Brick has a look no other paver matches: warm reds, browns and oranges that glow after a wash. Sealing keeps that tone steady, packs the joints and makes dirt rinse away more easily. A contractor will look at whether your bricks are clay, concrete or salvaged, since each takes a different plan. Describe your brick when you request a free estimate.
What does brick have to do with Flagler County?
A lot, as it turns out. About a century ago a brick highway, part of the Dixie Highway, was laid through what is now Flagler County with vitrified bricks from a Birmingham, Alabama company. AskFlagler reports that many are stamped GRAVES B'HAM ALA. The road was nine feet wide with curbstones, built in 1914 and 1915, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2005. To talk about your own bricks, call (386) 270-5568.
The Flagler County Historical Society tells what happened to the stretch toward the beach. After the road was paved over, bricks were given away to anyone who could haul them, and one settler used his pile for a fireplace and a patio. Wikipedia's page on the city lists the county's Old Brick Road among the displays at the Flagler Beach Historical Museum. If you have a patio of salvaged brick, request a free estimate.
Why does brick need a different sealer than other pavers?
Brick drinks more. Unilock says brick pavers are porous like concrete but tend to be more absorbent, so the right sealer matters, and a matte or low gloss finish keeps the natural look. Slower drying in shade also affects when the coat can go on. A contractor who treats brick like any gray paver may seal it too glossy or too early. To ask what a contractor would use, call (386) 270-5568.
Then there are salvaged bricks, which can carry old mortar. Cambridge Pavingstones warns that mortar is extremely difficult to remove and may mean replacing the paver. A test patch tells you how the brick will behave. To set one up, request a free estimate.
Are my bricks clay, concrete or old salvage?
The answer changes the plan, so a contractor checks before pricing. Here are the three kinds a homeowner usually has. To get yours identified, call (386) 270-5568.
Clay brick pavers
Fired clay units, often in classic reds and browns. Brick soaks up water, and a sealer slows staining.
Brick look concrete pavers
Molded concrete shaped like brick. Unilock says sealing concrete pavers protects against staining and enhances color.
Salvaged or reclaimed brick
Old units reused from other jobs. Expect mixed sizes, old mortar and uneven absorbency, so a test patch comes first.
What is the brick paver sealing process before the coat?
Cleaning first, drying second, sealing last. Unilock asks for a spotless surface, because sealer can make stains stand out, and for dry pavers before sealing. Algae, rust and oil each need their own cleaner, and Cambridge Pavingstones says to test one paver at a time. To go over the plan, call (386) 270-5568.
Joint sand comes next. Unilock says that if polymeric sand was used, sealing after it cures helps lock in the joints and resist washout. Bricks laid on sand without any polymer take plain sand. Ask which one the contractor will use when you request a free estimate.
Matte or wet look: which finish suits brick?
Matte keeps the color close to how brick looked when new, while a wet look deepens reds and browns into a richer shade. Unilock says brick often calls for a matte or low gloss finish and warns that gloss can be slippery when wet. A walkway to the door that stays damp from sprinklers points toward matte. Ask for a test patch when you request a free estimate.
Flagler Beach adds sun and salt air to the question. A finish that looks wonderful in a showroom may show scuffs and sand marks sooner on a busy front walk. To see two finishes side by side on your own brick, call (386) 270-5568.
What do brick paver costs look like in Flagler Beach?
No page I read gives a brick-only rate for this area. So the table builds the cost from published pieces. Sealer material comes from Unilock's $80 to $150 a gallon and its coverage of 100 to 150 square feet a gallon for water based and 80 to 120 for solvent based. The full job uses the $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot a Volusia County paver company publishes. For a written price, request a free estimate.
Read the gap between the two columns. Material is a fraction of the total, so the rest pays for washing, drying, sand and time on site. Brick with moss, mortar splatter or old failed sealer will cost more. To go over a bid you hold, call (386) 270-5568.
| Brick area | Sealer material only | Whole job, clean, sand and seal |
|---|---|---|
| 250 sq ft | $133 to $469 | $375 to $750 |
| 400 sq ft | $213 to $750 | $600 to $1,200 |
| 600 sq ft | $320 to $1,125 | $900 to $1,800 |
| 900 sq ft | $480 to $1,688 | $1,350 to $2,700 |
Sealer material is the cheapest water based gallon (about 53 cents a square foot) to the dearest solvent gallon (about $1.88), math from Unilock's published prices and coverage. The whole job uses the $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot range a Volusia County paver company published. This is a build from published pieces, not a brick-only rate. Repairs and stripping are extra.
How often should brick pavers be resealed?
Three to five years is the span Unilock gives for pavers. Salt air and heat near the beach push toward the short end, and a covered courtyard can stretch longer. Solvent based coats are listed at four to five years when well kept. Look for water that no longer beads and joints that sit low. To have a coat checked, call (386) 270-5568.
Humidity plays a part too. Wanderlog gives Flagler Beach 78 percent in August against 70 in April. Damp shade invites moss on brick sooner than on a sunny patio. To plan cleanings between coats, request a free estimate.
What does it take to protect an old brick road feeling at home?
Gentle handling does most of it. AskFlagler says the bricks of the historic road have loosened, and FlaglerLive reports the county has been coating it with sand to reduce damage from logging trucks. The home version is the same idea: keep joints full of sand so the bricks cannot shift. A sealer then holds the sand and the color in place. To book that work, call (386) 270-5568.
Lifting a brick from a county road is illegal, and AskFlagler notes signs say so. A patio of old brick at home is a different thing, but it shows how people here value these units. A contractor can treat them with care. Ask about a gentle cleaner when you request a free estimate.
Is brick paver sealing available outside the city of Flagler Beach?
Yes. A contractor covers the city and the coast and county around it. Pick your town below for local notes, or call (386) 270-5568 if your street is not listed.
What do sealed brick pavers look like in Flagler Beach?
Brick paver questions from Flagler Beach homeowners
Is it good to seal pavers in Florida?
For brick pavers, often yes, since brick is porous. Sealer slows staining, helps hold sand and can deepen the color. Unilock notes that brick tends to soak up more than concrete, so the product choice matters. Reseal every three to five years.
Can I clean, sand and seal my brick pavers?
Yes. The wash goes first, then fresh joint sand, then the sealer once everything is dry. Brick that sits in shade can hold moisture longer, and Unilock flags slower drying and curing in shaded areas, so the job may take more than one day.
Is it better to spray or roll paver sealer?
Both work, and many contractors use each one. Unilock recommends a sprayer to apply the coat evenly, which helps prevent haze and lap marks, then a dry roller to take up extra before it streaks. Ask which tools your job calls for.
Will Dawn dish soap clean pavers?
A little fresh grease may lift from a small area. Algae, rust, oil that soaked into brick and old sealer need other cleaners. Cambridge Pavingstones lists separate treatments for each, and recommends testing one paver first.
Do I need a license to pressure wash in Florida?
Rules differ by the trade involved and by the city or county where the work happens. A good first step is to ask any contractor for proof of the license and insurance they carry. Call the county or city for the current requirements.
Are old bricks from Flagler County roads safe to seal?
Salvaged bricks vary, so ask a contractor to test a small spot. The Flagler County Historical Society says bricks from the old Dixie Highway were given away and reused for fireplaces and patios. Old brick can hold oil, mortar and salts, which changes the cleaner and the sealer.
Should brick pavers have a matte or a wet look finish?
Unilock says brick pavers often take a matte or low gloss sealer to keep a natural look. A wet look deepens red and brown tones but shows scuffs sooner and gets slick when wet. Ask for a sample patch before the full coat.
How much does it cost to seal brick pavers in Flagler Beach?
No page I read lists a brick only rate. The published range for sealing pavers here is $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot, and brick work should be priced inside it. The table above splits out the sealer material so you can see what drives the rest.
What other paver work goes with brick sealing?
Brick often sits beside a driveway, pool deck or patio. These guides cover them, and (386) 270-5568 reaches a contractor for all of it.
