Stamped Concrete

While you can keep its gray finish, you also have the option to spice up your concrete project. Enhance the aesthetic appeal of your concrete patios, driveways, or other concrete spaces by concrete stamping, also known as decorative concrete. It's a process that transforms ordinary, typical-looking concrete into a work of art.

You have several options to liven up your indoor or outdoor space. You can add colors and textures. Make it more personal by adding patterns or embossing a custom-made design to it.

What makes stamped concrete any different from the typical concrete finish?

Stamped concrete is not any different from regular concrete ones. Apart from their finish, they are durable, heat-resistant, and long-lasting. But unlike ordinary concrete finishes, stamped concrete can be challenging to maintain. That depends on the texture or patterns you choose. As with the cost, it's a lot pricey than the standard gray concretes. But, they are less expensive compared to pavers and other similar materials.

Benefits of Stamped Concrete 

Concrete stamping is a perfect choice and a great alternative if you want your space to look extra without spending too much. It mimics natural stone, brick, tile, marble, and wood flooring, to name a few. You can do it on your concrete flooring, outdoor kitchen, backyard patio, or anywhere else on your property. Decorative concrete allows you to be creative and gives you room to explore your artistic side. But, apart from that, using stamped concrete has many benefits. The major ones include: 

Wide Variety of Designs

Our company offers a wide selection of decorative concrete designs. We have a wide variety of color choices, textures, and limitless pattern selections to make your space look edgier. With concrete stamping, we can mirror the looks of a natural stone, brick, tile, wood, and other more expensive materials out there. If you want to make it more personal and unique to you, we also do custom design. Our design team can help you come with something or bring what you envision to life.

Option for Border Installation

Each of our clients is different from one another. While some may opt for an unstructured concrete surface, others prefer a more defined concrete finish. If you are the latter, our company installs borders around any stamped concrete project as well. This process takes more time and involves more money. But, having them will give the project a clean and structured look. It adds up to your space's total look and value -- be it a patio, driveway, or interior space.

Versatility

You can use stamped concrete for many areas on your property. You can install it in your patio, driveway, even your pool decks, walkways, and entryways. Some may use it to level up their walls, too! It has many uses, indeed. Also, we can easily install decorative or stamped concrete on your existing concrete surfaces. You don't necessarily need a new concrete slab to work on. But, of course, you need an expert like ourselves to do the job right.

How We Do It

Concrete stamping is not something you can do yourself unless you have the knowledge and skills for it. As a contractor with years of concrete stamping experience, we always tell our clients to leave it to the experts. Otherwise, you might end up spending more than you need. Spare yourself from headaches and costly repairs. Hire us for your stamped concrete needs.

Concrete companies like ours follow a particular process when installing stamped concrete. The process serves as our guide to provide our clients quality results that adhere to the standards set by the industry (and the state). In our case, we do these basic steps:

Step 1: Project Site Assessment and Preparation 

Before starting the concrete stamping process, our team goes to the site to assess what we need. We also look into the space we are going to work with. If it's an existing concrete slab, we make sure it's in excellent condition. If we see even minor damage, we address it first before the actual stamping. We also clean up the space to ensure we start working on a clean slate.

As part of the preparation process, our team measures the space we will be working on. It is essential to ensure that the measurements are correct before the actual work to avoid problems along the way. We do measurements on a per square foot basis. Once measurements are reasonable, we proceed with delivering materials on the site. We see to it that we have all we need to start and finish the job on time.

Step 2: Pouring Concrete

This refers to the actual pouring of the concrete mixture into the area. By the way, if you prefer to add color to your concrete surface, we make sure to add the color to the mix before we pour it into the space. Our team of industry professionals does this by using the right tools and equipment. We recommend you finalize the color options (e.g. base color, accent colors, etc.), pattern, or design you want before the mixing and pouring process to avoid delays.

Step 3: Concrete Stamping

Once the concrete is ready, our team will proceed with the stamping process. How long the process will take depends on your stamping requirements. If your preferred color choices, pattern, or design are tricky, it will take time to finish. Otherwise, we get to finish the job in a day or two, depending on the size of the project. But, don't worry, we commit to always complete our tasks on time.

Step 4: Concrete Sealing

Sealing is the most essential part of the process. This makes the entire project put together. Proper sealing will determine the longevity of the project. This is also one reason why you should hire an expert concrete contractor to do the job. You need a professional concrete technician to ensure the job is done right the first time.

Step 5: Quality Check, Clean-up, and Turnover 

As a rule of thumb, in our company, we leave no room for mistakes. Rest assured that you get the best project output possible. That is why we have a dedicated team that does quality checks for all our stamped concrete projects. The team sees to it that what we give you is high-quality stamped concrete that will last for years -- a lifetime even. We do a quality check once the stamped concrete dries up, which lasts for three to five days. We do foot traffic tests, as well as vehicle tests if we are working on a driveway or garage floor.

Also, before we leave the site and turn over the project, our team pulls out all equipment and cleans up the space. By the way, concrete is very low maintenance, and so are stamped concrete projects. We make sure the space is ready for you once you see it. That's a total customer experience that only our company can offer.
