saw several good driveways as while househunting but learned that particular artisan was out of biz,,, for the most part, tv work wasn't bad - just not inspired,,, however, that usually goes to owner's wallet/budget more often than not,,, in the end, its generally about price w/'true value' getting lost in the shuffle.
eg - lady on tatum terrace is having her d/w redone - slippery when wet & boring as it repeats theme of many others in the 'hood,,, i expect the same operator for most of those

In my personal experience, I have 5 or more coats on my lanai and pool deck. The knockdown was done when the pool was built, and have never had one incident in which it was slippery either by rain or pool water. As far as the "boring", I'm not sure what you're referring to, as the OP simply wants her lanai floor painted.
