Short answer: In the Tampa Bay area, a full clean, re-sand & seal for existing pavers runs $1.50–$1.75 per square foot — pressure washing, algicide and efflorescence treatment, fresh joint sand, and two coats of Ure-Seal H2O Gloss. Travertine runs $1.50–$1.75, and marble, limestone and flagstone run $1.40–$1.50. A typical two-car driveway lands around $900–$1,575.
No surprise charges. These are our standard rates; final pricing is confirmed after a free on-site assessment. Your exact number depends on square footage, the condition of the surface, and whether any repairs or sealer stripping are needed.

What that means by project
Using our $1.50–$1.75/sq ft clean-and-seal rate, here is roughly where common Florida jobs land:
| Surface | Typical size | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| Small patio / walkway | 200–400 sq ft | $300 – $700 |
| Screened pool deck | 500–800 sq ft | $750 – $1,400 |
| Standard 2-car driveway | 600–900 sq ft | $900 – $1,575 |
| Large driveway + walkway | 1,200+ sq ft | $1,800+ |
“Larger areas usually cost less per square foot — the prep and setup spread across more surface.”
For broader context, Florida paver sealing across the market generally runs about $1.25–$2.50/sq ft; our pricing sits at the competitive end.
What changes your price
- Surface condition. Heavy staining, mold, oil spots, or old flaking sealer means more prep — the single biggest cost swing in Florida’s climate. Badly failed sealer may need stripping first ($1.25/sq ft).
- Paver vs. natural stone. Travertine and marble use gentler prep and specific sealers (priced separately at $1.25–$1.30/sq ft).
- Repairs needed. Sunken, shifted, or separated pavers are repaired (re-leveling, edge restraint, resetting) and quoted on site before sealing.
- Re-sanding. Fresh joint sand is included in our clean-and-seal — it locks pavers in place and blocks weeds and ants.
- Access and layout. Tight, multi-level, or heavily landscaped areas take longer.
Why Florida is its own case
Florida’s intense UV, humidity, and afternoon storms break sealer down faster than in drier climates. A quality sealer here typically lasts 2 to 3 years before it needs refreshing, which is why most Tampa-area homeowners reseal every 2–3 years. Sealing also fights the mold, algae, and efflorescence (white haze) that Florida moisture loves to grow on unsealed pavers — which is why our process includes an algicide and efflorescence treatment step, not just a wash.
What you’re actually paying for
- Pressure wash & rinse the surface.
- Treat organic growth — algae, mold, and staining.
- Re-sand the joints — fresh ASTM C-144 sand, wet-sanded / hydro-compacted with water to lock it deep in the joint — a fuller, harder joint than dry-sweeping.
- Seal — a flood coat plus top coat of ICT Ure-Seal H2O for long-lasting protection.
DIY vs. hiring a pro
You can DIY: sealer runs about $30–$60 per gallon (covering ~150–200 sq ft), so materials alone are roughly $0.50–$1.00 per sq ft. But the savings are risky — improper cleaning, sealing over trapped moisture, or over-applying causes white haze, streaks, and a sticky finish that’s expensive to strip and redo. Most Florida homeowners hire a pro because the climate is unforgiving and a botched seal shows.
Is paver sealing worth it?
Yes, for most homeowners. Sealing protects a paver investment worth many thousands of dollars from staining and weather damage, keeps colors vivid, locks joint sand in place, and makes routine cleaning far easier — at a fraction of the cost of replacing pavers.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to seal pavers in Florida?
A full clean, re-sand & seal for pavers runs $1.50–$1.75 per square foot in the Tampa area; travertine, marble, limestone and flagstone run $1.25–$1.30. A typical two-car driveway lands around $900–$1,575.
How often should you reseal pavers in Florida?
Every 2–3 years for most homes, because Florida’s sun, humidity, and rain wear sealer faster than drier climates.
Does the price include cleaning and sand?
Yes. Our clean-and-seal is a complete clean-and-seal service — pressure wash, organic/efflorescence treatment, fresh joint sand, and two coats of sealer are all included.
What if my old sealer is peeling or hazy?
That usually needs stripping first (removing the failed sealer) at $1.25/sq ft, then resealing — we confirm on-site.
Is sealing pavers cheaper than replacing them?
Far cheaper. Sealing is a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars; replacing pavers costs many times more, so sealing protects that investment.
