Faded appearance
The paver colour looks flat after years of weather and cleaning.
Clean, finish and protect
Protect the Surface With the Right Sealer.
We prepare the pavers, confirm the joints and apply a finish suited to the surface—not a one-size-fits-all coating.
Repair-first recommendationsLocal Ottawa service
Preparation controls the result
Sealer should go over a clean, dry and stable surface.
Dirt, trapped moisture, efflorescence and unstable joints can all affect how a sealer looks and performs.
The pavers should be cleaned and evaluated first so the selected finish supports the appearance and maintenance goals for the space.
Ask about your repairWhat to look for
Signs this repair may be needed.
A visible change in the surface can point to a problem with support, restraint or drainage beneath it.
Frequent staining
A high-use surface needs easier routine cleanup after spills or debris.
Dry porous surface
The pavers absorb water quickly and show uneven tone when wet.
Newly restored patio
Cleaning and joint renewal are complete and the finish is ready for protection.
The repair process
Fix the problem in the right order.
Every repair begins with the condition beneath the surface—not with a coating or cosmetic shortcut.
- 01Inspect and choose finish
Review paver type, condition and the desired natural or enhanced appearance.
- 02Clean the surface
Remove dirt, growth and contaminants that could be trapped by sealer.
- 03Allow proper drying
Confirm the surface and joints are ready before applying the coating.
- 04Apply evenly
Use the appropriate product and coverage for a consistent finished result.
Choose the finish deliberately
Natural, colour-enhancing or wet-look effects behave differently.
The right choice depends on the paver, existing treatments, exposure and the homeowner’s preferred appearance.

- Lift, diagnose and relay

Common questions
Before you request a quote.
Send photos and a short description if you are unsure which repair applies.
Does sealing make pavers look wet?
Only some products enhance colour or create a wet-look effect. Natural-look sealers are intended to be less visually obvious.
How long must pavers dry before sealing?
Drying time depends on weather, shade, paver porosity and the cleaning method. The surface must be ready according to the selected product requirements.
Can old sealer be coated over?
Compatibility and the condition of the existing coating must be assessed first. Trapped or failing sealer can affect the result.
Will sealer stop weeds permanently?
No. Healthy joints and routine maintenance remain important. Sealer may support maintenance but does not replace proper joint material or solve base movement.
Keep the pavers. Fix the problem.
