Trusted Gutter Cleaning & Repair in Jacksonville, FL

We certainly can, depending on the situation. Polymeric sand is recommended for areas with significant water run off or those with a history of weeds and ants. It also enables the homeowner to get a couple more years of life out of their sealant. The sealant in the joints is usually the first to break down, so this redundancy can add 2 more years between reapplications. However, it is not recommended for enclosed pool decks. Polymeric sand shares some properties with cement. Namely, it goes down dry and then turns rock hard upon activation with water. This makes it notoriously tricky for the average DIY-er and a massive headache to clean up if anything goes wrong. It is for this reason that we only use the best products, and we have received extensive individual training from the manufacturers. We make sure to follow each step down to the letter, including the often-skipped step of compaction. We know of several paver companies that will simply broom the sand into the joints and activate it without using a padded plate compactor to vibrate out the air pockets. This leads to spongy sand with virtually no joint stabilization and a severely reduced lifespan. Needless to say, we do not skip steps, and we expect to make three visits for any job involving polymeric sand instead of the typical two.

Both produce almost identical results in two different ways. Dry sanding requires sweeping sand into the joints and clearing the excess with a leaf blower. If there is any moisture whatsoever, this can cause the sand to stick and produce unfavorable results. In wet sanding, we use a fan tip on our pressure washer to create a sand slurry. The weight of the water pulls the sand down into the joints and fills them just the same as before. Clearing the excess with water requires a little more skill than with air, but we have this down to a science. In some cases, we might utilize both techniques on different parts of the same job depending on how the pavers dry after cleaning.

Potentially, yes. Wood staining and sealing will always require two, but paver sealing can potentially be done in a single day. In order for this to be a possibility, it should be a relatively small area with warm weather and minimal shade. However, 90% of our jobs will take two visits (or three in the case of polymeric sanding) to allow for adequate drying time.
