Steps to sealing pavers

[@mrdutra86]

Job looks great man. I own a paver company on the space coast and we offer sealing at the time of installation. I've been in the game for 16 years now. My only suggestion is to invest in a better sprayer. SMK and Seal-n-Lock makes one that fits on top of a 5 gallon bucket, 25ft hose and 20v dewalt battery. Game changer. Keep up with the good work man.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Hey thanks brother. Yea I made a 12v pump cart for sealing. Haven't had the chance to make the video of it. I've seen those lids too I think I may build one cause of the storage advantage of them.

[@AttackYakChaos]

What company? I am a foreman on a landscape/paver company. My crew does the demo for the paver install crew and then we also do the hardscape install stuff like paver edging for landscape border. I’m in the space coast. Melbourne. But I live in PSJ

[@justinthomas4815]

I’m going to attempt to pressure wash and re-sand her driveway. As far as the sealing goes does a regular pump sprayer from ace work and also do I need to look into getting a specific tip to attach to the pump sprayer wand? What ratio or brand sealing should I use for a shine wet look. How long does my grandma need to not walk on or drive her car after I’ve finished the sealing of her pavers?

Thank you Sir for responding back. Will definitely get that sealer you use. Probably going to need 4 to 5 gallons. That’s ok. I am also thinking about getting one of those scrubbers too. Or rent one when it is time to clean them again. Thanks for the 20/30 sand suggestion too. Just need sand that locks fast and keeps the mold off the pavers. We have a Forrest in our back yard. I will be looking forward to you next video. I had my house soft washed as well. So elated I found your site. Thanks a again and keep keep up the great work.

What's the most cost efficient concrete sealer ? Or what do you use

[@rosaalba3498]

I’ve been told I should use polymeric sand instead of regular sand. Does someone have any experience with that?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Its just another option of sand. There's no right or wrong answer. It all depends on your climate and also if you have loose pavers.

[@ApplyinPressure407]

Great video thanks for the free game gotna few questions my apologies if you've already answered them? How much sand and sealer do you use per square foot? And when quoting a job by the square foot (I'm hearing $2 @ sqft is average) do you include materials in that price? Thanks in advance!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Idk how many i use per square foot. But a bucket covers about 1000-1200 square ft. And also the sand depends on how big the joints are. And yes the price per sq ft does include everything, labor, and materials.

[@ApplyinPressure407]

@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanks for the response man and in process of bidding my first job it's a smaller ( 350ft) lanai how would you go about charging per ft being that I won't be using the whole 5gal bucket on them?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@ApplyinPressure407 Idk what you're price should be but the smaller the area the more you can charge. Usually for smaller areas like that i gotta get double or even triple my normal rate because it's so small. But since you're new your pricing will vary vastly than mine. Ive been in business for 6 years

[@ApplyinPressure407]

@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanks that's what I was thinking for it to make sense on a smaller area charge closer to $2 a ft vs 1.25/1.50 on a big area !! And doing 2 coats i guess I would prolly go through at least 3 gallons or so correct? Thanks for the info!! Much appreciated

How do you keep the sealer spray out of a pool when the deck is pavers? Our pool and pavers were completed in September, but the pavers have not been sealed.

It's not going to hurt the pool. The sealer isn't being sprayed in the pool. A little overspray may get in there but it's so small that a pool with thousands of chlorinated water won't be affected.

Will sealing prevent rain from soaking through to the basement? I never have water In my basement until I ripped up the grass and put in pavers But I noticed he didn't seal it

How often would you have to reseal to prevent weeds?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

The sealer isn't going to stop weeds. Lots of times weeds grow from from something simple as a seed falling onto the joint and then gets wet and sunlight then boom a weed grows. The sand and sealer slows it down but definitely not going to stop it. The sealer is to protect the pavers, the sand is mostly for stability and slowing the growth of weeds. Manufacturers recommends to reseal pavers usually about 2 years.

[@UnFouRMaL]

how long after the final rinse of the sand on the driveway did you start the sealing. How much does the wetness of the driveway matter when sealing?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I wait at least 2 hours. And it's hard to say how wet it can be. It doesn't have to be bone dry but you don't want to seal over standing water or high moisture spots.

Yes you certainly can do it yourself. You wouldn't need to clean the pavers since they'll be new. Just use a blower go get the dust and anything on top of the pavers.

Does it make a pool deck slippery

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

If done incorrectly it can.

[@angelokings]

Just starting up. Whats the solution you use to pre-treat. I just got a job with those exact pavers.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Pool Chlorine and water

[@brandonfigueroa8140]

Looks great about how much sealer did you go through?

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Just the 1 bucket on this one

[@Ezekial43]

Awesome video, great crew, thanks for your help, can u please leave a link to the sand and sealer you used

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Thank you brother. I dont have the links for those cause i buy them locally. Best thing is to reach out to florida silica sand company to see where they are sold near you, and same goes for the deco products silicast since they only have a select few distributors.

[@Ezekial43]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash no worries, thanks for the videos,

[@unclephi1289]

Im looking to do my first job sealing. Around how much did you charge for this

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

That was years ago I can't recall honestly. I'm I'm Tampa FL prices down here is different than other markets

[@azrak555]

From your experience, which sealer you like best? Great video I wish you were nearby.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I love the 2 part sealers like ureseal and sealthane because of the cost factor and amount of coverage. But deco products makes it super easy to just pour and spray

[@jesusg4746]

Do you have to sand it if it’s not bad or can I just seal it

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Nope. Just move right to sealing

[@jamesryanharbour1602]

Whats your best technique for removing triangles? day 2 day we use the broom to sweep it into the joints and remove most of the sand then come with the blower.... the only thing with the blower is that you sometimes blow to much out and then you blow some sand into another part and form triangles on another part of the driveway... Ive sealed, and have seen brick pavers sealed with sand on top of the pavers and its a headache...

[@jamesryanharbour1602]

Your 2nd house is usually the houses we clean on a daily basis.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I've never gotten that honestly

[@paddletotheclouds3344]

What is the going rate per sqft for a job like this? Great content.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

In my market $1-1.50 a sq ft

[@enricosace]

Great video! It was really helpful. I know that you use Deco Products Silicast. Is there a place to purchase it locally in the Tampa area? I don’t see any dealers listed on their website. Thanks in advance.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Nah not anymore sadly. Nearest are Oldsmar or Brooksville. Or but it online from a company in Jacksonville. They ship it to u next day.

[@enricosace]

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I’m actually two miles from Oldsmar! Can you give me the name of the dealer? Google isn’t giving me anything. Sorry to ask again. Thanks!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@Eric W iWS they're off tampa road by forest hills

Will leveling sand be ok

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I didn't like that sand. But I guess you could use it.

[@darrellgreen4954]

Ok appreciate it

[@julioctorres6450]

Thanks so much for your videos, bro! I wanted to ask, what sealer do you use, and what is the 20/30 sand suggestion? I was reading one of the comments, but I didn't get to see the previous comment you made.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I use deco products sealers. And silica sand is the sand. The sand I use is not widely sold so any silica sand will be fine.
