The one hint I would offer....when getting prices, ask them to price out the paint finish separately. T&D uses the heavy acrylic paint with knockdown finish (like you see around pool decks). This was going to be about $3/sq ft for our project. Instead, we went with Amy Newsom, who does the driveway/lanai/garage concrete staining (with designs and borders) for a cost of $1.55/sq ft. So, it was considerably less expensive and has a much more custom look.

Seven always has the very best information!

I've seen Amy Newsom's work and it is beautiful. I'm planning to use her for my birdcage floor.

we added a huge birdcage for $9,000 because we put a pool in. Was it worth it? You bet!!! nothing like sitting outside and enjoying the lanai/birdcage and no bugs/lovebugs getting in and eating, entertaining outside!! Investment we definitely are glad we did. Good luck.
