Service-Specific Questions
How durable is stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete services provide both beauty and strength. With proper installation and maintenance, stamped concrete can last 25+ years. Sealing every few years helps preserve color and texture.
What maintenance does concrete require?
Concrete is low-maintenance, but to extend its lifespan, consider:
- Sealing every 2-3 years to prevent moisture damage.
- Regular cleaning to remove dirt and stains.
- Prompt concrete repair if cracks appear to avoid further deterioration.
Can you replace only a section of damaged concrete?
Yes! Our concrete removal and concrete repair services allow us to replace specific sections rather than the entire slab. We match the new concrete to your existing surface for a seamless finish.
What are the benefits of decorative concrete?
Decorative concrete contractors can enhance both residential and commercial properties with:
- Increased property value and curb appeal.
- Custom colors and finishes.
- Unique textures that mimic high-end materials.
Can you install a new concrete driveway over an existing one?
In some cases, we can pour new concrete over an old driveway if the foundation is structurally sound. However, if there are major cracks or sinking, complete concrete removal and a fresh pour may be the best option.
What’s the difference between stamped concrete and decorative concrete?
Stamped concrete services involve pressing patterns into wet concrete to create textures that resemble stone, brick, or tile. Decorative concrete includes a broader range of techniques like staining, polishing, and exposed aggregate finishes.
Do you offer custom design options for patios and walkways?
Yes! As a skilled patio contractor, we offer a variety of finishes, colors, and patterns to match your style and outdoor space. Walkways can also be customized with decorative or stamped designs.
How do I know if my foundation needs repair?
Signs that you may need a concrete foundation contractor include:
- Cracks in walls or floors.
- Uneven floors or doors that don’t close properly.
- Water pooling near your foundation.
What’s the best time of year to pour concrete?
Spring and fall are ideal, as extreme heat or cold can affect curing. However, with proper techniques, we can successfully complete residential and commercial concrete projects year-round.
