Question 2

How long does stamped concrete last?

Accepted Answer

Properly installed and maintained stamped concrete can last 25-30 years or more. The longevity depends on factors like proper installation, sealing every 2-3 years, and protection from harsh chemicals. In Pierce County's climate, regular maintenance is key to preventing moisture damage and preserving the appearance.

Question 3

Can stamped concrete crack?

Accepted Answer

Like all concrete, stamped concrete can develop cracks over time due to ground movement, freeze-thaw cycles, or improper installation. However, we minimize this risk through proper site preparation, adequate thickness (typically 4-6 inches), control joints, and reinforcement with rebar or wire mesh. Our installations include these preventive measures as standard practice.

Question 4

Is stamped concrete slippery when wet?

Accepted Answer

Stamped concrete can be slippery when wet if it has a smooth finish and heavy sealer. We address this by using textured stamp patterns and applying non-slip additives to the sealer. For pool decks and high-traffic areas, we recommend slip-resistant finishes that maintain safety without compromising appearance.

Question 5

How do I maintain stamped concrete?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is simple: sweep regularly, wash with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals and de-icing salts, and reseal every 2-3 years. The sealer protects against stains, moisture, and UV damage. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every installation and offer resealing services to keep your stamped concrete looking new.

Question 6

Can you match existing stamped concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can match existing stamped concrete patterns and colors for additions or repairs. We bring samples to your property to ensure the closest possible match. However, exact matches can be challenging due to weathering and color variations in the original concrete. We'll discuss realistic expectations during the consultation.
