There are 2 basic types of sealers, water based and chemical based, and they may not be compatible. If you do not know which is currently on the pavers, make sure to test in an inconspicuous area. As for the actual sealer, we have been advised not to have our driveway sealed due to possible clouding of the sealer from excess moisture. So when you find a vendor, be sure to discuss these items, and get a warranty in writing.

I have 900 sf of 2 1/2 inch thick brick pavers. I get them sealed every five years. I hire someone to "surface wash" the pavers (not powerwash) for about $70. I then wait three days (sunny) for them to completely dry. I then apply the solvent based sealer myself. Which will take two coats. You can buy this sealer at Lowes. It's about $120 for a five gallon drum. I needed two drums. You must watch the weather forecast and make sure it will not rain for at least 24 hours after the second coat. Cars must stay off of the new sealer for 48 hours.
Your going to get some real high estimates. One guy wanted $1,300 for the whole job. Which is why I did a DIY project. Was not hard to do. So if your able, do it yourself and save the money. Plenty of YT videos out there to help you out.

FYI you can apply a solvent based sealer over a previous water based sealer. You should not apply a water based over a previous solvent base. If in doubt people should ALWAYS use a solvent based sealer.
