Good luck on your looking for a good contractor. I had mine painted and am quite happy with the results. However, I hose down and scrub mine frequently. You will never believe how many inconsiderate roamers use your painted driveway to turn around. They drive almost up to the garage and then back out. Of course, most of them have recently driven through some oil or grit. Catch them doing it and their response is to give you the fickle finger of fate. So, along with getting it painted, get yourself a big flower pot to place at the end of the driveway and maybe you will be lucky enough to reserve the use of your driveway to you and your family.
