Default Brick Pavers - Sealing - Who, when and why?

Looking for some opinions and/or recommendations on re-sealing brick pavers on a driveway. Work was originally done by Old World Pavers about 18 months ago. They no longer do re-sealing jobs.

So....if you have had pavers for a long time (say 3 years or more)...do you regularly re-seal them? How often? If not, what is your reasoning for not re-sealing? (I have read internet articles pro and con on benefit for re-sealing...seems to primarily be aesthetic).

Do you do the work yourself? If so, cost and difficulty of doing the job?

If not, do you have a recommendation for a good, honest, reasonable contractor to do the job? Any ballpark costs (i.e. for 800 sq ft, they charged $250).

As always, the experience and wisdom of the many TOTV members is greatly appreciated.
