Transforming Driveways: Seamlessly Blending Old and New Pavers in Delray Beach, FL

Are you facing the challenge of integrating new pavers into your existing patio or driveway, only to find that they don’t quite match? You’re not alone. Many homeowners encounter this issue when extending their outdoor living spaces. However, there’s no need to worry – Perfect Paver Co. specializes in seamlessly blending new and old pavers to enhance your home’s curb appeal and make your vision a reality.

Let’s delve into a recent project that perfectly illustrates our dedication to meeting our clients’ goals. Situated in the Casa Bella Community in Delray Beach, Florida, this driveway transformation serves as a prime example of how we help homeowners achieve a more cohesive and attractive outdoor space.

When our client approached us with their concerns, their main goal was to correct the mismatched pavers in their driveway and increase their home’s curb appeal. Understanding the importance of their vision, we collaborated closely with them to develop a customized solution that would significantly reduce the noticeable difference between the old and new pavers.

(Before)

The process began with thorough steam-cleaning and the careful removal of residual sealer to prepare the surface for treatment. Next, our skilled technicians applied polymeric sand to ensure stability and uniformity in the joints. This specialized sand hardens when installed, providing lasting support for the pavers.

Then came the crucial step of enhancing the color of the pavers through our innovative tinting process. Using specialized techniques, we added color pigment to the pavers, significantly reducing the noticeable difference between the old and new sections. While perfection may not be attainable, our process makes the color variation significantly less pronounced, helping our clients achieve a more harmonious look for their driveway.

With precision and attention to detail, our team applied the tinted solution evenly, ensuring a smooth transition between old and new sections. Finally, a protective coat of our proprietary sealer was applied to enhance durability and enrich the color of the pavers, making them look more vibrant and beautiful.

The results were truly remarkable. The vibrancy of the pavers was restored, significantly enhancing the overall appearance of the driveway. While the color difference between the old and new sections is still perceptible upon close inspection, it is now much less noticeable, allowing the home’s beauty to shine through.

Building on Past Success

This project was especially fulfilling for us because we had the chance to work with a client again whom we had assisted previously. Having previously worked on their back patio, we were excited to reconnect with this client. Initially, they approached us for releveling and grout touch-ups for their deteriorating front steps. However, our team proposed a more comprehensive solution, suggesting the reconstruction of the steps with new materials while integrating the existing stone, which still complemented the home’s aesthetic.

Repurposing Existing Stone

As concrete is poured and the foundation takes shape, get a closer look at how we repurpose the old natural stone we saved from the existing steps. We cut the pieces into strips and used them as a veneer for each step face, ensuring a perfect match with the house. Watch as we set the new rock-face limestone step treads into place.

Our goal was to ensure that the new materials complemented the architecture of the home while providing a fresh, updated look.

This choice honors the age and architecture of the home, blending old and new seamlessly.

Project Highlight: Stamped Concrete Pool Deck Restoration in Mason, Ohio

I’m Jake, a technician here at Perfect Paver Co., and I’m excited to take you through the recent makeover we gave to a severely faded stamped concrete pool deck in Mason, Ohio.

Our journey began when a customer, facing the deteriorating state of their pool’s stamped concrete after 15 years, contemplated an expensive solution – complete excavation and a five-figure investment in a new pool deck.

The original vibrant color of the stamped concrete had faded due to relentless exposure to UV rays and harsh Ohio weather. The customer, referred to Perfect Paver Co., recognized the need for a more feasible fix. Upon our initial assessment, we determined that the stamped concrete’s overall structure and quality were still intact, prompting our enthusiasm to provide a practical restoration solution.

Moving on to the restoration process, we started with a thorough steam cleaning to remove surface dirt and stains. Confirming a clean canvas, we rejuvenated the existing sealer through solvent application, addressing surface damages and releasing trapped moisture. In this case, the client opted for additional coloring to even out inconsistencies caused by varying sunlight exposure.

Due to extensive fading, we applied multiple rounds of the rejuvenation process, including color staining, returning the next day to assess the concrete’s condition before proceeding with sealing. My crew and I then meticulously applied the appropriate type and amount of sealant.

I hope you enjoyed the story of this project as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. I love bringing old patios and driveways back to life and make them look beautiful again 😊.

Project Highlight: Fixing a poorly sealed paver patio in Centerville, Ohio

We hope this story about our project gives you a better idea of how we can make your outdoor living space just the way you want it! If you’ve had trouble with your pavers before, check out this great result from a project we finished in the Yankee Trace Golf Course Community in Centerville, Ohio.

Lots of our clients come to us with paver problems. Sometimes, the company they hired before, or even the homeowner themselves, tried to fix things without knowing how. We appreciate the effort, but it can turn into a big problem. If the wrong sand and sealer are used, or if a good product is put on the wrong way, it can be really bad. Luckily, our technicians know what to do in these situations. We want to help anyone going through this and find a good solution.

Before: Notice The White Film From Failed Sealer

Believe it or not, this client wanted their pavers to have dark reds, blues, and grays when they were installed. They thought it was impossible to get them back to that. Most people would agree, but we’ve seen this situation before. The sealer used before turned white and covered up the true beauty of the patio.

Now, we’ve used an eco-friendly stripping agent on the pavers. We wait a bit for it to work and then use steam to clean every inch. Our technicians are trained for this, and they really enjoy seeing the before-and-after difference. To make sure our sealer works well, it’s important to get rid of as much old sealer as possible.

During: We’ve Started The Stripping Process

We’re halfway through the stripping process, and you can already see a big difference in color. This is just the start of how great the final result will look. After cleaning everything, our technician pointed out to the homeowner that their plastic edging around the edges was coming loose from the ground and popping up above the pavers. It’s never too late to add important structural products. And so, after agreeing to a small extra cost, we removed the plastic edging and put in our concrete paver edging.

Now, here’s the final result right after sealing. We couldn’t get the perfect after picture before leaving the project because the sealer was still drying, but our customer was so happy that she offered to send a picture from her patio door once the sealant had dried the next day. Here’s the amazing outcome of the patio.

After: Look How Beautiful Those Pavers Are

Roland’s Perfect Paver Co. Story

We all want our home and its surrounding areas to look and be its absolute best! Sometimes, increasing its safety is a crucial part of this process. This is precisely what Roland and his wife Lois had in mind when they started their search for a paver restoration company.

Roland and his wife Lois live in Gahanna, a suburb of Columbus Ohio in Northeast Franklin County. They’ve lived in their beautiful home for 31 years. After all this time, things are bound to need a little improvement. The main entrance to the house contains a walkway with a few steps leading up to the front door. Unfortunately, the elements have caused these steps to deteriorate. They became loose, unstable and we’re falling apart making them very unsafe. Due to the steps breakage, a year and a half ago, Lois experienced this lack of safety when she fell and broke her hip. They knew it was time to get this area taken care of immediately.

Roland had seen the Perfect Paver Co. trucks in his neighborhood on a few occasions. He was always very curious about the company, so he decided to talk to his neighbors and get some feedback on their experiences. Each neighbor he spoke with had nothing but great things to say about their own personal results with Perfect Paver Co. These neighbors had driveways, patios, and walkways that had been beautifully restored by Perfect Paver Co. He now had the confidence he needed to give them a call.

At first, Roland was slightly skeptical due to a previous experience he had with a different company. This company had made promises mixed with excuses and ultimately, they never showed up. After Roland’s initial phone call with Perfect Paver Co., he knew this was a highly professional company that would do what was promised and get the job done right.

Brian and Blake were the technicians assigned to this job. This was February in Ohio, so everyone was aware of the challenges the weather might present. This job was to not only be a repair to the steps, but a clean, sand, and seal of the walkway as well as driveway. Due to the extremely cold temperatures, they would start with the repairs and finish the remaining steps in Spring. Roland took Brian and Blake around the area while explaining his expectations and goals for the job. Brian assessed the area. “I immediately recognized the material of the steps, they were unilock brussels block pavers. I was confident we could fix this area for Roland and his wife and make them safe.” Said Brian. They discussed the goals, concerns, and the process of what this repair would entail.

The techs got to work! “We were dealing with snow and cold temperatures. There were days we had to shovel snow just to get to the area” Said, Brain. During the construction, Brian and Blake built a tent around the area they were working on. This enabled them to pump in heat which allowed them to keep warm and working. Lois was eager to see their progress and make sure they were doing ok. “Lois was very friendly and involved during the process. She was a very kind lady who would come check on us daily,” said Brian.

This is a very heavily wooded property with trees surrounding the house. All of these beautiful trees meant lots of tree root growth. The techs were quickly made aware that these roots were the culprit of the stair’s breakage. The techs tore up everything from deep down to remove the roots and have a fresh area to work on. They then poured a concrete base which allowed them to rebuild the steps. They made sure the area was safe, solid, and brought back to its original beauty. These steps were rebuilt with the long-term goal in mind of lasting through any possible tree root growth. “The guys did an excellent job. They were very hardworking and trustworthy. I am so happy to have something safe, solid and good looking to walk on.” Said Roland

Roland was ecstatic with the results and the newfound safety of these steps. Due to the diligent work of these Perfect Paver Co. technicians, these steps can now be used in complete confidence. Come Spring, the Perfect Paver Co. technicians will come back to finish the paver restoration job they started. Brian and Blake did an excellent job of listening to Roland and Lois’s concerns. Roland feels so great with the peace of mind knowing his wife and anyone else using these steps will be safe. Come rain, shine, snow or cold temperatures, it’s good to know there is a company that will work during these conditions to make sure your home and its surrounding areas are beautifully restored and repaired with confidence in its safety.

Carol’s Perfect Paver Story – Cleaning, Sealing, Sanding, and Tinting

“I want color!”

Carol is a Perfect Paver Co customer who knew exactly what she wanted to achieve with her driveway restoration. Carol lives in the Willoughby Golf community located in Stuart on the beautiful Treasure Coast of South Florida. This is a Spanish-style home with a 2500 square foot driveway. This driveway was original to the house and after 26 years, it was time for this area to receive a little TLC. After seeing an advertisement for Perfect Paver Co on Facebook, Carol was confident this was the company for the job. “It was the first and only company I called.”

There were a couple of challenges discussed during the initial conversations of this project. “The community has strict guidelines when it comes to working during certain hours and I had a timeline. I needed this job to be done in a timely manner to fit my schedule” Stated Carol. The team at Perfect Paver Co was able to accommodate Carol’s schedule to work within the community guidelines.

Nathan and Christian were the technicians assigned to Carol’s project. On their very first interaction, Nathan knew this was a customer who had very high expectations and knew exactly what she wanted. This driveway restoration would consist of repairs, cleaning, sanding, tinting, and sealing. The technicians explained the steps and discussed all of the details important to achieving the best results possible. They were confident and excited to provide Carol with a newly restored and beautiful driveway.

Nathan and Christian got right to work starting with repairs. These repairs were necessary due to a water line going under the pavers directly across the driveway. Over time, this caused the pavers to move and distort the congruity of the area. These altered pavers and others were repaired to maintain a consistent look throughout the entire driveway.

After the repairs, the entire area was steam cleaned of many years of use to get ready for the tinting, sanding, and sealing process. The tinting and sanding of the pavers were to be a very precise and specific detail. He made a few test samples on some pavers that were used during the repairing process. The roof of Carol’s house was a gorgeous terra cotta and she knew she wanted the driveway to be in the same family of color. “I knew Carol wanted a very saturated and vibrant color that would go well with the terra cotta roof. It was important for it to not match perfectly, but be close enough that it was consistent,” said Nathan. Certain areas of the driveway were slightly different colors due to wear, tear, and the strong South Florida sun. Nathan decided that water tinting was the way to approach this particular challenge. They finalized the color and it was a perfect choice for the vibrant and consistent color Carol envisioned. Nathan and Christian applied the tint, the sand then sealed it all in beautifully.

Given the challenges that arose during this project, the results were phenomenal. “If Nathan had not been so diligent and hard-working, I probably would not have had the job finished in the time period that worked with my schedule. I thought they did a very, very good and thorough job,” said Carol. The final result of this job was exceptional and most important it was what Carol wanted. Not only was Carol pleased, but so were her neighbors. Many of them came over to compliment the job and to request an estimate of their driveways right then and there.

Occasionally challenges arise on paver restoration projects. Timelines and creating the perfect color were some of the issues that came up during this particular project. This is why it is so important to hire professional experts that are skilled and experienced in any issues that might arise. If anyone is up to these challenges, it’s knowledgeable team members of Perfect Paver Co.

Mary’s Perfect Paver Story: A little piece of Sicily restored in her own front patio

Mary and her husband live in the Sandpiper Bay neighborhood of Port Saint Lucie. They have lived in their home for around 25 years. When they originally moved into this quadruplex, the patio had wooden slats that laid over the dirt to create their front patio area. This setup would not last long. Mary decided to have the gorgeous and unique flagstone installed. The man she hired to do the job was a semi-retired stonemason from Italy. During his career, he focused on the stonework of churches throughout Sicily. This skilled man installed the stone and did a beautiful job on the patio. Not only did he lay the flooring, but he also built a BBQ Grill, planter, and accent wall all out of this beautiful flagstone to complete the patio. “During the time he spent working on the job, he had opera playing loudly outside while he worked. That’s the colorful part of the story besides the stone.” Said, Mary

As time seems to do, it took a toll on this area and Mary and her husband wanted to bring back its natural beauty. After many years and many attempts at cleaning up these stones, it was time to give this area a full rejuvenation. They did not specifically use the patio much due to its direct sunlight, but they wanted it to look as beautiful as possible. It was their view and what they looked at day after day. Mary knew it was time to bring out this patio’s full potential.

After a year of contemplation, Mary came across an advertisement for Perfect Paver on her Facebook Feed. She took a look at the website and was very impressed. She decided to give them a call. Mary was put on the schedule and Ethan and Jarrod were the technicians assigned to the job. Immediately upon arrival, Ethan could visualize and understand the full potential of this project. He saw the beautiful flagstone and all the care and skill that went into creating this area. Unfortunately, this space had become very overgrown with weeds, mold and dirt. It had organic growth as well as failed sealer. The first step would be to get the area all cleaned up.

Ethan and Jarrod knew what this job would entail and came up with a game plan. They explained the steps to Mary, and they discussed all expectations and details. The first step would be to remove any of the old sealer that had been left in the past. There had previously been other attempts at restoration projects, but none of them made Mary or her husband 100% satisfied. The old sealer was removed revealing a fresh pallet to work on. The joints in the stone had old mortar in them that had broken down over the years. The technicians decided to blow out all of this old and broken-down mortar and replace it with tan poly sand that matched the flagstone and original mortar. After sanding, the final step was to seal everything in. The technicians decided on an enhanced sealer that brought out the beautiful colors and patterns of the flagstone revealing its natural beauty.

Mary and her husband are so delighted with the results. The restoration did not stop at the flooring, but continued on to the BBQ, planter and accent wall. These areas were brought back to their original beauty and function. “Where the stones had started to separate, they did such a great job of filling these cracks in with the perfect color sand,” said Mary. Not only were Mary and her husband pleased with the results, but with the excellent customer service from everyone at Perfect Paver. “Ethan was a doll and so easy to work with. He explained things well and did a great job. It was delightful working with him and in the 25 years of living in this house, he was one of the best workers we have ever had”, Said Mary

This job was a perfect combination of great communication from the homeowners and technicians mixed with superb results. Ethan stated, “It was definitely a great experience working with them and I am very proud of the final results.” The before compared to the after was remarkable and the natural beauty of the flagstone was brought back to life. It was a job the original installer would have been so pleased with. The only thing these techs were missing was the sound of opera music playing in the background.
