Paver Sealing & Cleaning

Paver sealing is an important step in extending paver life and ensuring the color you chose for your pavers will last for years to come. Also sealing pavers will help protect against erosion and deterioration due to UV rays, heavy rains, salt, mold and normal traffic.

Most Tampa homes have concrete pavers installed for driveways and pool decks. Our Tampa paver sealing service will bring back the natural color and help protect your investment. The color in pavers is a pigment that the manufacture adds to the concrete, over time if not sealed properly these pavers will fade due to exposure.

Paver Cleaning

Because pavers are porous dirt and grime gets embedded in the pavers and must be cleaned before sealing. At Tekdecks we use a heated pressure washing system that uses 220° heated water. Using heated water allows for better cleaning and ensures a good bonding surface for our paver sealer.

After pressure washing the pavers we then re-sand the pavers before sealing. Most cleaning and sealing jobs can be done in one day, depending on the size and how much restoration is needed to the pavers. We use the best paver cleaning and paver sealing equipment available that’s why we can provide the best pricing and cover our paver services with a 1-year warranty.

Paver Sealing & Cleaning Steps

  3. Apply Protective Paver Sealer: Protects brick concrete pavers and enriches the beauty of the natural stone and brings out the various tones and colors.
