281.

Does an older St Marys home need a different sealer?

It can. The same price guide says brick and natural stone call for a different sealer chemistry, which can add 15 to 30 percent to the bill. A contractor ought to name the product before giving a number. To learn which one suits your pavers, ask for a free estimate online.

Should pavers be cleaned before they are sealed?

Yes. Sealer locks in everything left on the surface, so the wash comes first. Unilock, a paver maker, wants pavers to dry at least 24 hours after cleaning before any coat goes on. The paver cleaning guide shows what the wash and the fresh sand involve. For a combined price, ask for a free estimate online.

Can new pavers in St Marys be sealed right after they are laid?

Not right away. New concrete pavers can show a white haze called efflorescence, and Unilock says it usually takes two to three months to fade and sometimes up to a year. Sealing over it traps the haze. Give the contractor the install date when you call (912) 741-3281.

Does a homeowners association need to approve paver sealer?

It can, when the finish changes. A move from a natural look to a glossy wet look is the kind of change a board may want to see. Read your association rules first, then ask for a free estimate online and ask the contractor for finish samples.

What should a paver sealing estimate in St Marys list?

It should state the square footage, the sealer product and how many coats are planned. It should also say whether the wash and the joint sand are included. The contractor standards page lists what else to ask for. To start, ask for a free estimate online.
