Patio Sealing
Brick pavers and stones give your patio a luxurious appearance and provide a smooth, durable, and long-lasting surface. However, like any building material, pavers and stone tiles will eventually need sealing. At Keystone Improvements, our certified experts provide outstanding patio sealing, along with any necessary deep cleaning and joint sanding, to protect your investment and ensure you can enjoy your attractive outdoor space for years to come.
Is Patio Sealing Worth It?
Absolutely! In fact, we highly recommend it with every patio installation. That’s because without sealing, your pavers can become loose and unstable. You may also find dirt, ants, and algae attacking the concrete pavers or stonework. Sealing eliminates these issues with an invisible shield that locks the surface components in place and resists the destructive effects of UV exposure and humidity, safeguarding the beauty and longevity of your outdoor space.
Types of Patio Surfaces
Our specialists provide sealing for all common hardscape materials:
- Concrete pavers
- Traditional brick
- Natural stones (like Travertine and Marble)
- Tiles
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of professional patio sealing is determined by several factors, including the square footage of the area, the type of material (pavers versus natural stone), and the level of preparation work required (such as deep cleaning, stain removal, or stripping old sealer). Because every project is unique, Keystone Improvements provides a free, no-obligation estimate.
Signs Your Patio Needs Sealing
As a Central Florida homeowner, several visual clues indicate your patio is ready for a professional seal:
- Water Absorption: When pavers are compromised, they absorb water, which can cause the material to darken due to water stains.
- Fading Color: Your pavers look dull, faded, or washed out due to sun exposure.
- Loose Pavers: The paver joints are disappearing, making the pavers prone to shifting and allowing weeds to sprout.
- Persistent Stains: Stains from fungi, rust, or food are difficult or impossible to remove with simple washing.
Patio Sealing Benefits
Sealing your patio provides many valuable benefits, including:
- Color Enhancement: Sealing restores and revitalizes your patio, giving it a shiny appearance. It brightens the natural hues and undertones, giving the surface a rich, glossy appearance that makes the colors pop.
- UV Protection: Acting like a sunscreen, the sealant’s UV protection prevents the sun’s harsh rays from bleaching and color fading.
- Surface Preservation: Sealing acts as a vital protective shield. It locks the joint sand tightly in place to prevent pavers from shifting, blocking the entry points for weeds and ants.
