I contacted Tropical Pavers to get an estimate on repairing some pavers on my pool coping and for a cleaning/sealing of the entire pool deck.  They came out to take measurements, and provided an estimate that day.  Although they do not do the specific repairs I was in need of, they did provide a fair estimate for the cleaning and sealing, and fully explained their service and products.  I called Dana (the owner) the next day to schedule service for the following day.  The guys came out, earlier than expected, which was great.  They worked hard for around 5 hours, to fully pressure wash my entire pool deck.  The then applied the 3 layers of sealant.  They even helped remove, and replace the pool gate for me.  In addition, they offered advice on short term fixes for my repairs until I can get a contractor to come look at the problem.
The professionalism and quality of work was outstanding.  Both of the guys that came out were great.  They clearly explained what they would be doing, and even pointed out areas they may need special attention.  The look of the deck is amazing (just completed today, so I'm not sure how the appearance may change after a few hours.
I would highly recommend this company to do the work we hired them for.  I feel the crew went above and beyond, and complete the whole job within about 5 hours.

I would have no issues with hiring this company again. 
The communication was excellent, the estimator showed up as scheduled and gave us a very good price.  The work was completed as promised and the quality seems good, although it hasn't rained yet!
Technicians were pleasant, knowledgeable, patient and thorough.

Excellent, courteous work by Dave and Milton.  Arrived as scheduled, explained everything, worked efficiently and hard for 5+ hours. They also threw in additional services such as blowing off pool screen and power washing a brick fireplace/grill. The decks look great.  We will call in the future and are happy to give Tropical Paver a top recommendation.

Great job from initial contact to finished product.

It went better than we could have ever expected.... A+ across the board.

The crew removed and replace all plant pots and pool furniture for us. That would have been impossible for me to handle.
They did an excellent job of cleaning some really mold and dirt from all the nooks and grannies of the travertine tile.

My son, whom I help out because he travels extensively, wanted to start preparing his home for sale.  There were a few low spots around his pool deck.  I called his regular maintenance pool service to ask if they do these type of repairs.  They didn't but recommended two different companies.  The first company was too busy, the second company came to give an estimate.  The second company stated it would be no problem to repair the low spots around the pool deck.  The service person also stated that the decking should be pressure washed, re-sanded to prevent week growth, and sealed to give the block a slight wet look.  I informed my son, and he agreed.  The contractor stated that the cost would be $1,510.  I thought the cost was more than fair, in fact a little low but I wasn't going to argue.  The contractor started the job.  My son paid the contractor and my son left for six weeks.  When my son came back his pool deck was all full of weeds, one area of the block that had been repaired had fallen into the soft ground, there was sand all over the top of the pool deck and the sealant was sprayed on top of the sand-gluing the sand to the top of the pool deck.  The company was called and left textmessages, they never responded back.  
I checked Angie's List and found Tropical Paver Sealing.  I called and explained the situation to Dana.  Dana came out immediately and looked at the pool deck.  Dana stated they could restore it but it would be a lot of work and it wouldn't come all the way back to what it was.  My son didn't care...he wanted it restored the best it could be because he wanted to put the home up for sale.  Dana sent a crew of two guys and expected it to take a full day just to strip it and part of another day to sand it and seal it.  After a few hours the two-man crew called Dana and said the stripping was not coming along as they expected.  Dana had to put four-men on it and they took two one-half days to do 3 strippings, pressure wash, re-sand the joints, and 3 seals to get it to look back to normal.  There are still a few areas that are stained, but it looks so much better.    Dana was in contact with me every day to tell the progress.  He was also patient when i asked questions.  The pavers looked fabulous...like they should've looked when we hired the first contractor.  p.s. Dana also gave us the name of a company that could really repair the soft areas around the pool deck and did a great job too.

Dana, the owner, was prompt and very professional and informative when he came to give the estimate.  The two guys who came the next day to do the work were over an hour late but it was NOT their fault.  Another client had requested a last minute task not on their original work order (help hanging curtains of all things).  Being the customer oriented company they are, they did stay longer to help, which consequently made them late at my house.  However, there was no negative impact to me.  They started work around 9:30 and were through by 2 or 2:30pm.  I had no other appointments that day so being a little late was of no consequence to me.
The workers were very professional and took their time explaining exactly what they would do, how they would do it, and then after the work was complete explaining what they did.
I would definitely recommend them in the future.

This service was last performed 4 years ago, so we were long overdue. Our pavers were so bad that I was worried they would not come clean.
When the Tropical Pavers crew got finished the pavers looked as good as new.
Dana called me right away and was able to squeeze us into his schedule. we had a short window of time in which the work could be done. Since he did our pavers 3 years ago, he did not have to come out and measure. I was kind of concerned how much the cost of the work would have risen over this period of time. I was shocked to pay what I had paid for this same service 4 years ago.
We had a problem with a small area of pavers. All I had to do was call Dana and he arranged for his crew to come back and correct the issue,
The crew worked hard with only a short break.
THey gave me an envelope with the bill before they started working and all I had to do was write the check and put it in the envelope and seal it. 
The entire process was streamlined.
No complaints.
Will hire again.
It's little expensive, but they do a great job.

They were professional and kept their appointment. Their product was just not right for me.

Our concrete driveway (no pavers) had been plagued by black mildew growing in "micro-fractures" in the concrete which happened every rainy season, causing the structural integrity of the driveway and sidewal to begin to deteriorate, and to become a maintenance nightmare, needing frequent presure washing with bleach, and concern over what would happen when the "micro-fractures" became enlarged (due to moisture, and heating / cooling cycles during the rainy season and cooler nights, etc).
Based on Angies List recommendations and those of friend and neighbors, my wife and I decided to call Dana at Tropical Paver Sealing.
He and one of his crew members (no subcontractors) came out and evaluated the problem, and recommended using an eco-friendly, water-based concrete sealant on all of the concrete surfaces, after they pressure washed with an anti-mildew additive (also eco-friendly).
They showed-up on time, and were able to perform the work within less than a week from the date we first contacted them.
Without being asked, they gave us a great discount, and explained everything we needed to know about how the sealant worked, the life expectancy of the sealant, etc. 
After the pressure washing (also scrubbing with a power scrubber was complete, and the concrete had dried a bit, they applied the sealant.  Instead of "taking shortcuts", Tropical Paver Sealing's crew applied THREE coats of sealant, overlapping every time and making sure the surfaces were thoroughly treated. 
The sealant, while it does not cause water to bead like wax, is designed to penetrate the concrete and make the actual structure of the concrete bond as a whole structure, and the results (after having to stay off it with vehicles for a day or two) was nothing short of amazing!
While the sealant had an odor to it, it was more like a "sweet" smell, like strong orange blossoms, rather than the terrible xylene or toluene smell that can make you sick from other concrete stains, etc.
The sealant is clear, but leaves a bit of a "sparkle" when the sun hits it, so you can tell it's still on there and doing it's job.   Now, because the driveway is concrete and the product is designed to penetrate the concrete, the result is like having one large granite slab, as far as durability goes. 
The crew was professional and polite at all times, and answered all of our questions without hesitation.  They KNOW their products, and while some other pressure washign companies forget the small details, Tropical Paver Sealing watered-down all the grass and plants before the job began, and not one blade of grass was harmed by the mildewcide, or the sealant.
The end-result?  While the driveway does still get dirt and a small bit of mildew on the SURFACE, there is no penetration of tire marks, mildew, or "grunge" into the concrete itself.    The dirt is ON the driveway, not IN the concrete.
Plus, all deterioration of the concrete has been halted and actually reversed.  I can still see the "micro-fracture" marks, but they have not grown a bit since the sealant was applied.  
As testimony to Dana (the owner's) dedication to customer satisfaction, when our driveway started showing signs of some mildew re-growth, he sent his crew out WITHOUT CHARGE, to pressure wash it and the other concrete areas. 
It only took 1/2 hour for the pressure wash, without the need for "scrubbing". The dirt and mildew pretty-much rolled off the driveway, even after the rainiest and most humid summer season we've seen in years.
Top marks to Dana and his crew for being the best in the business! 
if we ever decide to place pavers on the concrete drivewway, the first call that will be made is to Tropical Paver Sealant to make sure they come out to preserve our investment before mother nature can start breaking-down the porous pavers!
100% recommended by a customer who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. 
Many thanks to Dana and Tropical Paver Sealing.  We are now lifetime customers, specifically due to their amazing attention to the ecology, our lawn and property, and for checking-up on the job months after it was complete, and not being satisfied until both I and my wife were satisfied.
