The short version
Based on published rates from paver sealing companies across Miami-Dade, Broward and the rest of Florida, a basic clean-and-seal job typically runs $1.25 to $3.50 per square foot, with premium, full-protocol service running closer to $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot. Smaller jobs, generally under 500 square feet, tend to land at the higher end of that range, often $2.20 to $3.25 per square foot, since cleaning equipment, a crew and materials all have to show up regardless of job size. Larger driveways, patios and pool decks, especially 500 to 1,000 square feet and up, usually come down to $1.50 to $2.95 per square foot. Many companies also carry a minimum job charge, commonly in the $700 to $800 range, to cover that same fixed cost of showing up.

Not all pavers cost the same to seal. Concrete pavers are generally the most affordable to seal. Brick pavers usually run a bit higher, since they’re more prone to erosion and staining over time. Natural stone like travertine is typically the most expensive to seal, because it’s porous, often needs efflorescence treatment first, and requires a different, more careful cleaning and sealing process than concrete or brick.
If your pavers have sealer that’s gone white, hazy or is peeling, it usually has to be chemically stripped before a new coat can go down properly. Stripping is commonly priced at $2.50 or more per square foot on top of the resealing cost itself, since it involves harsh chemicals and extra labor. This is one of the most common ways an initially cheap sealing job ends up costing more in the long run, if the original work wasn’t done correctly.
Sealing is usually priced together with the cleaning and joint work that comes before it, which is why the ranges above already include pressure washing and re-sanding as part of the job. If your pavers need more than sealing, cost depends on the specific work:
A quote noticeably under $1.50 per square foot is worth a second look. It can mean a thinner sealer, a skipped cleaning step, or joints that don’t get properly re-sanded, all of which show up later as a hazy finish, weeds coming back fast, or a coat that fails within a year instead of the two to three years a proper job should last. It’s worth asking any contractor what’s actually included, what sealer they use, and whether they’re licensed and insured before comparing price alone.

| Material | Typical Sealing Cost per Sq Ft | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete pavers | $1.25-$2.75 | Less porous, standard cleaning process |
| Brick pavers | $1.75-$3.25 | More prone to erosion and staining |
| Travertine / natural stone | $2.50-$4.00+ | Porous, often needs efflorescence treatment first |
Multiply your total square footage by $1.25 and by $3.50 to get a rough floor and ceiling for a standard concrete job (adjust upward for brick or travertine using the table above). If a quote lands noticeably outside that range in either direction, ask why. Below the range often means shortcuts on prep or a thinner, cheaper sealer. Above it should come with a clear explanation, heavy staining requiring extra treatment, difficult access, or a premium sealer product, not just a higher number with no reason attached.
Based on published South Florida market rates, a basic clean-and-seal job typically runs $1.25 to $3.50 per square foot, with premium service closer to $2.50 to $4.00. Your exact price depends on the size and condition of your pavers, which is why we quote after seeing the job.
Most companies, including us, carry a minimum job charge, commonly in the $700 to $800 range for a standard project. This covers the fixed cost of bringing equipment and a crew regardless of how small the area is.
Yes, typically. Travertine is porous, often needs efflorescence treatment before sealing, and requires a more careful process than concrete or brick, which is reflected in the price.
A quote well under $1.50 per square foot often means a thinner sealer, a skipped cleaning step, or joints that don’t get properly re-sanded. It can look like a good deal until the coat fails within a year instead of lasting two to three.
Stripping is commonly priced at $2.50 or more per square foot on top of the resealing cost, since it requires chemicals and extra labor. It’s one of the most common reasons an initially cheap job ends up costing more overall.
Yes. Sealing is normally quoted as one package that includes pressure washing and joint re-sanding beforehand, which is why the per-square-foot ranges already account for that prep work.
It depends more on the material and condition than on being a pool deck specifically, though pool decks are often travertine or natural stone, which does cost more to seal than concrete.
