A driveway that's turned milky white after the rainy season. A lanai where the sealer is flaking off in patches. A high-gloss finish your Naples HOA now says doesn't fit the community look. Another coat on top won't fix any of these. The old sealer has to come off first. I'm Aaron Kochheiser. Paver Savers & Concrete, LLC has been stripping and sealing pavers since 2010, based in Fort Myers and working across Collier County.
Some stains, like orange irrigation marks or rust, aren't a sealer problem, and stripping alone may not remove them. We'll tell you what we think is causing the discoloration first. Our post on why pavers turn white after sealing explains more.
We visually inspect the existing sealer to see how it's failing and where it's built up, and plan the stripping process from that. Then we remove the old coating with a method suited to the coating and the paver, giving built-up spots extra attention.
After stripping, we rinse, clean and let the pavers dry. Then we re-sand the joints with polymeric sand and reseal with the highest quality two-part water-based urethane sealer, in the finish your HOA approves. You can walk on it after one hour and drive on it the next day.
Travertine pool decks are common in Naples and need a stone-specific approach. See travertine and stone maintenance. If the surface also has sunken or broken pavers, fix them before resealing. See paver repair in Naples.
Send photos and your HOA rules. Show the whole surface and the worst spots, and share any finish guidelines.

Aaron is the greatest guy with a amazing work ethic. He goes above and beyond and catches problems with other items at the house and has the knowledge to fix them. Couldn’t be happier and I am super picky. Our pool area was so moldy looks so good.
Aaron and his team always does an excellent job. I had him out about 5 years ago to do some extensive repairs to my pool deck and seal it. Because of the great job done then, I called him back to come out to clean and seal my pavers. Just like the first time, great job done at a reasonable price. …
Excellent Job!!! Very polite & professional! They went above and beyond what I was expecting!!! My pavers look brand new! Thank you so much! You’ve made a life long customer here!!!
We visually inspect the existing sealer. Whitening, cloudiness, peeling, flaking and heavy build-up are the main signs that it has failed and should come off before resealing.
Yes. Stripping removes the old finish, and then we reseal in the finish your association approves. Share your guidelines with us first.
We only use the highest quality two-part water-based urethane sealers.
You can walk on freshly sealed pavers after one hour, and vehicles can go back on the driveway the next day.
It removes the failing coating, but it can't undo every bit of fading or deep staining in the pavers themselves. If color is the issue, ask about paver restoration, which can include recoloring.
