Who can seal the pavers at my Bunnell home?
A local contractor seals pavers throughout Bunnell, FL, and you will hear back within 1 business day, usually much sooner. The estimate is free, and booking is your call. To begin, call (386) 337-3172.
Sealer deepens the color, helps hold joint sand where it belongs and makes dirt and green film easier to rinse off. Picture the driveway at your place after a long, wet summer, pale at the edges and sandy along the seams, turned dark and even again with every joint full. A driveway takes tires and oil, while a pool deck takes splash and bare feet, so each area gets its own plan. Mention how you use each area when you request your free estimate.
Paver Sealing Bunnell Is Proud to Serve Northeast Florida
What does a paver sealing job include in Bunnell?
A typical job has four parts: the walk-through, the wash, new joint sand and the coat of sealer. The wash usually takes the longest. To go over the four for your home, call (386) 337-3172.
Walk-through
Square footage, sunken spots, loose pavers, old sealer and standing water all get noted before a price is set.
Wash and stain treatment
Algae, dirt and rust come off with a treatment and a controlled wash, and each stain gets its own cleaner.
Joint sand
Dry sand fills each gap so the pavers lock together and weeds have less room to start.
Sealer coat
The sealer goes on dry pavers in thin passes at the rate printed on the product label.
How can I tell my pavers need sealing?
Watch for color that has gone chalky, joints sitting below the paver edges, sand spread across the drive after a storm and water that soaks in rather than beading. A coat in that shape no longer protects the surface. Adding sand early is cheaper than relaying pavers after they shift. For a quick opinion, call (386) 337-3172.
Which sealer type suits a Bunnell home?
Since no one sealer suits every home, ask the contractor which one they plan to use and the reason. Sealers come in two families: a film-forming coat sits on top and gives the wet look, and a penetrating one soaks in and leaves a natural look. Water-based products clean up with water, and solvent-based ones tend to give more shine and need fully dry pavers. To compare options for your pavers, call (386) 337-3172.
Pool decks deserve their own question. A Volusia County paver company lists a non-slip additive as an option for decks, which matters when the surface stays wet. Which product goes on which area is worth asking when you request your free estimate.
Wet look or natural finish: which is right for me?
Choose the wet look if you want dark, rich color with some shine, or a natural finish to stay close to how the pavers looked new. Around a pool, grip matters more than shine, so a lower sheen is usually the safer choice. If your home sits in an association, ask whether a glossy finish needs approval. To see samples of both, request your free estimate.
How often should pavers be resealed in Bunnell?
Expect three to five years from most coats. Western Interlock, a paver maker, suggests about every three to four, and the exact timing depends on how much sun and traffic each area gets. An open driveway under afternoon sun wears sooner than a covered patio. To have your coat checked, call (386) 337-3172.
Does a thicker coat protect pavers longer?
No. Family Handyman says sealing more often adds no protection, and Unilock, a paver maker, links extra layers to patchy gloss and a whitish film. Thin, even coverage at the rate on the label is all it takes. If a quote sells three or four coats as added protection, ask why before you request your free estimate.
What is the right time of year to seal pavers in Bunnell?
The forecast matters more than the calendar. Glaze 'n Seal, a sealer maker, says to apply between 45 and 90 degrees, with 24 hours of dry weather before and 48 hours of dry time if the pavers were just washed or the weather is cool. A Florida summer afternoon storm can push the date back a few days. If your pavers were laid recently, say so when you call (386) 337-3172.
New pavers have their own wait. Unilock says white efflorescence has to clear first, and cleaning it off and letting the surface dry comes before sealing. Sprinklers stay off while the coat sets. To choose a date around the weather, request your free estimate.
Can sealing fix pavers that have sunk or spread apart?
No, sealer will not lift a low paver or close a gap between two. Pavers that rock under a car or collect puddles need their base repaired first, and joint sand only holds once they are level. Find out if leveling is part of the price or billed on its own when you request your free estimate.
Which paved areas at a Bunnell home can be sealed?
A coat can go on the driveway, the pool deck, the back patio or the front walk. Wear is different on each, so the work changes from one to another. Begin with whichever area bugs you most when you request your free estimate.
Driveways
Tires, oil drips and afternoon sun hit the driveway before anything else. Sealing here puts the most effort where cars turn and the joints loosen.
Pool decks and screened lanais
Bare feet, splashing and pool chemicals make a deck wear differently from a drive. Sealing around a pool should leave the surface able to drain, with grip underfoot.
Back patios under oaks
A patio under a tree stays damp longer and collects leaves, so it greens up first. Sealing a shaded patio focuses on the damp corners and the leaf stains.
Front walks and entries
The front walk meets potted plants, mulch and sprinkler spray. Sealing it takes little time, and it is the first paving a visitor steps on.
What causes paver trouble around Bunnell?
Five problems come up again and again: sun fading, green film in the shade, rust from well-water sprinklers, leaf stains and sand lost to rain. Each costs less to deal with early. To learn which of them apply to yours, call (386) 337-3172.
1. Fading on open driveways
Bunnell has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers, and a drive with no shade takes that sun all day. Color goes chalky first where the pavers are unprotected.
2. Green film in oak shade
Under oaks, humid air keeps pavers damp for hours after rain. A green or black film starts at the shaded edges and spreads along the walk.
3. Orange marks from well-water sprinklers
UF/IFAS says most Florida well water is high in iron, and iron leaves rust deposits where the spray lands. Those marks need a rust remover, because more pressure will not lift them.
4. Leaf stains
Western Interlock, a paver maker, says tannins in fallen leaves leave stains when the leaves sit. Sweeping early keeps a stain from setting.
5. Joint sand washed out by rain
A Flagler County paver company says rain removes the sand that keeps pavers from shifting. Once joints run low, pavers wobble and weeds get a foothold.
What does paver sealing cost in Bunnell?
Plan on about $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot for the wash, sand and sealer together, which is what Northeast Florida companies publish. A Volusia County company lists driveways at $1.50 to $2.50 and pool decks at $1.75 to $3.00. Size sets the rate first, and stained pavers, sunken spots and failed old sealer add labor. For a number written for your home, request your free estimate.
Ask what a low bid leaves out. A price well under the published range often skips the wash or the joint sand. Holding a quote already? Call (386) 337-3172 and compare it with these ranges.
A wash may be all you need. The paver cleaning guide explains it, the service areas page lists the towns, and paver sealing in Bunnell is covered on the home page.
| Paved area | Typical example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 300 sq ft | Small patio or walkway | $450 to $900 |
| 600 sq ft | Two car driveway | $900 to $1,800 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Large driveway or pool deck | $1,500 to $3,000 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Driveway plus pool deck | $2,250 to $4,500 |
Math based on the $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot that Northeast Florida paver companies published as of November 2026. Your contractor sets the actual price after seeing the surface. Repairs, leveling and stripping failed sealer are usually extra.

How do Bunnell pavers look after a fresh seal?
How does the paver sealing process work from start to finish?
Five steps cover nearly every job, beginning with a look at the surface and ending with a final walk-through. If you are ready to schedule, call (386) 337-3172.
1. Measure and look it over
The contractor takes measurements so the sealing job can be priced. Low spots, loose pavers, old sealer and any place water pools get noted.
2. Treat and wash
An algae treatment goes on first, then a rotary surface cleaner runs over the pavers. Western Interlock says to keep washing pressure under 1,500 PSI so the joints survive.
3. Spot treat the stains
Iron marks get a rust remover, and leaf stains get hot water or a cleaner made for organic stains. Each is tried on a small corner before it goes on the full surface.
4. Fill the joints
Once the pavers are dry, dry sand is swept in, settled with a compactor or a hose mist and topped off. Extra sand is swept away.
5. Seal and walk the job
If sealer is part of the job, a pump sprayer applies it and a foam roller evens it out, at the coverage on the label. Unilock puts that at 80 to 120 square feet per gallon. Last, the contractor goes over the finished area with you and tells you how long to keep off it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?
Many contractors do both. Unilock, a paver maker, lists a pump sprayer or a foam roller, and a roller pass after spraying smooths puddles and drips. A thin, even coat matters more than which tool put it down.
Why is paver sealing so expensive?
Labor and prep make up most of what you pay, more than the sealer does. A full job means treating algae, washing, fixing stains, refilling the joints, waiting for everything to dry and then applying the coat. Failed old sealer and sunken pavers add labor on top of that.
How much does professional paver sealing cost?
Companies in this region list roughly $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot for the whole wash, sand and seal. For a 600 square foot driveway that works out to about $900 to $1,800. Stripping old sealer and leveling pavers usually cost extra.
How much to seal a pool deck?
A Volusia County paver company lists pool decks at $1.75 to $3.00 per square foot, a little above its driveway rate. At those prices a 500 square foot deck comes to about $875 to $1,500. Ask whether the sealer has a non-slip option for wet feet.
How long do paver sealers last?
Plan on roughly three to five years. Western Interlock, a paver maker, suggests resealing about every three to four years. Full sun, sprinkler spray and daily car traffic push the date earlier, and covered areas can go longer.
Is there a downside to sealing pavers?
Yes, a few. Sealing is a repeat cost, a glossy coat can feel slick when wet, and a coat laid on damp pavers can turn cloudy. A dry stretch and a finish chosen for each area avoid most of that.
How much does it cost to seal pavers in Bunnell?
A local contractor sets the price after seeing the surface, and published Northeast Florida rates run $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot. A 1,000 square foot Bunnell driveway would land around $1,500 to $3,000. Long rural drives add area, so measure or estimate the length first.
Does rust from my well-water sprinklers have to come off before sealing in Bunnell?
Yes. UF/IFAS says most Florida well water is high in iron, and iron leaves rust deposits wherever the spray lands. Sealer locks in the stain, so a rust remover goes on first.
How long should I stay off pavers after sealing?
Plan on a day for feet and a bit longer for cars, and keep the sprinklers off while the coat sets. Surebond, a sealer maker, says most of its products need 24 hours of dry weather. Exact times depend on the product, and its label spells them out.
