Stained Concrete Patio Benefits
Durability
Decorative concrete patios are a long-lasting and robust alternative that can endure anything from heavy foot traffic to exposure to the outdoors to other wear and tear.
Low Maintenance
Decorative concrete patios require less maintenance than other types of outdoor structures. Regular cleaning is the only thing that is required to keep your stained concrete patio before and after looking great.
Increased Value
A decorative concrete patio may increase the value of your home by creating a beautiful and functional outside space for entertainment and relaxation.
Installation Process
Patio Concrete goes through 6 to 12 steps depending on the state of the concrete slabs and the desired look. We expertly turn your dull concrete floors into a lasting shine. Below are some steps to expect, but procedures vary from one project to the next by the type of aggregate and state of the slab.
Surface Preparation
Before staining, our patio installers thoroughly clean and prepare the concrete to remove dirt, debris, and loose material. We use methods like pressure washing, sandblasting, or other proven techniques to ensure a smooth, lasting finish.
Repairs
If we find any cracks, holes, or other surface damage, we will repair them before moving on to the next phase.
Overlaying
After cleaning and repairing the surface, an overlay is put on the existing concrete. Whether it is a thin protective layer of concrete or a decorative layer, our specialists will work attentively to achieve the desired finish.
Curing
Our stained concrete patio company will leave the overlay to cure for a while to guarantee that we have long-lasting concrete. The length of the curing period will vary based on the product used.
Staining
The surface will next be coated with the concrete stain by our staining concrete patio to achieve the desired color and finish. To achieve a unique stamped stained concrete patio, stains can be customized with a variety of tools, including brushes or sprayers.
Sealing
Finally, a high-quality sealer is put to the surface to protect it from damage caused by weather, foot traffic, and other factors. Furthermore, the sealer will improve the color and overall appeal of the stain.
