Brick pavers are a popular feature across Florida neighborhoods, adding charm and sophistication to driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks. Their versatility and visual appeal make them a go-to choice for homeowners looking to create beautiful, durable outdoor spaces. But while pavers are strong, they’re not maintenance-free. Without protection, exposure to Florida’s intense elements can cause them to wear down much faster than expected.
That’s where paver sealing comes in—not just as an aesthetic upgrade, but as a long-term investment that protects your hardscapes for years to come.
At Premier Coatings, we help homeowners throughout Florida extend the life and beauty of their paver surfaces through professional cleaning, maintenance, and sealing. If you’re on the fence about sealing your pavers, here’s a closer look at why it’s one of the best decisions you can make for your property.
Protecting Against the Harsh Florida Climate
Living in Florida means enjoying warm weather and sunshine almost year-round—but it also means dealing with a climate that can be hard on exterior surfaces. Between UV rays, sudden rainstorms, coastal humidity, and salt air, paver surfaces are constantly under stress.
Sun exposure fades the color of your pavers over time. Moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and algae, while salt and chlorine can damage surface texture and integrity—especially around pools or near the coast.
Our paver sealing process creates a protective barrier against all of these elements. It repels water, reduces sun damage, and blocks out contaminants that might otherwise soak into the porous surface of your pavers.
Enhancing and Preserving Color
One of the first signs of paver wear is fading color. Whether your pavers are red, tan, gray, or multicolored, they will begin to look dull and bleached after extended exposure to the sun. The rich tones that once defined your patio or driveway lose their visual impact and make your outdoor spaces look older than they really are.
Sealing your pavers not only preserves the existing color—it enhances it. With finish options ranging from natural to high-gloss, sealing brings out the tones in each paver and gives your surface a fresh, vibrant appearance.
If you’ve noticed that your once-bright pavers are starting to fade, a cleaning and sealing service can make a dramatic difference with immediate visual impact.
Stabilizing the Surface with Joint Sand Protection
Joint sand plays a critical role in paver stability. It fills the spaces between each paver and helps lock them into place, keeping the surface even and preventing movement. But in Florida, rain and irrigation can wash away this sand over time, leading to shifting pavers and uneven areas.
Without sealing, this erosion will continue until repairs are necessary—potentially requiring re-leveling or even full restoration.
Our team at Premier Coatings addresses this by re-sanding all joints before applying sealant. The sealer locks in the sand and prevents further erosion, extending the structural integrity of your paver installation.
Making Surfaces Safer and Easier to Maintain
Mold and algae love moisture, and Florida has plenty of it. Unsealed pavers absorb water and dry slowly, which provides the perfect environment for slippery growths. This is especially common around pools, shaded patios, and walkways.
Sealing your pavers makes the surface more water-resistant and helps it dry faster, reducing the chances of mold and algae taking hold. This not only keeps your pavers looking clean—it also improves safety by reducing slip hazards.
With a sealed surface, routine maintenance becomes easier as well. Dirt and debris stay on top of the sealer rather than getting embedded in the pores of the paver. A quick rinse is often enough to keep the surface looking fresh.
Saving Money on Future Repairs
Sealing is a preventive measure that pays for itself over time. By protecting your pavers from UV damage, joint erosion, water absorption, and staining, you avoid the need for more extensive and expensive repairs down the road.
Many homeowners who delay sealing find themselves needing paver restoration sooner than expected. This may include re-leveling loose bricks, removing deep stains, or replacing damaged areas. With regular sealing every two to three years, you reduce the likelihood of needing these services—and keep your paver surfaces in optimal condition.
Increasing Property Value and Curb Appeal
Whether you're planning to stay in your home for years or thinking about selling, the condition of your exterior surfaces has a big impact on property value. A well-maintained driveway, patio, or pool deck shows that the home is cared for and reduces concerns for future buyers.
Sealed pavers look newer, function better, and help create a polished, upscale impression that buyers notice. Investing in sealing today is a simple step that can pay off in home value tomorrow.

How to Prepare Your Brick Pavers for Florida’s Rainy Season
Florida’s rainy season can be both a blessing and a challenge. While the summer rain brings lush landscapes and cooler evenings, it also poses serious risks to your outdoor surfaces—especially brick pavers. From joint erosion and weed growth to mold, algae, and water absorption, brick pavers are constantly exposed to the harsh realities of Florida’s wet season.
If left untreated or unprotected, your pavers can deteriorate quickly under months of near-daily rain. That’s why preparing your paver surfaces before the first storm hits is essential.
At Premier Coatings, we help homeowners across Florida protect their pavers with professional cleaning, sealing, and maintenance services. Here’s how you can get your outdoor spaces ready to stand up to the rain—and why doing it now can save you time, stress, and money later.
Understand the Impact of Florida Rain on Brick Pavers
Florida receives a significant amount of rain between May and October, and much of it comes in heavy bursts that overwhelm drainage and saturate outdoor surfaces. For unsealed or neglected pavers, this leads to multiple issues that compromise the beauty, safety, and stability of the hardscape.
When rain falls on unsealed pavers, it seeps into the material and underlying foundation. This causes water to break down the surface, wash out joint sand, and leave room for weeds and shifting bricks. The constant moisture also creates a perfect environment for algae and mold growth, especially on pool decks, shaded walkways, and patios.
If you’ve ever walked across a slimy or uneven paver surface during a Florida summer, you’ve experienced firsthand the damage that rainy season can cause.
Schedule a Professional Paver Cleaning
The first step in preparing your pavers for the rainy season is a thorough, professional cleaning. Over time, organic debris, mildew, and grime build up on the surface, especially in cracks and low spots. When the rain begins, this buildup can quickly spread and become much harder to remove.
At Premier Coatings, our paver cleaning service uses commercial-grade pressure washers and eco-safe cleaners to eliminate contaminants at the root. We don’t just rinse the surface—we treat it to stop future growth and restore a clean foundation for sealing.
This is especially important if you’ve already seen signs of green patches, black streaks, or slippery spots. Left alone, those issues will only get worse with every passing storm.
Re-Sand and Stabilize the Joints
Joint sand is what keeps your pavers in place. It fills the gaps between each brick and locks the entire surface into a solid structure. Unfortunately, Florida rain is notorious for washing this sand away—especially in areas with poor drainage or heavy water flow.
As the sand erodes, pavers begin to shift, wobble, or sink, creating uneven surfaces and tripping hazards. Weeds can also take root in the gaps, making your surface look neglected and difficult to manage.
Our paver maintenance service includes re-sanding with clean, silica-based sand that’s designed to hold up in wet conditions. Once the joints are filled, we follow up with sealing to lock everything in place and prevent further erosion.
This small step makes a big difference in how well your pavers withstand storm season.
Apply a High-Performance Sealer
Once your pavers are clean and joints are stable, sealing becomes your primary line of defense against water damage. A high-quality, breathable sealer repels moisture, blocks contaminants, and helps your surface dry faster after rain.
Unsealed pavers absorb water like a sponge. Sealed pavers, on the other hand, allow rain to bead and run off the surface. This prevents saturation, staining, mold growth, and structural damage to the foundation underneath.
We offer a variety of sealers depending on your needs—from natural matte finishes to deeper wet-look options. Our paver sealing service not only protects your surface but enhances its color and texture, giving your home a refreshed look just in time for outdoor season.
Inspect Drainage and Sloping
Before heavy rains begin, it’s also wise to inspect the drainage around your paver areas. Poor grading or clogged drains can cause water to pool, increasing the chance of damage or erosion. If you notice standing water after a storm or sprinkler cycle, you may need to adjust your landscape design or improve water flow paths.
We often identify these issues during our paver inspections and can recommend simple fixes that make a big difference during the rainy season.
Avoid Waiting Until It’s Too Late
One of the biggest mistakes Florida homeowners make is waiting until mid-summer to address their paver maintenance. By that time, multiple rainstorms have already hit, and damage may be well underway.
Spring is the perfect time to clean, seal, and stabilize your pavers before the first major rain event. It gives your surface time to cure properly and ensures full protection before storm season peaks.
Our team serves homeowners throughout Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties, offering fast, professional service tailored to your property’s specific needs.
Be Ready for the Storms Ahead
You can’t stop Florida’s rainy season—but you can prepare for it. Sealing and maintaining your brick pavers now prevents long-term damage, reduces hazards, and saves you from the hassle and expense of repairs later.
If your pavers are stained, shifting, or haven’t been sealed in over two years, now is the time to act. Let Premier Coatings help you protect your home’s exterior before the storms arrive.
