Default Driveway Sealing and Repair

I have a 3 year old Hand Trolled Driveway originally installed by GoConcrete now out of business. I have names of 3 companies that I was told can re-seal and repair which I am looking to have done. The names are:
~Florida Deck Decorative Concrete
~HD Hand Designs LLC
~King-Krete
Any prior experience/information regarding these companies or other company suggestions would be appreciated.

Default Driveway Sealing

My driveway was also done by Go concrete several years ago. I have had ours sealed twice since we moved here in 2013. First time I used Finney's Pressure Washing & Driveway Sealing (Scott Finney) 352-753-3629. His price seemed kinda high, so last year we had Eric Rodriguez (Innovative Pressure Washing) at 352-572-4177. Eric was cheaper, and did a fine job.

I'd be interested in who you find to do quality repairs affordably.
I can't recommend Florida Deck, their quote was sky high compared to others for the initial work. I think they're out for easy money

Default Driveway sealing

I had my driveway and front walk resurfaced with 1/2 inch cement and scored to look like flagstones in 2011 by Stone Creations.They stained the area with 3 different colors and finished with a sealer with grit to prevent slipping. In 2016 I had them return and reseal the total area. Before sealing they re- stained the area to bring out the colors and painted the grout lines. They are not cheap, but my experience is that they do a good job.
Over time I have had several people stop to ask me who did my driveway so it must look good.
They are hard to contact and do not return calls, you have to keep after them.

We used King Krete reseal our drive, full 2 car plus cart drive. $1100, did the best job in the 3 times it has been resealed. No repair

Do not care how good they are but would not do business with vendor that does not bother to return my calls.

NOW i get it,,, 'hand-TROWELED',,, NOT Trolled',,, ok, that makes sense,,, we use mostly pool trowels when applying overlay cements & its done while on hands & knees,,, not many rectangular trowels
