Paver cleaning & restoration — what it costs in Florida (2026)
Not every surface needs sealing today. These are the cleaning-and-restoration services homeowners ask about most, with typical Florida ranges. Rows marked estimate are modeled from 2026 national cost guides and our own jobs; the others are Kingdom Elite’s standard 2026 rates.
| Service | Typical Florida price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure wash only (pavers, no sand, no seal) | $0.35 – $0.80 / sq ft (estimate) | Surface-cleaner rig, organics treated. Market range; we normally bundle this into a clean-and-seal. |
| Clean + re-sand joints (no seal) | $0.75 – $1.25 / sq ft (estimate) | Wash, treat algae/mold/efflorescence, fresh ASTM C-144 sand, hydro-compacted. |
| Strip failed / peeling sealer | $1.25 / sq ft | Kingdom Elite standard rate. Done before resealing; up to 2 days depending on condition. |
| Full clean, re-sand & seal — brick pavers | $1.50 – $1.75 / sq ft | Kingdom Elite standard rate; two coats of Ure-Seal H2O. Florida market runs about $1.25 – $2.50. |
| Clean & seal — travertine | $1.50 – $1.75 / sq ft | Kingdom Elite standard rate; anti-slip additive available. |
| Clean & seal — marble, limestone, flagstone | $1.40 – $1.50 / sq ft | Kingdom Elite standard rate. |
Paver repair costs in Florida (2026)
Repairs are priced by the affected area, not the whole surface — a sunken 40 sq ft strip by the garage is a small job. Ranges below are modeled from 2026 national repair guides (estimate); Kingdom Elite quotes every repair on site, free, before any sealing.
| Repair | Typical Florida price | What’s involved |
|---|---|---|
| Re-level sunken or shifted pavers | $7 – $15 / sq ft of affected area (estimate) | Lift pavers, rebuild the base, re-lay, re-sand. Most common Florida repair (washout after heavy rain). |
| Replace cracked, stained or missing pavers | $5 – $35 / sq ft (estimate) | Depends on matching the original paver; salvaged pavers from an edge keep the color consistent. |
| Re-set loose edge restraint / border | $3 – $6 / linear ft (estimate) | Stops the field from spreading; usually paired with re-sanding. |
| Re-sand only (joints washed out, pavers stable) | $0.50 – $1.00 / sq ft (estimate) | Included free inside any clean-and-seal. |
| Kingdom Elite repairs (all of the above) | Quoted on site — free estimate | Repairs are completed before sealing so the seal locks the fix in. |

What’s included in the price
Every clean-and-seal is a full process, not just a coat of sealer:
- Pressure wash & rinse.
- Treat organic growth (algae, mold) and any staining.
- Re-sand joints — ASTM C-144, wet-sanded / hydro-compacted for a fuller, harder joint.
- Seal — flood coat plus top coat of ICT Ure-Seal H2O.
What moves your price
- Square footage — larger jobs, lower cost per foot.
- Surface condition — heavy staining, mold/algae, or efflorescence adds cleaning.
- Re-sanding — depth of failed joint sand.
- Failed sealer present — must be stripped first ($1.25/sq ft).
- Repairs — sunken or loose pavers, edge restraint.
- Finish choice — Ure-Seal H2O Gloss / Natural / Mid.
DIY vs. professional — the real math
For a typical 500 sq ft patio, DIY materials and rental run about $290–$580 (estimated from 2026 Home Depot / Lowe’s retail); the professional job runs about $750–$875 all-in. But the gap isn’t just labor:
| Sealer tier | Typical solids content |
|---|---|
| Box-store / consumer sealer | ~12–15% |
| Professional-grade acrylic | ~30% |
| ICT Ure-Seal H2O (what we use) | ~45% |
Solids content is the film-forming resin left behind — more solids means a thicker, longer-lasting, breathable coat that survives Florida sun and humidity. A box-store seal often stops looking sealed within 9–12 months.
Cleaning matters too. Sealing over a surface that isn’t fully clean traps dirt for good. Cleaning is done by water flow (GPM), not pressure (PSI). We run a 5.5 GPM professional rig with a surface cleaner; a typical rental moves ~1.5–2.5 GPM and under-cleans the surface a homeowner then seals over.
The honest verdict: DIY saves roughly $200–$450 in cash, but risks hazing, streaks, and uneven sheen with no warranty — and a failed DIY seal costs $1.25/sq ft to strip and redo, often pushing the true cost past the professional job. DIY makes sense on small, newer, clean surfaces; a pro is the safer value on driveways, pool decks, and faded pavers.
