Protect your investment — brick, concrete, and travertine pavers sealed with professional-grade coatings built for Florida's climate.
Unsealed pavers in Southwest Florida do not stay that way for long. Within a season, algae, mold, and mildew take hold on the porous surface. Salt air from the Gulf accelerates sealer breakdown. UV intensity bleaches color. Heavy summer rain washes out joint sand, allowing weeds to grow and pavers to shift. What looked like a sharp driveway or pool deck when installed begins to look worn, stained, and neglected.
Professional paver sealing creates a barrier between your pavers and Florida's climate. A quality sealer prevents oil, dirt, and biological staining from penetrating the surface. It stabilizes joint sand to resist washout and ant intrusion. It slows UV fading and makes future cleaning far easier — sealed pavers can often be rinsed clean where unsealed pavers require pressure washing.
Rain Exterior Home Service provides paver sealing, restoration, and joint sand replacement throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and surrounding Lee and Collier County communities. We use professional-grade penetrating and film-forming sealers — not the big-box store products that peel and yellow within a year. Our process always includes deep cleaning before sealing, because sealing over a dirty or damp surface traps stains and causes premature failure.
We offer both wet-look (gloss) and natural (matte) finishes to match your preference. Every job includes a thorough inspection and honest assessment of what your pavers actually need.
What We Do
Penetrating and film-forming sealers applied to clay and concrete brick pavers. Enhances color, blocks staining, and stabilizes joint sand.
Learn more →Concrete pavers are porous and absorb stains quickly in Florida's climate. We apply professional-grade sealers that resist oil, UV fading, and salt air.
Learn more →Travertine is common around Southwest Florida pools and lanais. It requires a penetrating sealer that protects without altering the natural texture and sheen.
Learn more →Faded, cracked, or efflorescence-stained pavers restored through deep cleaning, color enhancement, and sealing. No replacement needed in most cases.
Learn more →After cleaning and sealing, we re-fill paver joints with polymeric sand that hardens to resist washout, ant intrusion, and weed growth.
Learn more →Sealing over dirty pavers traps stains permanently. We pressure wash, treat efflorescence, and neutralize the surface before any sealer is applied.

How It Works
We assess paver condition, joint sand status, existing sealer, and staining type before recommending the right sealer and approach.
Pavers are pressure washed to remove algae, dirt, and old sealer residue. Efflorescence and stains are treated with appropriate cleaning agents.
After washing, pavers must dry completely — typically 24 to 48 hours. We re-fill joints with polymeric sand before sealing.
Professional-grade sealer is applied in even coats. We offer wet-look (gloss) and natural (matte) finishes depending on your preference.
Common Questions
In Florida's climate, pavers should be re-sealed every 2 to 3 years. Salt air, UV exposure, heat, and heavy rainfall break down sealer faster than in northern climates. Driveways and pool decks that receive more traffic and water exposure may need sealing every 18 to 24 months.
A wet-look (gloss) sealer enhances paver color and gives a shiny, slightly wet appearance. It is popular for driveways and pool decks where visual impact matters. A natural (matte) finish provides the same protection without changing the paver's original appearance. We can show you samples of both finishes before we begin.
Pavers must be completely dry before sealing — typically 24 to 48 hours of dry weather after cleaning. We monitor the forecast and schedule accordingly. Sealing on damp pavers traps moisture under the coat, which causes whitening and premature failure. We will reschedule rather than rush the job.
We always check joint sand depth before sealing. If joints are low or have been washed out, we apply polymeric joint sand before sealing. Polymeric sand hardens when wet, preventing washout, weed growth, and ant intrusion — it is far superior to regular sand.
Sealing does not repair structural issues. If pavers have settled, cracked, or shifted, those areas need to be re-leveled or replaced before sealing. We identify these issues during our inspection and advise on next steps. Sealing a structurally sound but faded or stained paver surface gives excellent results.
What Homeowners Say
"Our driveway pavers hadn't been sealed in years and looked terrible — faded, stained, weeds in the joints. Rain Exterior Home Service cleaned them, re-sanded the joints, and applied a wet-look sealer. They look like new pavers."
"The travertine around our pool was absorbing stains and looking dull. They cleaned it perfectly and applied a penetrating sealer that didn't change the natural look. Very professional and knowledgeable."
"I've used three different companies for paver sealing over the years. Rain Exterior Home Service is the only one that actually cleaned the pavers properly before sealing. The result is noticeably better and it's held up longer."
