Can you turn normal concrete into exposed aggregate?

• <div><p>You can apply an exposed aggregate finish to existing traditional concrete, but you’ll need to resurface the concrete and include aggregate in the top layer of concrete. You’ll also need to prepare the surface beforehand to ensure a good bond between the materials. Adding exposed aggregate is a job best handled by a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-companies/">concrete professional</a>.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect finishing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on finish type, area size, and additional features like custom patterns or colors.</p></div>

Q: Which paint finish is best for concrete?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-types-exterior-paint.htm">Exterior paint finishes</a> come in a variety of options, but for concrete, your best bet is to go with an eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss latex paint. All three options are more durable than matte finishes and should help hide imperfections on your home&rsquo;s concrete surface.</p></div>

Q: What is the longest lasting concrete finish?

• <div><p>Epoxy tends to be the most durable concrete finish, holding up on garage and shop floors for years. Epoxy seals the slab's surface, will run into any cracks and crevices, and can help to level the surface, so it tends to be a durable finish for most applications. The downside to epoxy is that it can be difficult to remove once applied.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don’t seal my stamped concrete?

• <div><p>When you don&rsquo;t seal concrete, the colors and designs fade, water marks appear, and stains penetrate from the top layer to the lower layers, making them difficult to remove. Applying a sealant is strongly recommended for not only stamped concrete but any poured concrete. Speak with your concrete contractor about sealant options depending on the slab's intended use.</p></div>

Justin was great. He arrived on time and was respectful of my home. He explained the work he would perform and completed the repair within a reasonable time. I will definitely use Best Finish Services for any other electrical repair needs I may have in the future.

My concrete is now peeling up all over and it is absolutely horrible. They had a reasonable price and seemed to work very hard but this work just wasn’t worth the money. It also isn’t flat so water pools in it. I saw that it wasn’t very good right at the beginning and told them not to...
