Anyone had pavers sealed lately?
 
We had our driveway and sidewalk pressure washed and would like to have it sealed. I inquired with a company that had an online ad. They looked at property records to determine the size and quoted me $800!
This seems high to me, especially since my driveway is average size.

I did mine in February. I mean I applied it. The solvent based sealer is 50.00 or so a gallon. I used seven gallons.

I chose solvent based over water based because it had more solids. It was quite simple to do.

How were the results? I'll be doing mine in the fall

Rolled mine myself. Oil based product seals the sand between the pavers so they won't move and crack as easily. Don't forget to sand first and get the fine sand. Ace Hardware has the 5 gal cans and that is enough for 2 car average driveway. You can do it in about 2 hours or less.

It looks fantastic. I was sure to sweep in polymeric sand and remove the excess. I am glad I added texture grit to make it non slip. I can really see the colors in the pavers now.

The solvent stunk quite a bit. I think it had quite a bit of xylene in it.
