How long after pouring the concrete can you stamp it?

• <div><p>In most cases, you are good to stamp the concrete one or two hours after you pour it, but perform the thumb test mentioned above. You want the concrete to be dry enough so the stamps don’t sink, but wet enough that the stamps make a successful imprint. In general, this is a tricky question, as it also depends on the weather outside, the time of day, and the size of the poured concrete slab.</p></div>

Q: Can I do my own concrete stamping?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to pour your own concrete slab and stamp it yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Pouring concrete is a relatively simple operation, but for larger projects, you&rsquo;ll have to pay for concrete delivery anyway. From there, you&rsquo;ll need to make sure you get the proper thickness to avoid cracking and sinking, and then you&rsquo;ll need to work quickly to get the pattern stamped on the surface at the right time&mdash;too early, and the pattern may settle back down, but too late, and it won&rsquo;t set at all. Leave the work to a concrete professional for the best results.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect the drying time of concrete sealers?

• <div><p>Factors like the time of day you choose to seal the concrete, temperature, humidity, and airflow will impact drying time. To shorten the drying time, seal concrete in the late afternoon on a day with a temperature between 45 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete dye or stain better?

• <div><p>Concrete stain is usually better than dye for longevity because it is more durable and shows less wear and tear. While stain is not as saturated as dye, it gives you more control over the final look of the concrete countertops.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected timeframe for completing a concrete floor installation?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 2-5 days, including preparation, pouring, and curing time.</p></div>

I quoted 4 companies and all offered around the same price. I went with T&M because Todd was very responsive, respectful, and honest. He quoted the job, showed up on time to quote and to work, and finished earlier than expected. I 100% recommend these guys.

There was a bit of trouble communicating as the owner's english is just fair. Jose struggles with showing up when he says he will. He actually started the job on 8/21 and here it is 9/8 and it's still not finished completely. This should have been a 1 week (tops) job.
