Let’s be real, if you own a home in Florida with a paver driveway, patio, or pool deck, eventually you’re going to need to seal those pavers. And when that time comes, the big question is:

“How much is this gonna cost me?”

The answer? It depends, but we’ll break it down.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through:

  • The average cost to seal pavers in Florida
  • The biggest factors that influence pricing
  • What you’re actually paying for (and why cheap isn’t always better)

Average Cost to Seal Pavers in Florida

Let’s start with ballpark pricing.

For most Florida homes, paver sealing typically costs between:

  • $1.25 to $2.50 per square foot for a basic clean and seal
  • $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot for premium service (cleaning, sanding, high-end sealer)

Example Costs:

  • Small patio (~300 sq ft): $375–$1,200
  • Average driveway (~700 sq ft): $875–$2,800
  • Full pool deck (~1,000 sq ft): $1,250–$4,000+

Keep in mind: square footage isn’t everything. Some jobs take more prep, more product, or more time which brings us to the next section...

What Affects the Cost of Paver Sealing?

Not all paver sealing jobs are created equal. Here are the main factors that influence the final price:

1. Square Footage

More surface = more product and labor. Larger areas generally cost more overall but may have a lower price per square foot due to scaling.

2. Paver Condition

If your pavers are dirty, stained, or covered in algae, we’ll need extra time to prep and clean. If joint sand is missing or eroded, that also requires attention before sealing.

3. Sealer Type

There are different levels of sealer:

  • Basic sealers: Lower cost, shorter lifespan
  • Color-enhancing or wet-look sealers: More expensive, longer-lasting
  • 2-part commercial-grade sealers: Cost more but give premium protection and finish

At A Buff & Beyond, we only use sealers designed for Florida’s brutal UV exposure and humidity, so your finish actually lasts.

4. Accessibility & Setup

Tight corners, landscaping to protect, or pool enclosures can increase time and complexity which can nudge up the price.

What’s Included in a Professional Paver Sealing Job?

Here’s what you get when you hire A Buff & Beyond:

  • Eco-friendly pre-cleaning to remove dirt, algae, and stains
  • Soft wash surface prep to avoid damage
  • Joint sand inspection and refill (if needed)
  • Application of premium sealer, matched to your surface and preference (natural or wet look)
  • Post-clean walk-through to make sure everything is sealed and beautiful

We handle the weather, prep, and all the messy stuff so you don’t have to worry about blotchy results or wasted money.

The Risk of “Cheapest Price Wins” Thinking

You might find someone on Facebook offering to seal your pavers for $0.99/sq ft. Sounds great until:

  • They use low-quality sealer that peels in 6 months
  • They skip surface prep and seal in dirt and algae
  • They don’t fix your joint sand, leaving the pavers unstable
  • They leave roller marks, lap lines, or white haze
  • They void your paver warranty with improper techniques

A cheap seal job can cost you double when you have to fix or strip it later.

Local Florida Expertise Matters

  • Get a quote based on square footage AND surface condition
  • Ask what sealer they use and how long it lasts
  • Make sure joint sanding is included if needed
  • Ask for examples or photos of past jobs
  • Don’t be afraid to pay more for pros who stand behind their work

We’re not the cheapest but we’re the ones you call when the cheapest job went wrong.

Bonus: How to Get the Best Value (Not Just the Best Price)

This one’s subtle, but important: If your pavers have a white, dusty, or flaky appearance, the old sealer might be breaking down unevenly. This can lead to patchy color and bonding problems with future sealers if not handled correctly.

If you notice flaking, it's best to call a pro like A Buff & Beyond to properly prep, strip (if needed), and reapply a compatible product.
