Premier Coatings 7-Step Process for Brick Paver Sealing and Restoration

Brick pavers are a timeless addition to any outdoor space, offering both beauty and functionality. However, over time, weather, traffic, and natural elements can take a toll, leaving them dull, uneven, and vulnerable. At Premier Coatings, our 7-step process is designed to restore, protect, and enhance your brick pavers, ensuring long-lasting durability and beauty. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our comprehensive approach:

1. Deep Cleaning & Pressure Washing the Surface

Every successful restoration begins with a deep clean. Over time, dirt, grime, and organic buildup can dull the surface of your brick pavers, reducing their visual appeal. We use high-pressure washing equipment to:

Remove embedded dirt, algae, and stains.
Prepare the surface for effective sealing.
Ensure every paver is clean and free of debris.

This step is critical for achieving a smooth, even surface and ensuring the sealer adheres properly for long-term results.

2. Application of Algaecide

Florida’s humid climate often fosters the growth of algae, mold, and mildew, particularly in shaded or damp areas. These organisms can stain the pavers and make the surface slippery and unsafe.

We apply a high-quality algaecide to kill existing growth.
The treatment penetrates the pavers to prevent regrowth.
It ensures a healthier and more hygienic outdoor environment.

This step not only restores the paver’s cleanliness but also adds an extra layer of protection against future infestations.

3. Rinsing the Surface

Once the cleaning and algaecide application are complete, it’s time to rinse. This step ensures that:

All dirt, debris, and cleaning agents are thoroughly removed.
The surface is spotless and ready for the next steps.
No residue interferes with the adhesion of the sealer or sand.

A clean slate is essential for achieving flawless results during the sealing process.

4. Re-Sanding the Paver Joints

Over time, the sand between paver joints erodes due to weather, traffic, and natural wear. This erosion can cause:

Instability, leading to shifting or uneven pavers.
Weed growth that disrupts the appearance and alignment.

We address this by refilling the joints with nutrient-free silica sand, which:

Stabilizes the pavers, ensuring they stay in place.
Prevents weed growth and adds structural integrity.
Creates a clean and uniform look.

This step is crucial for the longevity and aesthetic of your brick pavers.

5. Cleaning Up the Surface

After re-sanding, the surface may have excess sand or debris. We perform a meticulous cleanup to:

Remove any leftover sand, dirt, or particles.
Leave the surface smooth and prepared for sealing.
Ensure no imperfections compromise the final results.

This step guarantees a pristine workspace, setting the stage for the sealing process.

6. Inspection and Final Cleanup

Before sealing, a thorough inspection is conducted to:

Check for any uneven pavers, cracks, or missed areas.
Ensure the joints are properly filled and the surface is clean.
Make any necessary adjustments for perfection.

Final cleanup eliminates any minor imperfections, leaving your pavers fully prepped for the sealing phase.

7. Heavy Flood Coat of Sealer: Saturating the Surface

The sealing process is the final and most important step. We apply a heavy, saturating flood coat of premium paver sealer to:

Enhance the natural color and texture of the pavers.
Protect against UV rays, stains, moisture, and wear.
Create a polished finish that is both beautiful and durable.

This protective layer not only revives the pavers’ vibrancy but also ensures they remain low-maintenance for years to come.
