I'm thinking of getting pavers for my driveway also and because I was getting so much conflicting info I called the manufacturer . The rep (very knowledgable) said pavers do not have to be sealed every year - maybe every 3 years or so. Not sealing every year is not the reason for pavers cracking.

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.
Call Desmond Harris, Owner & Operator, Covenant Janitorial LLLC.
Desmond is very conciencious, honest as the day is long and will do a fantastic job. I had him reseal my driveway several times, he replaced broken tiles at no add'l charge. He is also great at a number of handy jobs like clothe dryer vent cleaning, an other around-the-house jobs:

He's good and you will be pleased.

This thread is more than 4 years old. We did have Desmond do it the first time and he did a fine job. This past fall, we had Steve's Onsite Services, a TOTV sponsor, do it and he also did a quality job at a reasonable cost.
