Paver restoration typically costs $3-$8 per square foot, while complete replacement costs $12-$30+ per square foot. For a 500 sq ft patio, restoration costs $1,500-$4,000 vs. $6,000-$15,000 for replacement. Restoration extends your pavers' life by 10-20 years at a fraction of replacement cost, making it an excellent investment for pavers in decent structural condition.

Absolutely! Sunken areas are one of the most common issues we fix. We remove pavers from the affected area, add and compact additional base material, re-level the surface, then reinstall the pavers. This process corrects drainage issues and eliminates trip hazards. As long as the pavers themselves aren't cracked, we can restore them to perfect condition.

In most cases, yes! Professional cleaning removes years of dirt, stains, and oxidation. After cleaning, replacing joint sand, and applying sealer, pavers typically look 90-95% like new. Very old or severely weathered pavers may show some wear, but the improvement is dramatic. We can also replace individual badly damaged pavers to maintain uniform appearance.

Most residential paver restoration projects take 2-4 days. Day 1: Deep cleaning and drying. Day 2: Repairs, re-sanding, and any paver replacement. Day 3-4: Sealer application (requires dry weather and 24-48 hour cure time). We'll provide a specific timeline based on your project size and condition during the free assessment.

We recommend professional cleaning and resealing every 3-5 years in Orlando's climate. High-traffic areas or pavers exposed to pool chemicals may need service every 2-3 years. Regular maintenance prevents major repairs and extends paver life. If your pavers haven't been serviced in 5+ years, or if you see fading, weed growth, or stains, it's time for restoration.
