Travertine is riddled with interconnected capillary that permit the unwelcomed penetration of contaminants that make the travertine appear dirty. These porous channels act like a liquid sponge, and draw in these contaminants over time, along with any dissolved salts and others not so friendly stains. Travertine is a very porous natural stone, and absorbs contaminants very quickly. Properly sealing your exterior travertine will prevent the penetration of liquids such as oils, colored drinks,pool chemicals as well as deterring mold buildup and staining from irrigation rust from patio furniture, stains from other debris, as well as stabilizing joint sand preventing the travertine from becoming loose, unsafe & wobbly, while also creating an impenetrable barrier from weed growth between the joints. Additionally, the right sealers increase the tensile strength by up to thirty percent, retarding cracking or chipping, as well as enhancing the natural beauty of this wonderful exterior stone.
Why Seal Travertine?
Travertine is limestone, which is a very porous material, susceptible to all kinds of staining and marking. Oil, grease and rust are nearly impossible to remove because they are so easily absorbed. Unsealed travertine retains water for long periods, creating an ideal situation for mold and mildew to grow.

Why choose us over a competitor or doing it yourself?
The open pores that formed naturally in travertine can easily fill with sealer if not properly sealed by a company with a lot of experience, once the coating dries you will be left with a surface that looks like someone filled all of those little pits that often times can void your warranty from your supplier and leaving you with a costly expense to strip that sealer, which is extremely difficult to do on travertine without damaging the delicate substrate.
As travertine is not as common as concrete pavers, most of our local orange county competitor paver sealing companies don’t have much experience sealing this complicated surface. Over the years, we have sealed more than one million square feet of travertine (and counting). In that time, as you can imagine, we have mastered the technique behind properly applying travertine sealant in all imaginable forms.
We highly discourage our clients to attempt to seal their travertine surfaces themselves, as even most local experienced paver sealing companies struggle with this process.
Estimates are always free, you have literally nothing to lose by filling out an online request for a free estimate form or by calling our experts to come out and give you a no-hassle estimate. If you still insist on sealing your pavers yourself, feel free to call us for professional advice and guidance along the way.
95% of our orange county paver sealing estimates are able to be given based on a satellite imagery cloud software we pay to use. This makes our overhead expenses lower as we are able to give an average of 50 precise and exact quotes a day with this program – which would take a team of salesman, earning salaries, driving insured vehicles that suck down gas, giving you a 2 hour time block like most companies schedule for their estimates and will either show up late or not at all – leaving clients frustrated… We experience this on a daily basis.
You have nothing to lose at all to get a quick quote! Most quotes will be emailed to our customers within an hour of request with a very detailed description of our process along with links to all of the products that we would be using.
