Seal and Protect: How Brick Paver Sealing Defends Against Florida’s Harsh Climate
Blog Article
Brick pavers are one of the most appealing features of Florida homes. Whether they form a driveway, walkway, pool deck, or patio, they instantly elevate curb appeal and provide a durable, functional surface. But Florida’s tropical climate isn’t kind to unprotected pavers. Between blazing sun, seasonal downpours, and constant humidity, these surfaces break down fast without proper care.
At Premier Coatings, we specialize in professional brick paver sealing services designed specifically for Florida conditions. If you want your pavers to stay strong, clean, and vibrant, sealing is not optional—it’s essential.
Why Florida’s Climate Is So Tough on Brick Pavers
Florida homeowners enjoy beautiful weather for most of the year, but that sunshine and humidity come at a cost. Without protection, brick pavers quickly lose their color, strength, and stability.
UV Rays Cause Fading
The Florida sun is intense. Without a UV-protective barrier, pavers begin to bleach and fade within the first year of installation. Reds, browns, and other natural tones lose their depth, and the surface becomes uneven in color.
Moisture Leads to Mold and Joint Erosion
Frequent rainfall and high humidity levels allow moisture to sit on the surface, inviting mold, algae, and mildew. These not only make your surface look dirty—they create slippery, unsafe areas around pools and patios. Moisture also erodes the sand between pavers, which leads to shifting and instability over time.
Dirt and Stains Set In
In unsealed pavers, oil, leaf tannins, fertilizer runoff, and rust are absorbed into the surface and can become permanent. Without a sealant, cleaning these stains is nearly impossible and often requires replacement.
How Sealing Solves These Problems
Sealing your brick pavers creates a barrier that repels water, blocks UV rays, and resists stains. It also enhances the color of the pavers, making the surface look newer and more vibrant.
Our brick paver sealing services offer multiple finish options, including a natural matte or a wet-look gloss, depending on the style of your space.
Enhanced Appearance
Sealing highlights the natural tones in your brick and creates a uniform finish across the surface. If your pavers are starting to look dull or faded, sealing will revive their original color.
Protection Against the Elements
A high-quality sealer keeps rain, moisture, and UV rays from penetrating the paver. This protects the surface from cracking, fading, and mildew growth.
Easier Maintenance
Sealed pavers are less porous, meaning dirt and debris stay on the surface instead of sinking in. Routine rinsing is often enough to keep the area clean. You’ll spend less time pressure washing or scrubbing stubborn stains.
Our Complete Sealing Process
At Premier Coatings, we go beyond the basics. Our full process includes cleaning, sanding, and sealing for long-term results.
Step 1: Pressure Cleaning
We start by removing all surface debris, mold, mildew, and stains using commercial-grade equipment. This prepares the surface for sealing and ensures maximum adhesion.

Step 2: Joint Sanding
We refill any eroded or missing sand between pavers with high-quality, nutrient-free material that resists weeds and ant activity. This stabilizes the surface and prepares it for a secure seal.
This is included in our brick paver maintenance package, which can be scheduled as part of seasonal upkeep.
Step 3: Sealer Application
Finally, we apply a breathable, weather-resistant sealer that penetrates and protects. Our products are formulated for Florida’s climate and tested for long-lasting performance.
Where Sealing Makes the Biggest Impact
We recommend sealing all outdoor paver surfaces, especially in high-use and high-moisture areas.
Driveways
Driveways are exposed to oil, tire marks, and constant sun. Sealing helps prevent staining and fading while making cleaning easier.
Pool Decks
Around pools, sealing helps reduce algae, mold, and slipperiness. It also helps block moisture that would otherwise degrade the surface over time.
Patios and Walkways
These areas are prone to wear and shifting from foot traffic and rain. Sealing keeps them level, clean, and attractive year-round.

We proudly work with homeowners throughout Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties, offering sealing solutions that perform under Florida’s toughest environmental conditions.
