Get matched with top concrete finishing pros in Salem, NM

Q: How do you get a smooth finish when pouring concrete?

• <div><p>The trick to getting a smooth finish when pouring concrete is to smooth the surface of the concrete with a magnesium float. This tool helps bring the finer, smoother aggregate to the surface for a cleaner finish. Don&rsquo;t overdo the floating process, though, or the slab can become weaker and start to scale. </p></div>

Q: Can I pour self-leveling concrete over concrete?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;as long as the area has been properly prepped. Different self-leveling brands and compounds have their own specific instructions for preparation; some may require that you add primer or grind the surface. Without proper preparation of the surface, the compound will not be able to fully bond to the concrete and fill the cure as a separate layer, which makes it prone to chipping.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is recommended for resurfaced concrete?

• <div><p>Regular sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and functionality.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a good concrete stamping company?

• <div><p>To find a reputable concrete stamping company, begin your search online and rule out any companies that have a history of negative customer reviews or complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact each company and ask for examples of past work, and choose those that impress you and align most with the style you want. Finally, ask for quotes from the remaining companies, and hire the company that most fits into your budget. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to confirm that the company you&rsquo;re going to hire is licensed and fully insured.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for troweled concrete to cure?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

"The service provided by D&R was excellent. They quickly came out to the work site to provide an estimate after we first made contact and were able to beat all other bids. They did an excellent job with all work; the building being remodeled is from 1914, and they were able to do a great job of blending contemporary materials in a way that matches the very old building. Also, all work was finished a week ahead of schedule. "
