Will wet concrete bond to dry concrete?

• <div><p>No, wet concrete will not bond to dry concrete without an additional bonding agent. The common alternative is adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel layer under a concrete slab</a> to enhance bonding and create a stable foundation. The right choice depends on the height and thickness of your two slabs, local laws, and the use of the specific concrete slab. </p></div>

How long after pouring the concrete can you stamp it?

• <div><p>In most cases, you are good to stamp the concrete one or two hours after you pour it, but perform the thumb test mentioned above. You want the concrete to be dry enough so the stamps don’t sink, but wet enough that the stamps make a successful imprint. In general, this is a tricky question, as it also depends on the weather outside, the time of day, and the size of the poured concrete slab.</p></div>

Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals offer custom color and style options?

• <div><p>Yes, with a range of finishes to complement different architectural designs.</p></div>

Q: What project can I do at the same time as repairing concrete steps?

• <div><p>You may want to hire a concrete floor contractor to check out your home&rsquo;s concrete surfaces or inspect your home&rsquo;s foundation for minor damages they can fix while on site. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor the same day they fix your concrete steps, as well. General concrete repair experts often won&rsquo;t be able to handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation , so you&rsquo;ll need to hire a structural engineer for bigger projects.</p></div>

My driveway was totally cracked. I was scared I was going to have to replace the entire driveway. Luckily DryLock Pros was able to use the existing driveway, grind it down, and apply a new surface coat of concrete. My driveway looks brand new. Well worth the money. Highly recommend.

Terrific. We bought this home for our niece and had it completely renovated. We live out of state and had to depend on these folks to look after everything. They took the worry out of the project. And the finished product was excellent!!!
