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 the longest lasting concrete finish?

• <div><p>Epoxy tends to be the most durable concrete finish, holding up on garage and shop floors for years. Epoxy seals the slab's surface, will run into any cracks and crevices, and can help to level the surface, so it tends to be a durable finish for most applications. The downside to epoxy is that it can be difficult to remove once applied.</p></div>

Q: What is skim coating?

• <div><p>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&mdash;<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-skim-coat-drywall.htm">skim coating costs</a> an average of $600&mdash;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. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint concrete with a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint concrete with paint rollers. In fact, using paint rollers is considered one of the easiest ways to evenly apply paint on concrete. A paint roller with a 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick nap&mdash;which is basically a fabric paint roller cover&mdash;is best for painting concrete. The thicker the nap, the more paint it can hold to fill those pesky concrete cracks and crevices.</p></div>

Q: Can I do a DIY stamped concrete installation?

• <div><p>While it's possible to do your own stamped concrete, it is generally not recommended. The process requires significant skill and specialized equipment to achieve a durable, high-quality result. It's easy to mess up the pattern, leaving you with an unsightly finish. Furthermore, any mistakes during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process can increase the risk of future cracks or sinking. Timing is also critical; you must apply the stamps when the concrete is at the right stage of curing&mdash;too early and the pattern may fade, too late and it won't set at all. Finally, it may not be cost-effective, as buying the necessary stamps can cost as much as hiring a professional. For the best results, it is advisable to hire an experienced concrete contractor.</p></div>

"I shopped numerous contractors for an estimate, not only for price but references, I physically looked at projects completed by SMRT that were simular to my project and found SMRT Construction most reasonably priced, and the quality of workmanship was what I was looking for. I received an estimate with a complete itemized break down of work to be completed on the project, (it was very detailed). Upon agreeing on price and terms of contract, it was explained that the roofing materials had to be ordered and would take about 4 weeks to be delivered, and work could not start untill materials were on site. Once materials were on site, work begain that following Monday as promised, and the entire project was completed before scheduled finish date. The project went very smooth, He makes everything look so easy, this was a very difficult job, based on height and how steep the pitch of roof, Michael made sure safety measures were always taken into consideration at all times. "Kudos" Great job.
