Who is Albert Kelly?

I’m Albert Kelly, founder of Kingdom Elite Services LLC, a veteran-owned company established in 2016 and based in the Tampa Bay area. I started this company to build something that lasts — for my family and for the homeowners we work for — and that same standard is behind every article on this site.
My experience isn’t from a manual. It’s from the driveways, patios, and pool decks my crew and I clean, re-sand, and seal across Tampa Bay and Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. We run a specific 4-step process on every sealing job — pressure wash, treat organics and any staining, re-sand the joints, then seal — using Ure-Seal H2O, a professional water-based sealer, applied as a flood coat plus a top coat.
That day-in, day-out field work is why I can tell you things most articles can’t: that Florida pavers need resealing every 2–3 years (sooner on a full-sun driveway, longer on a shaded patio), that sealed pavers take foot traffic in 4–6 hours but need 48–72 hours before you park on them, and that sealing over dirt traps it there permanently — which is why cleaning and re-sanding come before sealer on every job, no exceptions.
I publish this resource because most of what’s written about paver sealing in Florida is either generic national content or a sales pitch dressed up as advice. Homeowners deserve straight answers — what things really cost, how long sealer really lasts in this climate, and when you genuinely don’t need to hire anyone. If this site helps you make a better decision about your own pavers, it’s doing its job — whether you ever call us or not.
Why You Can Trust What You Read Here

Real jobs. Verified facts. No pay-to-play.

Named products, real process steps, real cure times, and our actual rates — and if we can’t verify a claim, we don’t print it.

Real jobs, not theory

Everything here comes from actual work on actual Florida pavers — the same sun, rain, and humidity you’re dealing with. When an article describes efflorescence or failed sealer, it’s because we’ve handled it on real driveways and pool decks.

Verified facts only

We publish specifics we can stand behind: named products, real process steps, real cure times, and — where we publish pricing — our actual standard rates, with the honest caveat that final pricing is confirmed on-site.

Dated and kept current

Every guide shows its publish date and its last-updated date. Products, prices, and methods change; when they do, the articles get revised — not left to quietly go stale.

No pay-to-play

Nobody pays to be recommended here. No sponsored placements, no affiliate-driven “best of” lists. When we name a product, it’s because we use it or have direct experience with it.
