What Does Paver Sealing Actually Cost in 2026? (Chicago Suburbs Guide)

If you’ve invested in a beautiful brick patio, driveway, or walkway, you already know that the Chicagoland climate is its worst enemy. From the freeze-thaw cycles in Schaumburg to the humid summer afternoons in St. Charles, your pavers take a beating.

The most common question we get from homeowners in the northwest suburbs is: "How much does professional paver sealing actually cost?"

To help you plan your next home improvement project, we’ve broken down the factors that influence pricing and provided a suite of local cost calculators to give you an instant estimate.

The Three Main Cost Drivers

In 2026, the cost of sealing isn't just about the "liquid" applied to the stone. It’s a multi-step restoration process. Here is what impacts your final quote:

1. The Condition of the Pavers

Are they brand new, or are they covered in moss and weeds? A "Clean and Seal" job is more affordable than a full restoration that requires heavy pressure washing and chemical stripping of old, failed sealants.

2. Polymeric Sand In-Fill

Most high-quality jobs include re-sanding. This stabilizes the pavers and prevents weed growth. The price varies based on the depth of the joints and the type of sand required for your specific stone.

3. Square Footage

Naturally, a sprawling pool deck in Barrington Hills will have a different price point than a small front walkway in Streamwood.

Instant Estimates: Localized Pricing for Your Town

Because labor rates and material availability can shift slightly depending on where you are in the Fox Valley or northwest suburbs, we have developed custom pricing tools for our local service areas.

Is DIY Worth the Savings?

While you can buy "sealer" at a big-box store in Arlington Heights or Palatine, professional-grade silane-siloxane or acrylic sealers are not available to the general public. Professionals use high-solids content products that last twice as long and provide better UV protection. When you factor in the rental of a power washer and the cost of premium sand, the "savings" of DIY often disappear after just one or two seasons.
