Love the look of natural stone, but hate the price and time it takes to install? Well, in the Greenville and Appleton areas, there is a general contractor who specializes in stamped concrete applications, which is an alternative to natural stone, brick or masonry work: McHugh Construction, Inc. They have been serving residents and business owners for over a decade with custom concrete repairs, removal, and now – decorative concrete techniques.
Where can stamped concrete be utilized?
Stamped concrete looks great on patios, driveways, pool decks, and courtyards. Basically, stamped – or imprinted – concrete can be used anywhere cement is utilized and visible.
What are the benefits of stamped concrete?
The main benefit of stamped concrete is that it is completely customizable. No two projects are ever alike. Color and pattern options are vast, so if you don’t know exactly what you want, McHugh Construction, Inc. can make recommendations based on their expertise and experience. Another attractive quality of stamped concrete is that it is less expensive than natural stone, such as cobblestone, slate, or flagstone. It is also quicker and less labor-intensive to install; and, once properly sealed, easier to clean because it doesn’t absorb stains like natural stone.

Without epoxy, even the thickest of concrete will deteriorate over time – especially in a garage setting. The only way to protect your surface is to coat it with a reliable epoxy floor system. Not only will you be adding an extra layer of security, you will also make your flooring easier to clean because stains cannot penetrate epoxy like they can with just bare, unsealed concrete. The process is simple: A thin layer of concrete will be removed from the area you want to add epoxy. It is then cleaned and cracks will be repaired. Then, a primer is applied to the concrete surface. After 24 hours of dry time, the surface gets sanded, and then cleaned again to remove debris. The top coat is then applied (color chips can also be added at this point if desired). On the third day, a clear top coat is applied to add an impermeable layer to your concrete surface. Seventy-two hours later, your surface is ready to be used and enjoyed!
