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>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on a garage floor?

• <div><p>Most garage floor paints are epoxy-based and available in DIY kits. One-part epoxies are simpler to apply than two-part epoxies, which have a more involved process. Sometimes, people also use latex-based paint because it&rsquo;s easier to clean up mistakes with soap and water. Either way, make sure your paint is specifically designed for concrete garage floors. It should say so on the label.</p></div>

Q: What are other garage floor concrete sealers besides epoxy?

• <div><p>Other garage floor concrete sealers besides epoxy include solvent-based acrylic and polyacrylic sealers, quick-drying polymer or polyurethane sealers, and scratch-resistant polyurea floor coatings that are ideal for exterior applications. These sealants come in basic clear forms and more decorative options, varying in price accordingly. </p></div>

Q: Is stamped concrete hard to maintain?

• <div><p>No, stamped concrete is extremely durable and relatively easy to maintain. To keep your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-stamped-concrete.htm">stamped concrete clean</a> and help prevent staining, you should sweep any debris off it regularly, like you would with any other hard outdoor surface. You should also plan on resealing the concrete about every four years, which is about the same timeline you&rsquo;d expect from pavers and natural stones.</p></div>

Q: Can you change the color of your concrete countertops?

• <div><p>Yes, you can change the color of concrete countertops multiple times. If you use paint rather than a stain, you can go from dark to light, but if you are only using a stain, you can go from light to dark.</p></div>

Mr. Crawford ( sorry I can't remember your first name). Was very professional and did not waste time talking. He set up quickly and was finished in no time. We had some mold on our siding and it no longer exists!! It looks brand new again and it's 15 years old. Thank you!!!

The installer did a very good job. The only hang up was the bracket for my shower seat. The package was labeled for a right side bracket, but a left side bracket was inside the page. It was mislabeled at the warehouse. Certainly not the installers fault. Bath Planet scheduled a time to come...

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...

Mr Winkler seemed to be taking notes as to what we wanted done. A week or so went by and we heard nothing from them. I called his office and spoke to MaryAnn (I think she is his wife) and she told me how very busy he was and that he had many estimates to finish. However, she said that he was...

They did great work. Stayed all day to finish the job before a storm moved in. Gave me a good price compared to other estimates I received. Very friendly and came back just to answer some questions I had. I recommend them highly.
