Which is better: epoxy or concrete stain?

• <div><p>Epoxy coatings for concrete basement or garage floors are popular. These two-part resinous coatings are waterproof and highly durable, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic spaces or areas where spills are likely. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-flooring-costs-advantages-and-installation.htm">epoxy flooring costs</a> more to apply than concrete stains and doesn't produce a natural-looking finish.</p></div>

Is concrete stronger than masonry?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain concrete floors?

• <div><p>Clean with a damp mop and reseal every few years to protect the surface and enhance appearance.</p></div>

Q: How often should I reseal a concrete patio?

• <div><p>Most concrete patios can benefit from resealing every 2 to 5 years, though the exact timing depends on the type of sealer used, how much wear and tear the surface gets, and how exposed it is to the elements. Acrylic sealers tend to wear down faster and may require yearly applications, while more durable options like epoxy or polyurethane can offer longer-lasting protection.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if concrete is fully cured?

• <div><p>You will know concrete is fully cured after 28 days when the new concrete reaches its maximum strength. Follow the cure time information on the manufacturer&rsquo;s label or ask your concrete pro about when your concrete is fully cured. You can drive your concrete once it&rsquo;s partially cured, usually around seven days after it&rsquo;s poured. After one week, the concrete is strong enough to hold up to regular-size vehicles.</p></div>

Bart Costello came over and gave me an estimate for a driveway seal coating with an oil-based product. He and his small crew arrived on time and trimmed grass that had grown out onto the driveway. Good job on that. Then he sprayed the sealant while his crew back-brushed. They even did a 40-foot...

The pool came out great. I have to admit that I did not enjoy dealing with a couple of their contractors. The people that work for them that dug the pool were great. The people that did the concrete were difficult to work with. They did the drainage wrong and I had to have the landscaper fix it.
