How do you make old concrete steps look better?

• <div><p>You can refresh the look of old concrete steps by investing in concrete resurfacing, which can serve to patch crumbling or broken sections of concrete. You can also paint or stain it if there isn’t any surface damage to address and you’re just dealing with discoloration. For a quick and easy solution, you can also cover up any unsightly spots with potted plants, garden statues, lanterns, and other decorative items. Even if they don’t completely disguise the problem areas, they’ll still spruce up the overall look.</p></div>

Q: Does concrete stain need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Always seal concrete stain to protect against wear and preserve the color. This applies to acid- and water-based stains but not always to concrete paint. Many paints designed for outdoor use contain ingredients designed to protect and waterproof without the need for additional sealant. Fortunately, learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-seal-concrete.htm">how to seal concrete</a> is something most DIY-savvy homeowners can tackle.</p></div>

Q: How do you make concrete shine like glass?

• <div><p>Polished concrete gets its glass-like finish from several rounds of polishing, using increasingly finer grit diamond grinding pads. The concrete&rsquo;s hardness will determine which grits you need to get your desired finish. The densifier and sealer also contribute to the look of the final floor, so either talk to a concrete pro (or hire one) to achieve the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-floor-finishes.htm">concrete floor finish</a>.</p></div>

Q: What are the most popular colors for stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Earth tones, such as brown, beige, and tan, are some of the most popular colors for stamped concrete. You can also use reds and grays to mimic the look of brick or stone. The right color for your project depends on your area and the look you&rsquo;re going for.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent concrete cracks from forming?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-prevent-concrete-cracks.htm">concrete cracks happen</a>, so there&rsquo;s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.</p></div>

After we contacted them, they came out and surveyed the area to be leveled. They came back two days later (8:00 am); laser leveled the house and were finished by 2:00 pm that afternoon. Amazing how doors can close when they are level. We were very pleased with their work effort and honesty.

overall he was mostly good- just didn't finish the job and never returned once he was paid. Our T moulding came in late so he said that he would come back and install it. We called him when it came in and he never showed. We had already paid him for the whole job. After a few weeks and several...
