Paver Sealing in Carpentersville and Surrounding Areas
Do I seal or not seal my brick pavers?
This is the most asked question that we get. In short, our answer will always be a profound yes! It all comes down to this, would you like to protect your investment and get the most out of it?
Most likely your answer is a yes!
If you have noticed that your brick pavers have lost most of the lovely colors they once had when they were initially installed and now, they look faded and raw, then they are due for a sealing.
When brick pavers are not sealed, they are simply exposed to the harsh elements and to harmful UV rays. Yes, you read that correctly, unsealed, brick pavers will get damaged by every day UV rays.
These rays will eat up their colors and in turn make them look dull, faded and raw. This will certainly deteriorate and decrease the life expectancy of your brick pavers costing you more dollars down the road.

Enhancing Your Home's Curb Appeal and Value
which sealer to use
There are plenty of options out there for you to choose from. There are ones that leave a certain glossy look which enhances the colors more and others will leave the natural color of your brick pavers intact but will still provide that protection against the wear and other elements. From natural to semi-gloss and high gloss sheen depending on your taste the options vary.
Our most recommended and preferred by our clients is the “wet look sealer”. This one is a favorite since it enhances the natural colors of the pavers to make them appear more vibrant and pronounced.
It is important to note that this should not be considered a DIY project, but if you so choose to do this as one, we recommend informing yourself with all the necessary information and proper steps to follow along with the right products that best suit your brick pavers or stones. This is our best recommendation in order to avoid costly mistakes.
Too often we encounter with frustrated clients that either their DIY project went wrong, or they hired the wrong person for the job, such as their landscaper or handyman who thought this was an easy task to take on. The results; a mess and now a costly stripping procedure has to be followed in order to correct and achieve the desired results.
We are committed to providing the most innovative techniques that will assure you with the best results expected. We guarantee our sealers will never turn white, amber, crack or peel. We use the best quality sealers that best suit your brick pavers, natural stones and concrete installations.
