"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!"
The cost to seal concrete is around $1,500 on average, but you could spend anywhere from $1,000 to $7,000, depending on the type of sealer used and the size of the space. You may want to seal concrete that receives a large amount of foot traffic or heavy wear. While you can seal concrete yourself with materials from a home improvement store, you must ensure the surface is clean and ready to accept the sealer. Hiring a professional is often recommended to ensure good, even coverage that provides adequate protection.
Garage floor sealers last anywhere from one to 10 years on average, depending on the type of sealer you use and the traffic it’s exposed to. Acrylic sealers have the shortest longevity, whereas most other options can last anywhere from five to 10 years. If you use an acrylic sealant to protect against stains, reapply every one to two years. Reapply other types of concrete sealers every five years for the best results and maximum protection.
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.
While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.
Costs depend on floor size, finish type, and additional features like in-floor heating.
