Driveway finish
Looking for a contractor that finishes driveways. We are considering pavers or stencils so ideally, it would be someone who does both.

Be very careful about pavers, 1 or 2 neighbors have already had these removed due the high maintenance requirements. We had out drivewat painted, using stencils to look line cobble stone, , that was about 5 years ago, unfortunately, it appears the guy who did our "driveways by jay" may no longer be doing this work. He used a XYLENE based paint which appears to have a very good life time. Just getting ready for the first sealing. I would suggest that whoever you get to paint your driveway use a similar product. Also, if there was any previous finish applied, this will need to be removed ($$$$), IMHO, do NOT allow a new finish to be applied over an old one, I did this by accident, the old one has failed, and now I am stuck with a bad spot in the new finish.....

I am extremely happy with my bare concrete finish. No cost and no maintenance. When I want to see a painted or paved driveway, I look at the neighbors' driveways.

Pavers have to be sealed every couple years or they look like crap, plus replacing broken ones, which happens a lot. Also I hate that lip at the garage door, you have a 2 plus inch bump going into the garage.. I personally like just the plain concrete, get it power washed once in a while and your good. Painted ones can get expensive to reseal if they use the good stuff, had one in a previous house and hated it.

I agree on the maintenance of pavers. Would never get them, but it came with the house and too expensive to remove at this point!!
