Free estimates amy l. Newsom, inc
 
I HIGHLY recommend Amy L. Newsome, Inc. for Designer concrete coating of driveways, sidewalks, garages, patios, lanais, pools.

She did our driveway but we had a special design that WE wanted in the center.

Driveway & sidewalk were $1200.

We used Cost Less for our garage, lanai and patio. They do nice work but were very casual about their schedule. The pretty much showed up when they wanted. Our three day job ended up taking over two weeks. We were pleased with the results but never knew if or when they were coming to work.

Romaldo Painting
 
We used Romaldo Painting for our driveway (2 car) and walk way and porch area. (We live in an Amarillo Ranch). He did a great job for $863. He was recommended to us by neighbors. He started and finished promptly! His telephone number is 352-455-9614. You can PM if you want to do a driveby of our home.

I've seen their trailer around TV but no, I would not recommend them simply because of their unreliability.

Driveway & lanai finishing
 
We had our driveway done with an acrylic texture that resembles flagstones & our lanai was stained to match the pattern & color of the diagonal tiles in the house. We livein Buttonwood on Dalecroft Trail. Price for both was around $2400.00 by Florida Deck 352 348-2150. Quality work, done when promised, no negatives. We are happy with the work. Many people stop by to admire the driveway. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...igApplause.gif

We just bought a resale and the paint on the driveway is peeling. Does anybody know what it would cost to sandblast the old paint off and stain/seal about 850 sq feet?

AGAIN thank you TOTV for the expertise you bring to us newbies

My neighbor painted their driveway themselves. In time in began to peel. When we had our driveway stained by COST-LESS, the neighbor also had theirs re-done.

COST-LESS brought in an outside guy that used a grinder to take all paint off. They would not guarantee work until all paint was off. Memory says that costs them about $600 in addition to the staining or about $1/square foot. When I look at their driveway, the staining is beautiful, but in certain light conditions, I can see circular grind marks....

I do not know if there are options to grinding or if this grinder made mistakes, but the quality stain contractors will know....
