Paver Sealing in Winter Park: Protecting Brick, Clay, and Travertine

Winter Park has the widest mix of paver materials in Central Florida — and the narrowest margin for getting the sealer wrong.

Between the Park Avenue district, Windsong, Orwin Manor, and the lakefront streets, Winter Park properties feature brick, clay pavers, travertine, marble, and concrete pavers, often on the same lot. Each of those materials reacts differently to cleaning pressure and to sealer, which is why a one-product, one-pressure approach does real damage here.

Material by material

• Concrete pavers: porous and stain-prone, benefit most from a joint-stabilizing sealer
• Clay and brick: rich color that fades with UV and aggressive pressure; needs gentle cleaning first
• Travertine and marble: acid-sensitive and slippery when the wrong sealer is used on a pool deck
• Older brick walkways: mortar and edge conditions matter more than the brick face itself

The mistakes we get called to fix

Cloudy white haze from sealing pavers that had not fully dried. Glossy, slick pool decks where a penetrating sealer belonged. Blown-out joint sand and etched paver faces from too much pressure. Every one of those costs more to correct than doing it right the first time.

How we approach a Winter Park job

We identify the material, test-clean an inconspicuous area, use calibrated pressure rather than maximum pressure, allow full dry time, resand where the joints call for it, and match the sealer and finish level to the surface and how it is used. Pool decks get slip resistance as a requirement, not an afterthought.

Planning the cost

As a rough guide, washing is about $0.25 per square foot, resanding about $0.75, and sealing about $1.80, with a $200 job minimum. Premium materials are quoted after we see them in person, which is exactly what the free inspection is for.
