  • Reduces sand washout after heavy rain

Paver Sealing for Protection

Sealing protects everything that cleaning and sanding accomplish underneath it, ensuring the work of our expert paver cleaner in Cincinnati, OH, lasts longer. On Deck Services uses Surebond 8700, a commercial-grade, oil-based sealer that soaks into the paver instead of sitting on top of it like retail products do.

  • Builds a barrier against oil, water, and dirt
  • Blocks UV rays that fade and dull pavers
  • Sealer chosen for Ohio’s freeze-thaw climate
  • Resists the clouding acrylic sealers develop
  • Helps lock joint sand in place
  • Reduces moss growth after the seal cures
  • Built to outlast big-box store sealers

Choosing a Natural or Wet-Look Finish

Not every homeowner wants the same finish. On Deck Services offers a natural, low-sheen look alongside a wet-look finish that deepens and enriches paver color.

  • Natural finish keeps the original paver tone
  • Natural finish gives a subtle, matte look
  • Wet-look finish deepens and enriches color
  • Wet-look finish adds a slight sheen
  • Either option paired with the same protection
  • Choice depends on style, not performance

Why Greater Cincinnati Homeowners Trust On Deck Services

Deck restoration is not just putting a new finish over old problems. We identify what caused the surface to fail, prepare the deck correctly, and set clear expectations before stain is applied.

Peeling, fading, graying, and buildup are symptoms. We identify what is causing them before recommending the restoration path.

Cleaning, brightening, sanding, and coating removal are matched to what the deck needs before stain is applied.

Transparent, semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid finishes are explained upfront so you understand the expected result.

Paver Cleaning FAQs

What are the signs that my pavers need cleaning and sealing?
Missing joint sand, weed growth, and a faded or chalky look are common signs. Loose or shifting pavers and water soaking in instead of beading up also point to wear. A professional assessment confirms what your specific patio or driveway needs.
Most pavers benefit from cleaning every one to two years, depending on exposure. Sealing is typically needed every two to three years in Ohio’s climate. Heavy traffic, full sun, and poor drainage can shorten that timeline.
What is the difference between a natural and wet-look sealer?
A natural sealer preserves the paver’s original color and provides a matte finish. A wet-look sealer deepens color and adds a slight sheen. Neither option is better, since the choice depends on personal style.
Homeowners can attempt paver cleaning, but incorrect pressure often causes permanent surface damage. Improper sanding can leave pavers loose or prone to shifting. Professional equipment and products are built to avoid both problems.
