"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!"
Concrete coatings protect surfaces from wear, physical damage, abrasion, stains, spills, moisture, and weather. This protection extends the life of the concrete, adds durability, and can also improve aesthetics and safety.
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.
Epoxy coatings for concrete basement or garage floors are popular. These two-part resinous coatings are waterproof and highly durable, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic spaces or areas where spills are likely. However, epoxy flooring costs more to apply than concrete stains and doesn't produce a natural-looking finish.
If your concrete stains are green in color, it indicates the presence of mold or algae—which you should address right away. If left unattended, mold will spread to other areas throughout the home. However, be careful not to disturb mold on indoor concrete surfaces and work with a local mold remediation specialist for specialized care. Once free from mold and algae, seal your concrete to eliminate pores and gaps.
Unlike staining concrete, painting concrete often results in chips and peeling over time. You can expect numerous touchups over the years if the concrete is in a high-traffic area. Since concrete paints are opaque, you may also find it more difficult to get the exact color results you want. Lastly, painting concrete can make it much more slippery unless you mix in an additive for traction.
