How long after pouring the concrete can you stamp it?

• <div><p>In most cases, you are good to stamp the concrete one or two hours after you pour it, but perform the thumb test mentioned above. You want the concrete to be dry enough so the stamps don’t sink, but wet enough that the stamps make a successful imprint. In general, this is a tricky question, as it also depends on the weather outside, the time of day, and the size of the poured concrete slab.</p></div>

Q: Can an old cement floor be polished?

• <div><p>Yes, you can polish an old cement floor. However, be aware that the first pass with the concrete grinder may reveal a few surprises and imperfections. You may also have to contend with the consequences of previous floor coverings, such as tile or carpet, which can leave a pattern in the concrete. Old concrete is more likely to produce uneven results if you want to use a dye or other coloring.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues with concrete flatwork addressed by professionals?

• <div><p>Cracking, spalling, and uneven surfaces often need attention.</p></div>

Q: Is stamped concrete hard to maintain?

• <div><p>No, stamped concrete is extremely durable and relatively easy to maintain. To keep your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-stamped-concrete.htm">stamped concrete clean</a> and help prevent staining, you should sweep any debris off it regularly, like you would with any other hard outdoor surface. You should also plan on resealing the concrete about every four years, which is about the same timeline you&rsquo;d expect from pavers and natural stones.</p></div>

Q: Does concrete change color while curing?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete changes color while curing, moving from a dark shade when wet to a lighter shade once dry and fully cured. Wait at least 10 days after pouring the concrete to gauge the color of the final concrete. If the concrete remains dark or discolored after that period, reach out to your concrete contractor with questions.</p></div>

Wanted a concrete pad but Derek noted major drainage problems. He removed grass and dirt and graded and installed new sod plus the pad. I am very pleased with the work as is the neighborhood!

This is a great company. They also did a HUGE job rebuilding plumbing in our new church. This included breaking up a concrete floor in the ladies bathroom and digging down about 3 or 4 feet to replace the drain pipe. All this work for a VERY GOOD price!!
