Anyone have a good recommendation for someone to paint my driveway. I'm not looking to have anything real fancy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know what they usually charge.
Thank you

Why would you do it, it’s a driveway , I’ve had 14 beautiful homes in Florida, no one ever got out of car and said ‘Oh your house is so beautiful but the driveway isn’t painted’ No one notices and I don’t care ‘ lol

OP, whomever you choose, make sure they apply an anti-skid (slip) coating, we used shark grip but there are others available. If you do not do this, you may end up with a skating rink when it is wet. We had ours painted about 6 years ago, unfortunately the compant 'Driveways by Jay' may not be active any more, he did great work.

Actually they do but won't say anything anywhere near your face and will agree with your choice since it's your driveway and your money. If your neighbors don't paint then you don't stand out, if they are painted you do. If you ever go to sell,the buyer will look at the neighborhood and calculate that if they buy your house they will need to paint the driveway. Painting the garage floor is another add to value since it reduces maintenance and facilitates cleaning if done correctly. Decrative Concrete did ours but there are a lot of good painters out there.

Best answer I saw was "it's your driveway and your money." If it makes you happy then, by all means, do it.

Driveways by Jay is still around. We just had him do our drive way, side and back of our courtyard villa and he did an excellent job.
This is our 3rd home he has done for us and we have always been pleased. His phone is 877-713-2902.

We had Edison ConCreations Inc. do our patio and also did a neighbor, he has many many patterns and color combinations to choose , very neat and professional good pricing, beautiful job. Free quotes.

My driveway and front walk were painted when I bought the house but the colors are faded and kind of tatty looking now. Also not the design I would have picked. Does anyone know what the process is for repainting? Do I have to choose a darker color that will mask the original one? Or is there a way to easily remove all of it?

I'd rather not waste a contractor's time with estimates until I'm sure I'll be going ahead with it.

Thanks.

We had our driveway, garage and lanai painted in 2007 by Amy Newsome. Terrific job! This year we decided to replace the faded paint. New paint should not go over old paint, so they grinded the old paint off. Very labor-intense and costly, buut the outcome was well worth it!
