What pressure washing and paver sealing actually costs in South Florida
Most South Florida contractors won’t publish prices. They want the call first, then quote you under pressure. We do the opposite: two services, two simple rates, published right here. Pressure Wash + Sidewalk: $700 minimum, then $1.50/sq ft for larger areas. Wash & Seal + Sidewalk: $1,200 minimum, then $2.40/sq ft. Sidewalk is always included free with every driveway job.
Here is what each service costs for the most common South Florida driveway sizes:

The Wash & Seal service includes 4,000 PSI hot water pressure washing, re-sanding of joints, and a full two-coat solvent-based sealer application. The Pressure Wash service includes cleaning only at commercial pressure. Both services include the adjacent sidewalk at no extra charge — no other South Florida contractor does this automatically.

What affects the final price
The per-square-foot rate is the foundation, but four factors determine where in the range your job lands. Understanding them helps you predict your quote before we even arrive.
Why South Florida costs more than the rest of the country
National paver sealing estimates online — $0.50 to $1.00 per square foot — are based on temperate climate markets. South Florida is different in two fundamental ways, and our pricing reflects both.
The core issue is service frequency. In Chicago or Atlanta, a properly sealed paver lasts 3–5 years before needing attention. In Miami-Dade and Broward, the combination of UV index 11+, 62 inches of annual rainfall, and year-round ambient temperatures above 70°F means biological growth recolonizes unsealed pavers within 60–90 days and visibly degrades sealant within 18–24 months. You are not paying more per job — you are paying for a service that needs to happen more often.
The material cost is also higher. Water-based sealers that work fine in dry or temperate climates do not hold up in South Florida’s humidity. We use solvent-based, two-component sealers that bond at a molecular level to the paver surface and resist UV breakdown. The product alone costs three to four times what a water-based sealer costs per gallon.
How to evaluate any paver sealing quote
When you get a quote from any South Florida contractor — including us — there are four things that should appear in writing before you agree to anything:
1. The sealer product and formulation. Water-based vs. solvent-based is the single biggest determinant of how long the result lasts. Ask specifically. If they won’t tell you, that answers the question.
2. Number of coats. A single coat of sealer on South Florida pavers is a waste of money. Two coats are the professional standard. Some contractors advertise “sealing” and apply one thin coat. Ask.
3. Proof of insurance and Workers’ Comp coverage. In Florida, if an uninsured contractor is injured on your property, you are potentially liable. Ask for a certificate of insurance before anyone steps on your driveway. We provide ours proactively.
4. What happens to the joint sand. Pressure washing blows out joint sand. A professional job includes re-sanding before sealing, otherwise the sealer locks down a surface with missing joint material and you get instability within months. Confirm it’s included.
