Concrete stamping can be confused with stamped overlay. Not quite. Both options have stamped concrete patterns. Traditional stamped concrete in Fort Wayne refers to the pattern being stamped onto a newly poured slab. Overlay, however, means that the patterns are stamped on an overlay on top of an older, but still functional slab. Overlays are cheaper than the other options. For patios, pools decks and driveways with extensive damage, traditional stamped concrete is often preferred. The slab is so damaged that it must be removed and replaced with new concrete. Finally, stamped. Fort Wayne's overlay resurfacing can be used to repair or update existing surfaces that have suffered minimal or no damage.
It is crucial that you choose the right contractor to work on your project. Here are some factors to consider:
Replace: If restoration or repair is not an option, get more information about the cost of a new driveway. Remember that there are additional costs involved in replacing the driveway, rather than simply pouring one new.

Concrete pavers are made up of individual pieces that have been laid in various patterns. Pavers are less labor-intensive than stamped concrete because they are individually placed and more susceptible to shifting over time. Also, they allow for weeds to grow through their joints. Stamped concrete offers a similar appearance without any of these problems.
After cleaning your driveway, you should inspect it for any large cracks or deeply soiled areas. You can then patch up any problems with patching compound. After the driveway is saturated, run a water hose to drain the remaining water. Finally, use a broom or a vacuum to clean out any remaining water. This cools the slab. It also prevents any water from being drawn out by the concrete resurfacer you plan to lay. Pay attention to the weather. To cure the resurfacer, temperatures must stay above 50°F for eight hours and above freezing for 24. You can proceed to the next steps as long you anticipate these conditions.
