A potential client has a large paver driveway that was installed only 3 years ago. I know there are pavers that have an integral mix, while the other method is pavers that have a very thin topcoat of color and cream top finish. Unfortunately that is the type he has and in only 3 years it seems that the UV damage and a little bit of rain (don’t get much rain here) has caused the pigment and some of the cream to wash away. He can see aggregate already on a lot of the pavers and underneath the eaves where it was protected from the sun and rain it could look brand new after just being cleaned.
Has anyone had experience with restoring the look on pavers like these from just softwashing and finish cleaning using medium pressure and hot water? There’s definitely the beginning stages of growth and obviously regular dirt and contaminates, so cleaning could help quite a bit but I think the next step would be to have my associate come in with a color enhancer before sealing, I’m hoping that between a nice clean, his color enhancer and a sealer that it might be possible to get the color to look quite a bit closer to the drastic difference that it is now?
He has 3900 ft.² of these pavers and spent a fortune on it, our goal is to work together to try to restore the look and protect it from future degradation…
