Years ago, concrete was concrete and nothing more. These days, concrete finishing services can enhance your project by providing stunning results and visual appeal. At Dean and Sons Construction, we offer high-quality concrete finishing that takes your space to the next level. Some of the most popular concrete finishing techniques are detailed below.
- Troweling – This is done when the concrete has been set but is still easy to work with. Specific tools are used to smooth the surface and give it a polished look.
- Broom Finish – A broom finish is often used on outside areas like sidewalks and driveways. After troweling, a broom is dragged across the surface to make a texture that improves safety and grip, which makes it harder to slip.
- Stamped Concrete – This concrete finishing method puts designs or textures on the surface while still soft. This can make the concrete look like natural stone, brick, or other materials, making it look nicer.
- Exposed Aggregate – Exposed aggregate concrete finishing highlights stones, pebbles, glass, or shells buried in the concrete. After the surface has been prepared, the top layer is washed away to show the aggregate. This creates a textural finish that is interesting to look at, appealing to a wide variety of property owners.
- Polishing – Polishing is usually done inside in places like businesses or high-end homes. We use the latest tools in the industry to grind the concrete surface in several steps. Polished concrete looks nice and is easy to clean and care for.
