Can you put pavers over concrete?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-installing-pavers-over-concrete-bad-idea.htm">You can put pavers over concrete</a> following a similar procedure as above, but there are a few additional risks you need to be aware of—like stability, drainage, and the patio’s thickness. Once you lay a paver patio over concrete, it will be nearly impossible to treat any issues that your concrete may face, like cracks or water pooling. So while you may save some time and money on concrete removal and site prep, it may cost you more in the long run.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to grind concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>For homeowners, it&rsquo;s better to dry grind concrete. Dry grinding is the method described above and can be done by experienced DIYers for smaller projects. Wet grinding requires a big volume of water, a way to collect the slurry created by the water and dust, and an environmentally-safe place to dispose of the slurry. In general, only professionals do wet grinding. </p></div>

Q: What type of floor finish should I choose?

• <div><p>There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. </p><p>Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it&rsquo;s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. </p><p>Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to topcoat a garage floor?
