Question 1

How much does paver sealing cost in Clermont, FL?

Accepted Answer

We keep it simple: $1.10 per square foot to seal, which already includes the cleaning prep. A typical paver driveway runs about $660–$990 with a 1-year warranty on the seal. You can get an instant estimate online in minutes — final pricing is confirmed at a quick in-person appointment (and yes, the estimate is not guaranteed until we see the surface).

Question 2

How much does pressure washing a driveway cost?

Accepted Answer

Concrete cleaning is $0.23 per square foot. You can get an instant estimate online based on the area and condition; final pricing is confirmed at a quick in-person appointment. Mold, rust, or oil stain treatment is a flat $150 add-on.

Question 3

What sealer do you use, and is it safe?

Accepted Answer

We use Inseco, a water-based wet-look paver sealer. Water-based means low odor, eco-friendly, and safe around pools, plants, and pets. It gives pavers a rich, wet-look color that makes them pop — without a heavy high-gloss shine — and comes with a 1-year warranty.

Question 4

Will sealing make my pavers glossy and slippery?

Accepted Answer

Our wet-look sealer deepens and enriches the color, but it isn’t a slick high-gloss coating — you get that “freshly wet” look while keeping good traction around pools and walkways. Prefer no color change at all? We also offer a matte finish, and we show sample photos before we start.

Question 5

Should I choose wet-look or matte paver sealer?

Accepted Answer

Wet-look deepens your pavers’ color for that “freshly rained-on” pop — most popular for driveways and patios. Matte protects just the same but keeps the natural, original tone with no shine. Both come with a 1-year warranty at $1.10/sq ft. We’ll show you samples so you can see the difference first.

Question 6

How often should pavers be sealed in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Every 3–5 years for most driveways, sooner for pool decks in full sun. Florida UV, rain, and mold are hard on sealer. If water no longer beads and the color looks flat, it’s time. We’ll give you an honest assessment — sometimes a deep clean is all you need.

Question 7

Will pressure washing damage my pavers?

Accepted Answer

Done wrong, yes — high pressure blasts out joint sand and can scar the surface. We use surface-appropriate pressure and re-sand joints when needed. Concrete and pavers are all we do, so the technique matches the surface every time.

Question 8

Does sealing pavers stop weeds and ants?

Accepted Answer

Sealing with polymeric sand hardens the joints, which greatly reduces weeds and ant nests — one of the biggest reasons Florida homeowners seal. It’s protection, not a lifetime guarantee, but the difference is dramatic.

Question 9

How long before I can walk or drive on sealed pavers?

Accepted Answer

With our water-based sealer, typically foot traffic in 4–6 hours and vehicles in 24–48 hours, depending on weather and humidity. We confirm exact times on the day of your job.

Question 10

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

El Coqui is a registered Florida business, owner-operated by Angel. We’re transparent about it: general-liability insurance isn’t in place yet, so we focus on residential work. If your HOA or property manager needs a certificate of insurance, let us know and we’ll tell you honestly where we stand.

Question 11

Do you serve my neighborhood?

Accepted Answer

We serve Groveland, Clermont, Minneola, Mascotte, Montverde, Oakland, Four Corners, Winter Garden, Ocoee, Windermere, Leesburg, Tavares, Mount Dora, Howey-in-the-Hills, and Davenport. Not sure? Call — if we can route it, we’ll come.

Question 12

What does “El Coquí” mean?

Accepted Answer

The coquí is Puerto Rico’s beloved little tree frog, famous for its song. It’s a nod to our family’s roots — and to doing small things with pride. Latino-owned, family-operated, and proud of it.
