Stamped Concrete in La Mesa
Stamped concrete in La Mesa gives a patio or path the look of stone or brick for less. We come out and give you a free written estimate.
How It Is Done
The slab is poured and floated smooth. While it is still soft, the finisher presses pattern mats into the top. Color can be mixed in or spread on, and a darker release color can settle into the joints.
The window to stamp is short, so the finisher's skill shows. Ask for photos of past stamped jobs.
Choosing
Look at samples outside in daylight. Match the roof and trim. Write the pattern and color into the contract.
Upkeep
Sealer slows fading and helps shed stains. Ask how often to reseal. On steps and pool decks, ask about grit in the sealer so it grips when wet.
Common Questions
How often does stamped concrete need sealing?
It depends on the sealer, the sun and how the slab is used. We go over it on the visit.
Can I stamp an old concrete patio?
Stamping is done on fresh concrete. An old slab would need an overlay or a new pour. Ask us what fits.
