Paver cleaning, re-sanding, and seal.
Pavers look best when the joints are tight and the stone is clean. We surface-clean the pavers, sweep out failed joint sand, kill any weed roots, refill with polymeric sand, and optionally seal the whole surface. The result is the look you had when it was first installed, minus the weeds.

What do homeowners ask about Pavers & Stone?
What is polymeric sand?
Jointing sand mixed with a dry polymer. You sweep it into the paver joints dry, then mist it to activate, it sets semi-hard, resisting weeds, ants, and erosion. Done right it lasts 5 to 10 years. Done wrong (on a wet surface, or over-watered during activation) it hazes the paver tops. We do it right.
Will cleaning wash out all my joint sand?
Some, yes, and that's expected and necessary on a re-sand job. On a clean-only (no re-sand) job we use a lower-pressure technique around joints to preserve what's there. Either way we'll tell you before the wash what the sand situation is going to look like after.
Do I need to seal pavers?
Not required, but recommended in high-visibility areas. Sealer locks in the polymeric sand (reduces ant and weed pressure further), blocks oil and organic staining, and boosts color. Wet-look sealers darken pavers significantly, natural-finish is a softer enhancement. We do sample patches so you pick before we commit the whole area.
Can you clean travertine without damaging it?
Yes, and we're careful about it. Travertine is soft and acid-sensitive. We use a neutral-pH cleaner and an appropriate pressure, never acid etch, never a 0-degree tip. Mildew comes off readily with chemistry; iron-bearing staining takes a targeted approach.

Examples of the kind of feedback we work to earn on every job. Verified reviews from real customers live on our Google Business Profile and Yelp pages.
North-facing side of our house was black with streaking. They softwashed the siding and the roof the same morning and left the place looking five years younger. No pressure damage to the stucco, no splatter on the windows. Honest pricing.
Got three quotes. Rinse Pro was the only one to explain the hot-water surface cleaner versus a cold-water wand. You can see the difference in the finish. Driveway looks like it was poured last week.
I was worried about them walking on our clay tile roof. They did the whole thing from the ground with a long soft-wash wand and the black streaks were gone in one visit. Professional, clean, and they showed up when they said they would.
