We had a aggregrate driveway job that we quoted and did, it was over 4000 sq ft to clean and seal with V-seal 101 which does nothing to the appearance
it only seals the concrete, which was thoroghly explained to the customer up front, anyway after cleaning, we noticed a blotchy apperance to the aggregrate, after closer inspection, it looks as though someone in the past had used some type of acrylic sealer, which maybe 10-15% was still on the driveway, but spread out all over and blotchy, anyway when finished the customer wasnt happy, with the original exposed aggregrate flat look, and blotch look, I told them on the contract, we were to clean only and seal with V-seal 101 which does nothing to the apperance, now the customers wants the blotchy spots gone and now she wants a sheen, so, I told them it will be triple the cost if we have to strip off the old acrilyc sealer which she denies ever using, (just like customers do when estimating a deck) and re wash, then apply a double coat of V-seal luster seal, this is why you need to put everything in writing as we did upfront which they signed, and they will be charged accordingly, this drive way sealing job will cost them well over $5000 but I guess if you have 4000 sq ft of exposed aggregrate driveway, $5000 isnt much in the whole picture, I figured a driveway like that would cost between $60 to $ 75,000 so to protect it for life at $5000 is pretty cheap insurance....
