Cleaning, new sand and a coat of sealer restore the color and fill the joints to the brim. Afterward, a hose does more of the maintenance.

About this service
Getting a number takes one call or one short form. Name your street or ZIP and the paved spot causing trouble, and a contractor who works the peninsula sends you a number. The form takes roughly a minute, and you can request your free estimate at whatever hour suits you.
Phoning company after company means voicemail tag while you are at work. One request replaces most of it. If you would rather speak with a person, dial (904) 567-0456.
The guides on this site answer what Ortega owners tend to ask first. They cover local prices, how wet look and matte finishes differ, and how shade, storms and older masonry change the plan. Reading ahead shortens the visit. Already sure of what you need? request your free estimate.
The process has three stops. You describe the area, a contractor comes out to inspect the pavers and explain the sealer, and you receive a price. Whether to hire is your call, and (904) 567-0456 is open for questions along the way.
Our services
Ortega pavers usually need one of two things: a thorough cleaning with new joint sand, or that same cleaning plus a protective coat. Each service has its own guide. Unsure which one fits? Phone (904) 567-0456.
Paver Sealing
Deep cleaning, new joint sand and a protective coat in a wet look or natural look.
Paver Sealing details →Paver Cleaning and Joint Sand
Algae and stain removal, a gentle wash and fresh sand, on its own or ahead of sealing.
Paver Cleaning and Joint Sand details →Washing comes first because sealer bonds to whatever sits on the surface. One Northeast Florida washing company says sealing over dirt or wet pavers is how jobs fail. Joint sand goes in next, and nobody should apply the coat until all of it is dry. Curious which finish suits your home? Phone (904) 567-0456.
Size sets the price, and condition adjusts it. A local washing company lists $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal, which works out to about $525 to $975 for a 300 square foot patio and $1,050 to $1,950 for a 600 square foot driveway. A regional price guide adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot when failed sealer must come off. For a price on your own surface, request your free estimate.
Two conditions can reorder the work. Fresh pavers need time for white salt bloom, called efflorescence, to fade before they take sealer. Pavers that sank or wobble need a repaired base first, and a Northeast Florida exterior company says a coat over a settled spot preserves the problem. Bring up either one when you phone (904) 567-0456.

The Ortega community
Ortega occupies a peninsula on the west bank of the St. Johns River, with the Ortega River running along its north and west edges. Roosevelt Boulevard, part of U.S. 17, splits it. Old Ortega is to the east, and Ortega Forest, which has newer development, is to the west. To discuss the pavers at your house, phone (904) 567-0456.
Development started in 1909, when the Ortega Company, founded by John N. C. Stockton and Charles C. Bettes, laid out a streetcar suburb. Henry J. Klutho's plan included four circular parks and streets fanning out to the water. Old Ortega entered the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 2004, and over 95 percent of its buildings began as single-family houses. Want a price for pavers at an older home? request your free estimate.
Architecture here varies widely. Old Ortega has frame and masonry vernacular, Mission, Craftsman bungalow, Mediterranean Revival, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival houses. Older wood-frame and Tudor homes surround Bettes Park on Ortega Point, and Ortega Terrace is known for big stone and brick houses. Matte sealer stays close to the look of new brick or stone, while a wet look adds sheen. Ask to see samples of each: request your free estimate.
Shade comes with the neighborhood. Oak trees ring Bettes Park, Seminole Park has docks and shade along the Ortega River, and Yerkes Park is another shady spot. Pavers beneath that kind of canopy stay damp, and algae thrives on damp. A home in a local historic district or a designated landmark needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city for site work like driveways, so confirm that first. Phone (904) 567-0456 about your surface.

What do Ortega homeowners ask before sealing pavers?
Price, shade, old-house rules and waterside patios come up most. Brief answers appear below, and for questions not covered, ring (904) 567-0456.
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
Usually, yes, once pavers have faded, lost sand between the stones or begun to go green. One Northeast Florida washing company notes that summer storms flush sand from driveways and pool decks, and a sealed surface hangs on to that sand better. Expect to repeat the job every few years. To learn whether yours qualify, request your free estimate.
Why is paver sealing so expensive?
Preparation eats most of the budget, not the sealer. The wash, stain work, new joint sand and the wait for a dry surface all come before the coat, and a Northeast Florida washing company describes empty joints or failed sealer as a two day restoration. An area price guide adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot to strip old sealer. Want a figure for your own pavers? Phone (904) 567-0456.
What is the average cost to seal pavers in Florida?
Published Northeast Florida prices run about $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal. One local price guide shows $1.50 to $2.50 for a standard two car driveway of 800 to 1,200 square feet and $2.50 to $3.25 below 300 square feet. Smaller areas cost more per foot.

How long do paver sealers last?
Count on two to five years. A Northeast Florida company that applies Trident sealers quotes that span, while a local washing company calls two to three years typical. Sun, pool chlorine and storms shorten it. Have the coat on your pavers inspected by phoning (904) 567-0456.
Is there a downside to sealing pavers?
Some. The job comes back around every few years, a shiny film can feel slick beside a pool, and a coat applied over damp pavers may cloud white. Dry weather and the right finish for each area head off most of those problems. Talk through the trade-offs by calling (904) 567-0456.
Does my Old Ortega home need approval before the driveway pavers change?
It might. According to the city, a Certificate of Appropriateness covers site work like driveways at properties inside a local historic district or at a designated landmark. Old Ortega's listing on the National Register of Historic Places is a separate matter, so look up your address on the city's Land Development Map. Cleaning and sealing pavers that are already there is a smaller step than replacing them, and the city can confirm which one you are planning. For the paver side of the question, request your free estimate.
Why do pavers under Ortega's oaks turn green?
Algae needs shade and moisture. Landscape Ontario says moss, lichen and algae should stay off interlocking pavers unless the spot is heavily shaded, and that treatments hold up poorly where the surface stays damp. A driveway under a live oak or a walk on the north side of the house fits that description. Get a shaded corner inspected by phoning (904) 567-0456.
Can pavers beside a dock or the river be sealed?
Yes. Ask the contractor how cleaners, rinse water and sealer overspray will be kept off the lawn edge and out of the water. Sealer also needs dry pavers, so a patio that stays wet after rain may need extra drying time. Have a waterside patio looked over: request your free estimate.
