Can you pour concrete over an existing basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete basement floor to save time and money on fully ripping out an existing concrete slab. However, it’s not a perfect solution, so consult a pro before moving forward. You must take specific measurements, and these kinds of floors don’t have the same longevity.</p></div>

Q: Is stamped concrete always slippery?

• <div><p>Stamped concrete can be slippery when wet, but certain stamp designs and types of sealers can reduce slip and add traction. When installing stamped concrete in areas that often get wet, take care to choose a pattern and sealer that&rsquo;s designed to prevent the surface from becoming too slippery.</p></div>

Q: How do you whiten concrete?

• <div><p>You can whiten concrete for unsealed and unfinished concrete with a solution or either muriatic acid or bleach and water&mdash;but never both. However, if your concrete does have a stain, finish, or polish, keep in mind that these hard chemicals could damage the topcoat. Your best bet otherwise is to power wash outdoor concrete slabs or clean indoor ones with a gentle cleaner such as laundry or dish detergent.</p></div>

Q: How long do I need to stay off of concrete after sealing?

• <div><p>As a general rule of thumb, allow 24 hours for penetrating sealers to cure and at least 48 hours of drying time for most topical sealers. Always check the instructions for the sealing product you&rsquo;re using to determine the drying time.</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>

The carpet looks great. He finished sooner than I expected. He was on time, cleaned up after himself, and hauled away the extra carpet. I was very impressed.

When Val first came out to quote my job, he wasn't sure if he would be able to remove the old tile without damaging the subfloor. Based on the year my house was built, he said it's likely the concrete subfloor would crumble when they pull up with the old tile. He gave me a quote to cover both...
