Is sealing brick different from sealing concrete pavers?
It can be. Unilock cautions that products suited to concrete pavers may not suit brick or natural stone, because they absorb at different rates. The wrong match can leave a cloudy film or uneven color. Ask the contractor to name the product and say why it fits brick when you ask for a free estimate.
A test patch is a good sign. Unilock says to try the sealer on a small area first, since sealer cannot be washed off once it is down. A tidy contractor will offer it without being asked. To book one, call (386) 977-8354.
Why do old brick pavers look dull or hazy?
Three causes are common. Sun fades the color, damp air feeds mildew, and salts rise to the surface as a white bloom. A Southwest Florida cleaning company says UV breaks down pigment and humidity feeds mold and algae. Unilock adds that a whitish film appears when moisture is trapped under a coat. To work out which one you have, call (386) 977-8354.
Telling them apart matters. Fading needs color back, algae needs a wash and efflorescence needs time. A contractor who looks first prices the job more truthfully. Point out the dull spots when you ask for a free estimate.
How gentle does the wash on brick need to be?
Gentler than many people expect. Unilock advises a fan nozzle at a 30 degree angle about 12 inches away, and never the high setting. Force can scar softer brick and empty the joints, and new sand is needed if sand washes out. Ask what the contractor uses when you ask for a free estimate.
Why does a lakeside climate matter for brick?
Crescent City sits between Crescent Lake and Stella Lake at about 39 feet above sea level, per Wikipedia. Crescent Lake covers 15,960 acres and is up to 13 miles long, so moist air is a given. Brick in a shaded yard stays damp, and damp brick grows moss first. Describe your yard when you call (386) 977-8354.
That is also why drying time counts. A solvent-based sealer, Unilock says, must go on perfectly dry brick and joints. A water-based one is easier on tools and hardens joint sand. Ask which is planned when you ask for a free estimate.
What does brick paver sealing cost in Crescent City?
No page found gives a rate for brick alone, so the table below uses the published whole-job range. A Northeast Florida washing company lists $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot to clean, sand and seal, and says strip-and-reseal work costs more when the old coat has failed. Brick with a failed coat belongs in that higher group. To get a figure for yours, ask for a free estimate.
Joint condition also moves the price. Empty joints or old sealer can stretch a same-day job into two days, the same company says. To ask how the contractor prices that, call (386) 977-8354.
| Brick area | Example | Clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 200 sq ft | Front walk or short path | $350 to $650 |
| 400 sq ft | Walk and small patio | $700 to $1,300 |
| 700 sq ft | Courtyard or wide entry | $1,225 to $2,275 |
| 1,000 sq ft | Brick drive and entry | $1,750 to $3,250 |
Figures multiply the $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot range from one Northeast Florida washing company. Stripping an old coat and replacing cracked brick cost extra.
Which finish suits brick, wet look or natural?
Wet look makes brick red and rich, and natural keeps the faded look it already has. Unilock says wet look deepens color but gloss can be slippery when wet, so brick steps and pool surrounds are better matte. Picture the walkway after a rain before you choose. A sample helps, so ask for a free estimate.
What is the brick paver sealing process, step by step?
Expect these in order. For the plan at your house, call (386) 977-8354.
1. Look and test
The contractor checks the brick, the joints and a small patch for how the sealer takes.
2. Wash gently
A low pressure wash with a fan nozzle lifts moss and film.
3. Treat the stains
Rust, oil and leaf marks get cleaners meant for each.
4. Dry fully
Brick dries for several hours in sun and about 24 hours in shade.
5. Refill the joints
Fresh sand goes in, and polymeric sand needs 24 hours to dry before the coat.
6. Seal evenly
One thin coat goes on in a single session.
How often should brick pavers be resealed?
Plan on a check every year and a new coat every three to five years. Unilock gives that span for reapplying sealer, while a Northeast Florida washing company says two to three years is typical where sun and storms are hard on it. Western Interlock adds a simple test: reseal when water no longer beads on the surface. To ask when your brick is due, call (386) 977-8354.
Between coats, a few small habits help. Sweep leaves in fall, since tannins stain, and look at the joint sand once a month. Low sand lets stones shift, and shifting is what chips old brick. Ask for a care sheet when you ask for a free estimate.
Does a historic house change the plan?
It can. Crescent City was settled in 1852 and platted in 1876, and Wikipedia lists the Hubbard House and the Crescent City Historic District on the National Register. Many older homes keep old brick, and old brick can be softer. Tell the contractor the age of the walks when you ask for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brick Paver Sealing
Can I pressure wash brick pavers?
Yes, gently. Unilock suggests a fan nozzle at a 30 degree angle about 12 inches from the surface, never the high setting, and says to replace sand that washes out. Force scars soft brick and empties joints, so ask what pressure the contractor uses.
How to seal your brick pavers?
A contractor cleans the brick, lets it dry fully, refills the joints and then sprays or rolls on one even coat. Unilock names a pump sprayer or foam roller and says to finish in one session. The product must suit brick, not only concrete.
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
For brick, it can be. Sun fades color and humidity feeds algae, and sealer helps with both. Unilock adds that a wet look finish deepens color. The match between product and brick is what decides success.
How long do paver sealers last?
Three to five years by a paver maker's reckoning, and two to three by a Northeast Florida washing company that counts sun and storms. Shaded brick walks sit near the longer end. Once rain soaks in and darkens the stone, plan the next coat.
How much does it cost to have pavers cleaned and sealed?
The published range is $1.75 to $3.25 per square foot for the whole clean, sand and seal, from a Northeast Florida washing company. A 400 square foot brick walk and patio would run near $700 to $1,300. Old failed coats cost more.
Why do brick pavers turn white?
Often it is efflorescence, salts moving out of the material. Unilock says it usually fades in 2 to 3 months and may take a year. It can also be a whitish film from moisture trapped under sealer.
Is brick sealed differently than concrete pavers?
Often, yes. Unilock cautions that products suited to concrete may not suit brick or stone, since each absorbs at its own rate. Ask the contractor which product goes on brick and why.
Does a historic home change how brick pavers are handled?
It can. Crescent City has a National Register historic district and the Hubbard House, per Wikipedia. Older brick may be softer, so say what you have and let the contractor pick a gentler wash.
Will sealing keep moss from coming back on brick?
It slows it and helps it rinse away. A Southwest Florida cleaning company says humidity feeds mold, mildew and algae, so shady brick still wants a yearly rinse. A damp spot under oaks returns first.
