Sealing Your Patio
One of the most common concerns from customers is between the time the concrete is set and the finished product, please do not get nervous you are looking at an unfinished product. It is like looking at a car with bodywork and primer on it getting ready to be painted. There is a lot of detailing to be done before you see the finished product so please do not panic or get worried.
Concrete is a very durable material however, it is not indestructible. Certain precautions should be considered prior to the final coat being applied.
-
Do not let the dog or other pets test the area when nature calls.
-
Try not to spill coffee, soda or other products of that nature on your patio.
-
Simply put, try not to use your patio until we have applied the final coat.
