If your pavers look tired, they probably aren't worn out. Most pavers that look faded, stained, or weedy can be restored to look close to new. Paver restoration combines everything your pavers need in one visit.
What Is Paver Restoration?
Paver restoration is the full process of bringing worn pavers back to like-new condition without replacing them. A complete paver restoration includes a deep cleaning, stain and old sealer removal, repairs to sunken or broken pavers, fresh joint sand, and a new protective sealer. It costs a fraction of new pavers and usually takes one to two days.
Signs Your Pavers Need Restoration
- Faded or chalky color
- Weeds, ant hills, and empty joints
- Black mildew, green algae, or rust stains
- Sunken spots or loose edges
- Old sealer that's peeling, white, or blotchy
Our Paver Restoration Process
- Repairs first. Sunken or broken pavers are fixed through our paver repairs and leveling service with top-rated local installers.
- Strip failed sealer if needed with brick paver stripping.
- Deep clean with commercial surface cleaners and treat stains.
- Wet-sand the joints with ASTM C144 joint sand for tight compaction.
- Seal with a joint-stabilizing Trident sealer in the finish you choose.
Restore, Don't Replace
Replacing pavers is expensive and disruptive. If the base is sound, restoration gives you a fresh look and years of protection for far less. For bigger projects that include travertine, walls, and coping, see exterior hardscape restoration.
Paver Restoration vs. Replacement
| Item | Restoration | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| What happens | Clean, repair, re-sand, and seal the pavers you have | Tear out and install new pavers and base |
| Typical time | 1 to 2 days for most homes | Several days to weeks |
| Typical cost in Tampa Bay | About $3.00 to $5.00 per sq ft when stripping and full restoration are needed; less for a standard clean and seal | Many times more per square foot |
| Best when | Pavers are faded, stained, weedy, or have a failed sealer | Pavers are crumbling or the base has failed everywhere |

Customer Reviews: Paver Restoration
We hired them after seeing the quality of their work at several of our neighbors.
They even had to strip off the old, incompletely applied, sealant first, in order to ensure that the new sealant would last and would look good.
We were very pleased with the end result and found them to be very professional and knowledgeable.
Sam and Steve are the best in the area at what they do. We used another paver company when we had to have our pavers repaired and they would only do it if they could seal it too. Long story short after peeling sealant and it being slippery as ice, we called Sam and Steve. They had to use a stripping compound to remove the old before sealing our pavers. Learn from us....use the best company in the area Paver Sealing Florida. Their workmanship and effort to detail is a joy to watch. You won't regret calling Sam and Steve.
I highly recommend Sam and Steve for any paver cleaning and sealing work you may need. One thing I really appreciate is their explanation of all the work they will perform prior to giving an estimate. They have very fair pricing!! The work was phenomenal my travertine pool deck is 17 years old they cleaned and stripped off the old sealer and resealed and it looks like I have a brand NEW pool deck again!! Give them a call!!

What does paver restoration include?
A deep clean, stain treatment, any needed repairs or re-leveling, fresh joint sand, and a joint-stabilizing sealer. If old sealer has failed, it's stripped first.

Yes. Cleaning removes the dull film, and a color-enhancing or wet-look sealer brings back much of the original color.
How do you fix sunken pavers?
We work with the highest rated local paver installers to lift, rebuild the base, and reset pavers level before we sand and seal.

Usually 2 to 5 years in Tampa Bay, depending on sun, traffic, and maintenance.
