Driveways by Jay:
Homes services 877-713-2902, you will get Ed Duggan, he will do the estimate, Jay does the work, and as mentioned previously, he is very good. Still have the finish from around 10 years ago in the birdcage, NO sealer, excellent condition.

Sorry I do not have the name of the subcontractor, this was included in the Driveways by Jay lanai refinishing project. When we decided to redo the driveway, the same thing happened, the grinding was handled by the driveway coating company.

I've searched online but, haven't come-up with either. Thanks...

I've used Finney's as well to coat and re-seal the driveway. It was painted 10 years ago and looks like new.

I would never put these products on my concrete driveway or walkway. "You are putting lipstick on a pig". Many of the newer hoa's in Florida have brick paver driveways. But not The Villages. I put HC Concrete Stain on a Florida concrete driveway and garage in South Florida which works well. The stain was not slippery. The products these contractors use here are slippery. I suspect because they are expoxy.

Totally agree. If you have a raw, unfinshed concrete slab driveway, just pick out a color of solid concrete stain from Home Depot or Lowes. Water based, easy to roll on like latex paint. You might need two coats at first, but after that you can simply roll another coat on every other year or so to make it look like new. Non slippery, and looks professional.

Yeah, we feel the same way. After 9 years, our concrete driveway looks fine.
