The one hint I would offer....when getting prices, ask them to price out the paint finish separately. T&D uses the heavy acrylic paint with knockdown finish (like you see around pool decks). This was going to be about $3/sq ft for our project. Instead, we went with Amy Newsom, who does the driveway/lanai/garage concrete staining (with designs and borders) for a cost of $1.55/sq ft. So, it was considerably less expensive and has a much more custom look.
Seven always has the very best information!

I've seen Amy Newsom's work and it is beautiful. I'm planning to use her for my birdcage floor.
