"I talked to two other contractors one never met time restrains( two hours late for first meeting no call) and the other contractor told me I was wrong and changed what I wanted and went $10,000 over my budget. Vista Del Sol was right on time sent the quote sooner than promised. They started and finished the job sooner than promised. The supervisor (Jesus) did a great job with materials and schedules. The drywall crew was in and out so fast I almost missed them. Paint crew didn t spill anything and cleaned up spotlessly. The tile team was fantastic, the best I ve ever seen. We love our new bedroom and bathroom."

Concrete Finishing questions, answered by experts

The curing time for troweled concrete depends on different factors. The type of concrete mix used in the project can impact the time it takes for the concrete to cure, and climate conditions such as moisture and humidity can as well. It can take several days to a few weeks for concrete to fully cure, depending on the concrete mix.

You can whiten concrete for unsealed and unfinished concrete with a solution or either muriatic acid or bleach and water—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.

Whether it's better to stain or paint concrete depends on your budget, desired aesthetic, and DIY skill level. Generally, staining is a more durable option because the stain soaks into the concrete's surface and won't wear away like a topical paint coating. Painting concrete can trap moisture underneath the paint layer, which may cause the concrete to deteriorate over time. However, concrete paint offers a wider variety of colors, is typically easier and less expensive to apply, and is effective at covering up existing stains or blemishes on the surface.

Skim coating is when you apply a thin layer of drywall compound to textured walls, creating a smooth surface. This can be done for relatively little money—skim coating costs an average of $600—and can be a simpler way to smooth a wall versus removing texture. Since you apply the skim coat directly on the texture, it is a faster process than removing the underlying texture altogether.  

Yes, you can pour new concrete over an existing concrete patio. This process, known as resurfacing, is a common repair method used by professionals. For the best results, ensure the old concrete surface is clean and free from debris. The new layer of concrete should be at least three to four inches thick and include reinforcement materials, such as fiberglass fibers or wire mesh, to prevent cracking and spalling. With proper technique, a resurfaced patio can last for 15 to 20 years.
