Will wet concrete bond to dry concrete?

• <div><p>No, wet concrete will not bond to dry concrete without an additional bonding agent. The common alternative is adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel layer under a concrete slab</a> to enhance bonding and create a stable foundation. The right choice depends on the height and thickness of your two slabs, local laws, and the use of the specific concrete slab. </p></div>

How thick should you pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 2 inches thick to maintain its stability and quality. Most concrete slabs fall between 4 and 6 inches thick, but you should be careful not to make the new slab too high or heavy. If you're considering a stamped concrete overlay, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-tips-hire-best-stamped-concrete-contractor.htm">hire an experienced stamped concrete contractor</a> to determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-thick-should-a-concrete-patio-be.htm">ideal concrete thickness</a>. </p></div>

Q: How thick does a concrete overlay need to be?

• <div><p>A concrete overlay should be 1/4 of an inch to 2 inches thick to form a strong layer on top of a base slab. The thickness depends on the condition of the existing concrete and the depth of your design and imprints. You should repair and clean the surface before applying a primer and a layer of fresh concrete. </p></div>

Q: What is the expected timeframe for completing a concrete floor installation?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 2-5 days, including preparation, pouring, and curing time.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a flagstone patio?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint a flagstone patio, but ensure you choose a durable latex paint specifically designed for outdoor use and heavy foot traffic. An elastomeric latex paint will fill in all the gaps and create a waterproof seal over the stone. Even the best products made for foot traffic can last for one to two years, on average, so be prepared to reapply paint regularly. </p></div>

Shane and Chris were very kind and professional. They explained the process of foam to lift up the concrete around my swimming pool. They cleaned up afterwards and it was a very nice experience. I would highly recommend this service.

Cole did a great job from start to finish! Instead of buying a new countertop, he made one out of white cement and pieces of colored, broken glass. The countertop and farm sink look wonderful.

He came several times. They did a half-a**ed job and never brought all the tools they needed. The cost was VERY high for the amount of work done, and they never even finished the job. They had to send another company out to finish their bad job!

A service person came to my home and replaced a kitchen faucet. He removed the old one and replaced it with a new one, and was finished in an hour or less. He did a very good job and cleaned up his mess before leaving.

Phil was very thorough in tying up any loose ends that needed to be taken care of prior to finishing my basement. From putting up drywall, to installing carpet, to all the finishing work...there was great attention to all the detail. He did a great job and was very clean in all his work.
