"After shopping around for a couple of years, I finally ran into Rafferty Paving. A lot of places don't return your call if they're busy or rarely follow-through with estimate appointments. But, dealing with Sam was truly a pleasure. We were finally able to get our driveway looking like new and was able to add on the driveway extension to utilize for additional parking and kid's play area. Sam and his crew were friendly and professional and did a GREAT job! My wife and I really love the work they did and really makes the entry of our home look nice. Would recommend to friends, family and neighbors... "
"10 of 10. Great company. Delivered what they promised. Best price with quality work. Did entire driveway in one day with large portion excavated. Was nearly half the price of three competitors who provided less guarantee for their work. Will hire to do walkways and backyard. If you fail to look at this company you will throw money away and be frustrated. A+ business."
"The work done by Lars Construction LLC was impeccable! They were so helpful from the very first call. I would recommend Lars Construction LLC to anyone seeking great results and quality service."
Evenly wetting a wood floor before applying a stain is called water popping. It raises the grain and opens the wood’s pores to absorb more stain. When done properly, it can make the stain look darker and deeper. However, it’s important to evenly wet the floor and let it dry before applying the stain.
Proper surface prep and application techniques by pros minimize peeling, ensuring longevity.
As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.
Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.
The cost to overlay or resurface a garage floor averages about $3 to $9 per square foot, depending on the preparations involved, the size of the floor, and the type of finish. Some decorative topcoats like stamped concrete and ornate overlays can cost from $7 to $20 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the design and finish.
Yes, you can seal old or existing concrete, but proper preparation is crucial. The concrete surface must be clean, dry, and free of any incompatible old sealant. To check if an old sealer is present, drip a few drops of water onto the surface; if the water is absorbed in under five minutes, it's ready to be resealed. If you plan to use the same type of sealer that was previously applied, you may not need to remove the old layer. However, if you are using a different type of sealer, the old one must be completely removed. Before applying the new sealer, thoroughly clean the concrete and repair or fill any cracks to ensure a smooth, well-prepared surface.
