Brick paver maintenance might seem like a quick and easy thing and almost anyone can do it. The truth is it takes the right training, experience, tools and cleaning & sealing products to achieve lasting results. Many paver driveways and patios are ruined everyday by landscape companies, handymen and do it yourselfers that think the process is simple.
First, you want to check is that the company is insured and reputable. There are a lot of contractors that don’t have general liability insurance. If they mess up your brick pavers or damage your property you will be the one responsible for the repair costs. Other contractors treat employees as independent contractors which means if a worker is injured on your property, you could be liable. Be sure to notice how professional a contractor seems, you can get a feel if they’re reputable by visiting the company website to view pictures of jobs they have done. A reputable contractor will have a lot of quality before and after pictures of their work. When you are hiring someone to work on your brick paver patio or driveway you want to be sure that they know what they are doing. Look for a contractor that specializes in brick paver cleaning and sealing. Many pressure washing, window washing or painting companies offer this service. Brick paver maintenance is completely different, so it’s best hire a contractor who specializes in it.
The cleaning process is very important when preparing to seal brick pavers. If not performed correctly it can lead to premature failure of the sealer. Only hire a company that uses professional cleaning equipment and cleaners capable of safely removing tough stains like oil, grease, moss, mold & rust. Proper cleaning removes the loose joint sand to make way for installation of new polymeric sand.
There are many of different types of sealers that are poor quality and will not last long, look good, or be safe for traffic in slippery conditions. Using a poor quality sealer often leads to a hazy white appearance, yellowing caused by UV exposure, cracking, peeling and an overall non-uniform appearance.
