I am thrilled at how my home looks. It looks brand new again. I first called to get more information about the service. I spoke to the owner and told him that my last experience with another company was bad and wanted to know more about his company. He said, "this time you are dealing with professionals and we get the job done right". He went on to say "wait until you see your house when we are finished. You are going to love it" and he was absolutely right! I purchased the service that afternoon and he came out 2 hours later that same day! Upon arrival he and I walked around the house so that he could take a look at everything and explain what he was going to do. After we walked the house, I asked if he needed me to do anything, he responded with "Yes, go in the house and relax...we will take it from here". My house is Gleaming! He went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy. The special I purchased included power washing 25 feet of your sidewalk. I never knew how dirty my sidewalk was until he cleaned it. It looks unbelievable like I just laid new concrete. The owner and his son were professional, courteous, and on time. They did the job right! My house, gutters and sidewalk are now ready for the summer thanks to New Again Restoration!! Thank you, thank you, thank you

From my experience, They can't be trusted. To start things off they don't communicate at all. The appointment was set for 830 to 1030 and at 1045 I called the office. The office told me they were still at yesterdays job and that they were going to call me at the end of the day. If they would...
Everything done right! American Custom Concrete gets 5 stars for installing my in-ground pool deck with stamped concrete. The estimate was accurate, the costs reasonable and the hardest group of workers I've ever seen. Job quality was superb and could not be more pleased with Daniel...

Keith said he would arrive at approximately at 7am. His crew arrived early and he arrived at 7am. They had the old driveway broken up and in the dump truck by 8:30. The concrete was poured by 11am and the entire job was finished by 1:30pm. Concrete Vision did an excellent job. I would hire...

"What a terrible experience. There is no supervisor on site despite being told there would be. I had broken sprinkler lines despite having marked them in paint and pointed out the markings. I had to correct the concrete forms because the radius was not to specifications nor was it level. The stone wall was placed in the wrong place and had to be redone. And to top it off they broke both mine and my neighbors mailboxes and refused to pay for the damage."

Concrete Finishing questions, answered by experts
Generally speaking, stain is a better option for concrete because it soaks into the surface and won’t get worn away like a topical paint will. Painting concrete increases the risk that moisture will get trapped beneath the top layer of paint, which wears concrete down over time. So long as you know how to prep concrete for staining, you'll maintain its strength after you finish your project.
Yes, you can polish an existing concrete floor—as long as the slab is structurally sound and in good shape. In fact, that’s what makes this type of flooring upgrade so appealing. Polishing works best on bare concrete with minimal surface damage, although you can usually repair cracks and stains before the grinding and buffing begins. Instead of ripping out your existing concrete floor, polishing it can turn it into a high-shine showpiece that’s both practical and sleek.
Yes—as long as the area has been properly prepped. Different self-leveling brands and compounds have their own specific instructions for preparation; some may require that you add primer or grind the surface. Without proper preparation of the surface, the compound will not be able to fully bond to the concrete and fill the cure as a separate layer, which makes it prone to chipping.
Always seal concrete stain to protect against wear and preserve the color. This applies to acid- and water-based stains but not always to concrete paint. Many paints designed for outdoor use contain ingredients designed to protect and waterproof without the need for additional sealant. Fortunately, learning how to seal concrete is something most DIY-savvy homeowners can tackle.
It depends on the type of concrete and how long it takes to cure. Some concrete countertops can be sanded 3 days after pouring, while other slabs may require weeks to cure before sanding.
