Can my worn Jacksonville pavers be restored, and how soon can someone look?
A local contractor restores and reseals pavers across Jacksonville, FL, and you get an answer within 1 business day, usually much sooner. The look at your pavers and the written estimate are both free, so asking costs you nothing at all. To get started, call (904) 474-3568.
Restoration is the full return trip for pavers that have gone gray, gapped or wavy. It can mean stripping an old coat, re-leveling a sunken patch, refilling every joint and sealing the whole surface again, all in one planned visit. Tell the contractor how old the pavers are and what worries you most, and ask for your free estimate.
How do I know which kind of restoration my pavers need?
Think of it as a ladder. The lower the rung, the shorter and cheaper the visit, and the contractor will tell you which rung your pavers are standing on. Most Jacksonville driveways land on one of the first three. To have yours placed on the ladder, ring (904) 474-3568.
Rung 1: sound pavers, worn sealer
The pavers sit level and the joints are mostly full, but water soaks in and the color is flat. This is the shortest job: wash, top off the sand, reseal.
Rung 2: failed or peeling sealer
Stallone's Pro Wash says new sealer over peeling sealer traps the problem, so the old coat is stripped first. Expect a longer visit and a higher quote.
Rung 3: empty joints and drift
Sand has washed out and pavers have started to spread. Safe Touch calls this a two day restoration, because the joints must be refilled and the surface must dry before any coat.
Rung 4: sunken or lifted spots
A dip, a rocking paver or a root bump means the base needs work. The pavers are lifted, the base is leveled and compacted, and the pavers are reset before cleaning and sealing.
Rung 5: a field past saving
Jax Exterior Cleaning says full replacement makes sense only when roughly 40 to 50 percent of the paver field is compromised or the base has failed across the area.
Why do Jacksonville pavers sink, spread and fade so fast?
Wikipedia puts Jacksonville at about 52 inches of rain a year, with June and September the wettest months at 7.6 inches each, and describes the soil as mostly sand and clay. Water that runs under pavers can wash away the base and the joint sand, and Jax Exterior Cleaning says heavy Florida rain speeds that up. Pavers that start to dip tend to dip more each rainy season. To catch yours early, call (904) 474-3568.
Stallone's Pro Wash lists the usual causes: soil erosion from heavy rain, tree roots, poor compaction when the pavers were laid and edge restraint failure. Add summer sun, since July's mean daily high is 91.9 degrees, and an old unsealed surface fades as it loosens. Name the spots that bother you when you ask for your free estimate.

What is the paver restoration process, in order?
Order protects the result. Stallone's Pro Wash lists the sequence for a restoration: clean, strip failed sealer, sand and compact the joints, clear extra sand off the faces, let everything dry for 1 to 2 hours, apply a flood coat so the sand is saturated and let the sealer cure into the joints. Repairs sit before the washing when pavers are sunken. Want that sequence for your own driveway? Call (904) 474-3568.
A restoration done out of order shows up within a season. Sand swept in before the stripper residue is rinsed away, or sealer rolled over damp joints, can leave patches that cloud or peel. Ask for the steps in writing when you ask for your free estimate.
What does fixing sunken or lifted pavers involve?
The pavers are lifted and set aside, the base is leveled and compacted, and the pavers are reset flush with their neighbors, Stallone's Pro Wash and Jax Exterior Cleaning both say. The joints are refilled and the area is sealed. Fixing a small dip early keeps water from washing out the base around it. A rocking paver at the front steps is a trip hazard, so say so when you ask for your free estimate.
If a root is behind it, Jax Exterior Cleaning says the root is removed as part of the re-leveling. Cracked pavers can be swapped when matching pavers can be sourced, and Stallone's Pro Wash warns that older or unusual installations are harder to match. Photos of a spare paver help. To describe a lifting patch, call (904) 474-3568.
Do I have to strip the old sealer before I reseal?
When it is peeling, yes. Stallone's Pro Wash says new sealer over peeling sealer only traps the problem, and Safe Touch says a failed coat has to be stripped before a new one goes on. Sealer that is simply worn thin, where water soaks in but nothing flakes, usually needs a wash and a fresh coat. The contractor can tell which you have by looking. To find out which one you have, ask for your free estimate.
How often should restored pavers be resealed?
Stallone's Pro Wash says sealer lasts 2 to 5 years in Northeast Florida depending on sun, traffic and prep, and that it is time to recoat when water stops beading and soaks in fast. Safe Touch says two to three years is typical in Jacksonville, and open sun, pool chlorine and summer storms shorten that. A driveway with no shade is the one to watch. Set a recheck date at the end of the visit, or call (904) 474-3568.
What does paver restoration cost in Jacksonville?
No company opened for this page publishes one price for a whole restoration, because the work depends on what is wrong. What is public are the pieces, so the table lays them out with the two that are never posted marked plainly. Add the rows that apply to your pavers and you have a working budget. For a number that is yours, ask for your free estimate.
Condition moves the total more than size. Empty joints, a failed coat and sunken pavers each add a step, and Jax Exterior Cleaning says cost follows the number of pavers and whether base work is needed. A quote that lists only a square foot rate may be hiding a repair. Want a second look at a bid? Ring (904) 474-3568.
| Piece of a restoration | Published rate | On 600 sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | From $0.22 per sq ft | From $132 |
| Sealing alone | From $1.90 per sq ft | From $1,140 |
| Clean, sand and seal together | $1.75 to $3.25 per sq ft | $1,050 to $1,950 |
| Stripping failed sealer | No rate published | Quoted after a look |
| Lifting, re-leveling and relaying sunken pavers | No rate published | Quoted by the number of pavers and the base work |
No Jacksonville company opened for this page publishes a rate for stripping or for relaying pavers, so those two rows say so plainly and the other rows come from published numbers: Stallone's Pro Wash for cleaning from $0.22 and sealing from $1.90, and Safe Touch for $1.75 to $3.25, all read in November 2026. Jax Exterior Cleaning says repair pricing follows the number of pavers, the cause of the damage and whether base work is needed.
Should I restore my pavers or replace them?
Replace only as a last resort. Jax Exterior Cleaning says restoration is enough unless roughly 40 to 50 percent of the field is compromised or the base has failed across the whole area. A single cracked paver is a swap, and a failed base under one corner is a rebuild of that corner. Pavers that still match their neighbors are worth saving. To weigh the two, call (904) 474-3568.
Can heavy rain or a hurricane undo a restoration?
A strong storm can move sand and push water under pavers, which is why the joints matter. Hurricane Irma in 2017 set a flood record in Jacksonville, and Hurricane Matthew in 2016 cut power to about 250,000 people, according to Wikipedia. Afterward, a quick look at the edges and joints tells you if anything shifted. A sealed, full joint holds sand better than an open one. If water pooled on your pavers, ask for your free estimate.
How do restored pavers look around Jacksonville?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can old pavers be restored?
In most cases, yes. Jax Exterior Cleaning says most damage in Jacksonville does not call for replacement, because single pavers can be reset and the base corrected. Full replacement only makes sense when about 40 to 50 percent of the paver field is compromised or the base has failed across the whole area.
How can I rejuvenate my old pavers?
A contractor works in order: clean, strip any failed sealer, refill the joints with sand, let everything dry and then apply sealer. Stallone's Pro Wash lists those steps, including a flood coat that saturates the sand and a cure that hardens the joints. Skipping the first steps is how a coat ends up peeling.
How much does it cost to repair pavers?
No Jacksonville company opened for this page publishes a dollar figure for paver repair. Jax Exterior Cleaning says pricing depends on the number of pavers, the cause of the damage and whether base work is needed. Ask for the lifting and relaying listed apart from the cleaning and sealing.
How much does it cost to have pavers cleaned and sealed?
Safe Touch publishes $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for a clean, sand and seal around Jacksonville. Stallone's Pro Wash starts cleaning at $0.22 and sealing at $1.90 per square foot. A 600 square foot driveway lands between $1,050 and $1,950 on the Safe Touch range, before repairs or stripping.
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
It is a sound step for pavers that fade, lose sand or grow algae. Stallone's Pro Wash says strong sun can fade unsealed pavers within a few summers, and it puts sealer life at 2 to 5 years in Northeast Florida. Seal after repairs, not before, so the new coat covers the finished surface.
Why are my Jacksonville pavers sinking?
Water is usually behind it. Stallone's Pro Wash names soil erosion from heavy rain, tree roots, poor base compaction and edge restraint failure. Jax Exterior Cleaning adds that pavers older than about three years often start to sink and that sinking worsens each rainy season.
Do oak tree roots lift pavers in Jacksonville?
They do. Jax Exterior Cleaning calls oaks the most common cause of lifting pavers and says roots can reach 10 to 20 feet from the trunk. Roots are removed as part of the work so the pavers can be re-leveled, and a root that keeps growing is worth raising when you request the estimate.
How long does a paver restoration take?
Most residential repairs finish in a day, Jax Exterior Cleaning says, and larger or base-heavy jobs take two. Safe Touch calls empty joints or failed sealer a two day restoration. Stallone's Pro Wash adds 1 to 2 hours of drying after the joints are sanded, so a stormy afternoon can push the sealing step to the next day.
