Paver Sealing
in Lake County, FL
Sealed, Protected Pavers
for Lake County Homes
The strong, year-round sun here is hard on pavers. Over the seasons, it slowly flattens the color and washes the richness out of brick, travertine, and stone, until a driveway or pool deck that once looked warm and deep starts to read flat and tired. Sealing is what brings that color back to life. It deepens and enriches the tone and locks in the finish you choose, so your pavers hold their look instead of fading a little more every summer.
We handle the whole job as one complete service. We clean the pavers, poly-sand the joints, and apply a water-based sealer at the gloss you pick, built to last about three to five years. It’s the kind of detailed project Fountain Exterior Cleaning was built for, and we’ll be straight with you the whole way: sealing enriches faded stone beautifully, but it doesn’t repaint a surface the sun has bleached back to new.
If you’re ready to protect and revive your pavers, give us a call at (352) 989-0241, and we’ll walk you through it.
The Paver Types We Seal
in Lake County
The clean-and-seal process isn’t the same for every material, so we match the prep and the sealer to what you actually have, whether that’s brick, travertine, or natural stone.
Brick Pavers
Brick is the most common paver we seal in the area, on driveways, walkways, and pool decks across Lake County homes. We clean the brick first, poly-sand the joints, then apply a water-based sealer at the gloss you chose. The sealer deepens and enriches the brick tone rather than sitting on top as a plastic-looking film.
Travertine
Travertine is a natural, porous stone that takes a careful hand. We clean it and seal it with a water-based sealer that enriches the stone and helps it shed dirt, without leaving an artificial shine behind.
Natural Stone
Natural stone varies, so we match it to the right prep and the same water-based sealer. We’re honest up front about what sealing can and can’t do on stone that has faded in the sun: the sealer enriches the tone; it doesn’t repaint the stone.
What Makes Our Paver Sealing Different
Sealing is a project worth doing right, because a rushed version doesn’t just look worse; it fails sooner. Here’s what sets our work apart.
A Complete Clean, Re-Sand, and Seal, Not Just a Coat of Sealer
Sealer only performs when the pavers are truly clean, and the joints are properly sanded first. We do the whole job rather than dropping a quick coat over dirt, so the finish holds instead of trapping grime underneath where it will haze and lift.
Honest About What Sealing Will and Won't Do
Before we start, we tell you plainly what to expect: that the sealer deepens and enriches faded color but won’t repaint sun-faded pavers back to new, and that the gloss level is your choice. No surprises, only the result you were expecting.
We Stand By the Whole Multi-Day Project
Paver sealing runs across more than one visit, and we keep you in the loop the entire way, from the first clean through the final flood coat. We’re there before, during, and after the work, so you always know where the project stands.
The Right Prep and Sealer for Your Paver Type
Brick, travertine, and natural stone don’t all behave the same way. We match the prep to your surface and apply a water-based sealer suited to it, never a one-size-fits-all approach that risks the wrong finish on the wrong material.
We Protect the Surfaces Around Your Pavers
Before any sealer goes down, we tape off adjacent walls and garage edges and lay barrier sheets over the grass. The only thing that changes is the pavers; everything around them is left exactly as it was.
How Our
Lake County Paver Sealing Works
The Free Estimate and Square-Footage Measurement
It starts with a call or a message, and a real person gets back to you fast. We measure the project by square footage, usually by satellite through Google Earth or Maps, or in person for a large or complex job. This is also when we talk through the gloss level and set honest expectations, including that cracked or broken pavers can’t be sealed and that severely faded color won’t fully return.
Scheduling and the Day-Of Heads-Up
We book the project for the day that works for you. Because sealing spans more than one visit, we set the schedule around the weather, and a heads-up text goes out the day of each visit so you’re never guessing when we’ll arrive.
Day One, Cleaning the Pavers
On the first visit, we clean the pavers with our paver and concrete cleaning process, pre-wetting and rinsing the surrounding plants as we go. The surface has to be genuinely clean before anything else happens, so this step gets its full attention.
The Full Dry, Weather-Dependent
The pavers have to dry completely before any sealer touches them, so we wait and watch the weather, typically returning about two days later. Sealing damp pavers is how a job fails, so this wait isn’t optional.
Poly-Sanding the Joints
On the return visit, we poly-sand the joints, setting the sand about an eighth of an inch below the paver line with none left sitting on top. That locks the joints and leaves the surface clean and ready for sealer.
Prep, Seal, and the Flood Coat
We tape off adjacent walls and garage edges and lay barrier sheets to protect the grass, then apply a water-based sealer in the right number of coats plus a flood coat, at the gloss level you chose.
Walkthrough, Approval, and Invoice
Once the sealer is down and cured enough to review, we walk the finished pavers with you. The invoice only follows after you’re happy with the work, never before.
Paver Sealing Pricing
in Lake County
Most Lake County paver sealing projects fall within a documented range, with the final figure driven by the size of the area, the paver material, and the gloss and number of coats you choose. Here’s how it breaks down.
- $1.00–$1.50 per square foot; typical projects run about $800 to $5,000 (larger jobs can exceed $10,000). Priced by square footage, this is a multi-day project that includes the clean, the poly-sand re-sanding of the joints, and the sealer with a flood coat. What moves the number is your total square footage, the paver material, and the number of coats for the gloss you pick.
- Bundle discount: about $75 off when paver sealing is combined with another service, such as a paver or driveway cleaning. Just ask when you get your estimate.
- Repeat-customer value: repeat and recurring residential customers can earn a loyalty discount depending on the job. It’s worth asking about when we measure the project.

About Their Sealed Pavers
Paver Sealing FAQs
Will paver sealing bring back the color of my faded pavers?
Sealing won’t return severely sun-faded pavers to their original color, but it deepens and enriches the tone, and you choose the finish. On sun-faded pavers, sealing won’t bring the original color all the way back, but it will deepen and enrich the tone, and we’ll match the gloss level you’re picturing. We set that expectation up front so the result is exactly what you expected.
Can you seal cracked or broken pavers, and do you repair them?
Cracked or broken pavers can’t be sealed, and we don’t perform structural paver repair in-house. Re-sanding the joints with poly sand is part of every sealing job, but repairing damaged pavers is a separate thing we don’t do. If that’s what your project needs, we’ll tell you honestly before we start.
How long does paver sealing take?
It’s a multi-day project, not a single visit. We clean the pavers on day one, wait for them to dry completely (which depends on the weather), then return about two days later to poly-sand and seal; the actual hands-on work runs roughly five to six hours spread across the visits. The dry time is what makes it multi-day, because sealing damp pavers is how a job fails, so we don’t rush it.
What gloss finishes can I choose?
You pick the finish: high gloss, semi-gloss, or matte. The water-based sealer deepens and enriches the paver tone at any of the three levels, so you get the look you’re picturing. We’ll talk through the options at the estimate so you can decide before we seal.
