Yes. That’s usually failed sealer. We strip it completely, deep clean the pavers, re-sand the joints and reseal them.
Our Services
Paver Cleaning, Sanding & Sealing in Schaumburg and Greater Chicagoland Area
Professional paver cleaning, joint sanding and sealing for homes and businesses in Schaumburg and the Greater Chicagoland Area.
Cleaning & Moss Removal
Moss, algae, weeds and built-up dirt hold moisture in your pavers and joints, which speeds up wear and makes them look old fast. We pressure wash the entire surface thoroughly and blast out the old, defective joint sand, then treat the joints for weeds, moss and algae so they don’t come right back.
Many companies skip the weed treatment, don’t fully clean out the joints, and leave the sand uneven. We take the time to do it right, so your pavers are clean and ready for fresh sand and sealing.
Protective Sealing
After cleaning, we refill the joints with fresh sand or polymeric sand, then seal with Seal ‘N Lock, a professional-grade paver sealer that soaks in and locks the joint sand in place.
- Joint stabilization that helps keep sand from washing out
- UV and weather protection to slow fading
- Algae and mold inhibitors built in
- Stain resistance against oil, food and everyday spills
- VOC compliant and environmentally safe
Most of our customers choose a matte finish with an enhancing effect that brings out the color of the pavers without looking shiny. If you want more shine, any finish is doable, up to a full wet look.
Total Surface Restoration
Old sealer that has failed turns pavers white, cloudy or blotchy. We strip the failed sealer completely, deep clean the pavers, re-sand the joints and reseal with an enhancing sealer that brings the color back. In many cases, a full restoration makes old pavers look close to new, at a fraction of the cost of replacing them.
Repair & Leveling
Sunken areas, shifted edges and uneven pavers create trip hazards and puddles. We lift the affected pavers, rebuild and compact the base underneath, and reset them level, so your patio, walkway or driveway is safe, drains properly and holds up through Chicago freeze-thaw winters.
