Paver stripping and sealing in Gretna
Sealer does not fail gracefully. It goes cloudy, turns white in patches, and flakes — and once that starts, the only fix is taking it off. New sealer over failing sealer just seals in the problem.
What this is
The surface decides the method
This job runs in the only order that works: strip the old sealer completely, clean the pavers underneath, then reseal. Done that way the color comes back and the new sealer actually lasts.
On the ticket
What it covers
- Old sealer stripped off completely
- Pavers cleaned after the strip
- Fresh sealer applied
- Driveways, patios, and walkway pavers
New sealer over failing sealer is not a fix. It is sealing in the failure.

Straight talk
We strip first, every time
Sealing over old sealer looks fine for about a season. Then the old coat lets go and takes the new one with it, and it peels worse than it ever would have. Stripping first is slower and less fun to quote — it is also the only version of this job that holds.
How it goes
The order of operations is the job
01
Assess the sealer
Cloudy, flaking, or peeling sealer gets identified up front so you know exactly what is being stripped and why.
02
Strip it off
The old sealer comes off completely. Sealing over failure is not an option here.
03
Clean the pavers
With the sealer gone, the pavers themselves get cleaned back to their real color.
04
Reseal
Fresh sealer goes on clean, bare pavers — the only surface it bonds to properly.
Asked about this one
Straight answers
Why not just put new sealer over the old?
Because the new coat bonds to the failing coat, and when the old one lets go, both come off. It looks fine for a season and then peels worse than before. Stripping first is slower and it is also the only version that works.
How do I know if my sealer is failing?
