"Concrete Smart did a fantastic job on the back patio area. They were quick to get an estimate, get us scheduled, and get the job completed. They gave us a competitive rate, quick with any communication, and very professional. So glad we went with them for the job!!! Thank you again!"
"Great job, my garage floor looks great. I had a few quotes by other's but decided to use Floor Prep, Jason (owner) seemed very knowledgeable and confident in his work. After doing my research he was correct, you get what you pay for and I only wanted my garage to be done once."
"I absolutely loved how efficient sonart was with their work! Truly do diligent, We hired them for a simple job just a new bathroom installation as well as flooring for the bathroom! Really pleasant experience from beginning to end!"
"Rudy & his team did a MARVELOUS job in "recreating" the look of my backyard (I don't recognize it lol). They replaced my old fencing and removed an old and poorly built pergola and removed and replaced decking floor with concrete. I would recommend (and have) R&D Concrete!"
"Job was completed very well. All the rain didn’t help, but the Tip Top team worked through the adversity and overall did a great job. I am especially happy with the extra wide reinforced gate! Sweet job!"
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.
In most cases, yes, sealing concrete will stop spalling. However, it’s not a perfect solution—it may only delay spalling. Call your local concrete repair contractor for quotes on the best sealing options to prevent spalling.
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.
Proper surface prep and application techniques by pros minimize peeling, ensuring longevity.
Driveway installation is challenging. While chip seal might sound easier to apply than asphalt, the process still involves heavy machinery and professional skills. Unless you come from a construction background, we recommend hiring an asphalt company to chip seal your new driveway. If you are paving the driveway entirely with chip seal, expect to pay $5 to $10 per square foot.
