Sample patterns of decorative stamped concrete and exposed aggregate finished concrete.

Placing decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate concrete can add a great deal of beauty, including color and style to any concrete placement and finish project.

Professionally placed decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate concrete is just as durable and long lasting as any other type of conventional color concrete. Many who order this service, often tend to match the style, color and design of their home or surrounding landscape.

The actual cost of placing and finishing decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate concrete can vary depending on the size or scope of the project, and the contractor that's performing the work.

The overall cost is not prohibitive however, and can add a great deal of value to the home or business.

Some of the advantages of having professionally placed decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate concrete are listed below:

• increased value of the property;
• custom look, color and texture; and
• the decorative effects achieved in relation to the structure and it's design.

An exposed aggregate concrete finish can add a rustic/custom look to any structure. It is a rough washed surface that exposes the colorful aggregate just beneath the the smoothed cement surface. It is non-skid and is just as beautiful as it is durable.

Stamped decorative concrete finishes can come in about any style or design imaginable. Stamps come in patterns to match brick or any other type of stone texture, and can accomplish that authentic stone placement look at a fraction of what it would cost to lay real stone.

Stamped decorative concrete finishes can also be presented in any number of selected colors.

Decorative Concrete Overlays & Finishes

Sometimes there isn't a need to get rid of your old concrete porch. Many times, and under certain conditions, we are able to do what's known as an overlay. We take the existing porch and apply a polymer based mix to it's surface up to 1 inch thick and then apply the customer selected decorative stamped pattern to that. It's like getting a brand new porch for a fraction of the cost.

Our prices for decorative concrete overlays can vary greatly depending on the extent of the actual project involved. You might do well to allow us to inspect your potential overlay project ahead of time in order to get a free quote of the actual cost. We also overlay newer concrete that might have been finished poorly.

 

Though decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate finished concrete is highly durable, there are certain periods throughout the season that will prevent this type of finish work to take place.

Weather conditions often times will dictate when decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate finished concrete surfaces can be placed.

In order to offer the very best results when placing decorative stamped concrete or exposed aggregate concrete, we will not pour, place and finish these types of jobs if the temperature resides below 50 degrees ferenheight. There are various steps that take place, while working with decorative concrete, that require warmer temperatures. There are some, however, that may do the job if the temperature resides above 40 degrees, but we would rather prefer that the job be completed without any doubt as to the integrity of the finish itself.
