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

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-resurfacing-cost.htm">cost to overlay or resurface a garage floor</a> averages about <b>$3 to $9 per square foot</b>, depending on the preparations involved, the size of the floor, and the type of finish. Some decorative topcoats like stamped concrete and ornate overlays can cost from<b> $7 to $20 per square foot</b>, depending on the complexity of the design and finish.</p></div>

Q: Will concrete stain peel off?

• <div><p>Unlike paint, concrete stain won&rsquo;t peel off. Instead, the color absorbs into the surface of this porous building material. While it doesn&rsquo;t peel, the stain only penetrates the top layer of concrete, and as the top of the concrete eventually wears away, so will the stain. However, this process is much slower than paint peeling, especially on low-traffic surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to seal resurfaced concrete?

• <div><p>Sealing resurfaced concrete is not an absolute necessity. However, it is recommended, and in most cases, a high-quality concrete sealer can protect the surface from stains as well as water penetration, extending the life of the resurfacing material. Some sealers are formulated to protect pigments from fading due to UV exposure. Sealer tends to enhance the colors in decorative resurfacing applications, making them more vibrant and richer compared to the duller, more faded appearance of concrete colors without sealer. </p></div>

Q: What is concrete resurfacing?

• <div><p>Concrete resurfacing is the process of applying a new, thin layer of concrete over an existing concrete slab to give it a fresh appearance. The new layer is often between 1/4-inch and 1-inch thick, so it involves much less material than you&rsquo;d need to pour a new slab, which is often 4 inches thick. Resurfacing also gives you the opportunity to add color or texture to your slab without totally replacing it. </p></div>

We paid Absolute Roofing out of Elkhorn Nebraska just under $17,000.00 for tear off, new sheathing, and shingles. They finished our roof in two days as we have a very small bungalow built in 1930. Our original soffit lasted 85 years before Absolute Roofing worked on our home. As of now it is...

Outstanding service all the way around. When Jonathan was finished with the carpet cleaning, the heavily soiled foot traffic areas were just as clean as the rest of the carpet. This company is very easy to work with and performs quality work. I highly recommend Pro Care Cleaning.
