Seal the Deal: Understanding the Cost to Seal Your Pavers

If you're considering enhancing your outdoor space, protecting your pavers, and adding a bit of curb appeal, you've come to the right place. We've got the scoop on all things paver sealing, including the nitty-gritty details on how much it'll cost you. So, let's dive in!

Why Seal Your Pavers?

Before we get into the dollars and cents, let's quickly revisit why you should even bother sealing your pavers. Think of it as an investment in the longevity and beauty of your outdoor space. It helps to:

 1. Preserve Your Paver's Pizzazz

Sealing your pavers enhances their color and texture, giving them a fresh, vibrant look. It's like a facelift for your patio or driveway without the surgery bills!

 2. Protection Against the Elements

Sealant acts as a barrier against harsh weather conditions, stains, and unwanted weed growth. We've seen it countless times - a sealed driveway can withstand Mother Nature's temper tantrums!

 3. Easier Maintenance

Say goodbye to stubborn stains and tedious scrubbing. Sealed pavers are a breeze to clean. Your backyard BBQ spills? No problem!

How Much Does Paver Sealing Cost?

Here's the moment of truth: the cost. We know it's on your mind, and we're here to break it down. Here in the Tampabay Area you can expect to spend between $1.25 - $2.00 per sq ft. 

1. DIY vs. Professional Sealing

DIY sealing is cheaper upfront, but it can be quite the adventure. The cost mainly includes sealant and the necessary tools. However, if you're new to this game, you might encounter a learning curve, and the results may not be as professional-looking.

Professional sealing, on the other hand, might require a bit more investment, but it's worth it. The experienced hands and quality materials guarantee a long-lasting, pristine finish. Plus, you save time and avoid potential mishaps.

2. Factors That Affect the Cost

Several factors can influence the cost of sealing your pavers:

• Paver Type: Different pavers have different porosities, affecting how much sealant is required.
• Size of the Area: Naturally, a larger area will cost more to seal than a smaller one.
• Current Condition: If your pavers need extensive cleaning or repairs, this can increase the overall cost.
• Sealant Type: There are various sealants available, with differing price points. Discuss the options with your contractor.

3.Maintenance and Re-Sealing

Don't forget the long-term expenses. Sealed pavers need re-sealing every 2-5 years, depending on factors like weather and usage. Factor this into your budget to keep your pavers in top shape.
