It really depends how well it was done and if you reseal it. Mine is having a hard time because of lack of grinding of the old paint under it. If well done and maintained, I'm assuming 10-15 years?

We used American Concrete Staining.
Lots of artwork and designs to choose from. My 3 car driveway and sidewalk entrance was around $1600 in 2023. Very satisfied.

We are south of 44 and have not had that problem and our house is coming up on 5 years old.

My friend has a painted front porch and driveway. An unpainted porch will absorb some water, her porch slope is toward the house (thankyou to the builder). That standing water makes a mess. The diveway is slippery even with sand added to the paint. I wonder if there have been any slip and fall lawsuits?

We now have a concrete overlay finish on our driveway and lanai and I haven’t had much issue with the dark spots. But, I spray my landscape stone yearly with wet-n-forget to control mold buildup there. While I’m at at I will spray the gutter in front of my house to include the large storm drain opening. It is very effective at staying ahead of/removing (over time) the black buildup on the concrete. There is remarkable difference one side to the other on my street between treated and untreated.

We had our driveway painted 17 years ago and sealed every few years, still looks new. My husband painted our garage floor about 10 years ago and it did not hold up where the hot tires stand. Carpio concrete creations did the drive and this year he came to reseal and saw the garage floor, he ground off the old paint, repainted, sealed the garage and driveway for 1600. AND gave a 5 year guarantee for the garage floor,

Could you provide the company that did your driveway?

Thank you so much!

As others have said, prices have changed so get a current quote. We chose to have the driveway resurfaced and epoxy coated with a decorative design and extra grit, to help avoid falls etc. Decorative concrete limited is who we used 2 years ago, they were significantly less costly than the other 4 quotes we got. One thing I've quickly learned since moving here is to obtain multiple quotes for everything. Good luck

Here's another vote for Edison ConCreations. Had drive, walkway, 2-car garage, patio and lanai done at the same time.

We used Cody Cottle (licensed and insured) from C.J.C. Landscaping, Inc. at (352) 461 - 6233. We are in Tierra del Sol, and after the neighbors saw our pavers, three others hired him. Great work, very fair prices. He also powerwashed, sanded and sealed our patio.

I recommend him highly.
