Default Painting/staining concrete in birdcage

We are going to have our birdcage floor painted or stained. Does anyone have suggestions for products and/or contractors?

Our neighbors had their's painted a few months ago and it is pulling up in areas. We want to avoid that.

Thanks.

Probably use the same people or businesses that do driveways.

If painted it will peel eventually. I had mine stained which penetrates the concrete and can't come up. Call Amy Newson........308-7410. She was the most highly recommended and her prices were rock bottom. She did my lania and front walk leading to the door.

Amy Newsome did our garage and then our driveway and walkways. She will also do our lanai when we figure out what we want.

One more vote for Amy. She did our lanai....looks better and was less expensive than neighbors down the street.

Amy Newsome For The Win. She did our birdcage last year and it looks like it was done yesterday. A birdcage may be small (ours is) and you will pay a minimum charge for it but Amy will know what product to use based on what you want done and is very reasonable.

We've used Amy twice for two different birdcages.
We're very pleased with her work.
We probably should be doing some kind of yearly maintenance?
Does anyone know if we should be using a sealer or some type of "refresher" product?

If I remember correctly Amy told me to call her in about 4 years to have it re-sealed. That's the lanai and walkway. Driveways more often.
