Stamped Concrete in The Village
If you are in the process of considering options for a new walkway, driveway, patio or pool deck in your The Village home, you should give serious consideration to stamped concrete. Durable and easy to care for, it can offer you a wide range of flexibility in terms of its application and installation. In terms of cost effectiveness it is far more affordable than other types of paving material such as masonry or natural stone.
We here at Bill’s Custom Concrete have been providing concrete solutions to homes and businesses throughout Oklahoma City since 1976. In that time we have completed our fair share of stamped concrete applications. Our years of experience with stamped concrete have allowed us to develop the following list of advantages and things to consider regarding paving with stamped concrete in The Village, Oklahoma.
Stamped Concrete Has Fast Installation Time
My crews and I strive to complete all of our jobs with speed, precision and quality. After all, I am not only a business owner, but I am also a homeowner and I know how frustrating it can be to have work crews at your home for any length of time. Stamped concrete offers you the advantage of curtailing the installation time by as much as half when compared to other paving surfaces. Trust me, we take no offense in your desire to want us out of your home as quickly as possible.
Performance and Value of Stamped Concrete
Concrete is extremely durable. Did you know that there are concrete structures dating back to the times of ancient Rome that are still in active use today? Such is the strength and durability of concrete. This is also why using stamped concrete as your surface choice will allow you to measure its usable life in decades, not just a few years.
Not only does its durability add to its value, but so to does its performance. You see, stamped concrete is extremely easy to maintain. It is as close to install and forget as you are going to get. When we install stamped concrete we apply a coat of sealant over the surface. That coat will protect the concrete for over three years. You do not have to worry about any other maintenance issues for another three to four years. Even then, the only thing you have to do is apply a fresh coat of sealant, or call Bill’s Custom Concrete to reseal your stamped concrete for you. It is that easy to care for.
It is also resilient. Stamped concrete in The Village tolerates and resists a broad range of temperatures. From extreme heat to freezing cold. That is a characteristic that not all paving surfaces can boast about.
Eye Appeal and Safety of Stamped Concrete
There is so much customization that you can apply to stamped concrete that you can make your installation as unique as you desire. It can be shaped into any form of your choosing. It can be color impregnated, imprinted and textured as well. There have been many installations where I have imprinted family crests or company logos on stamped concrete. Regardless of what your home or garden’s architectural style might be, stamped concrete can be installed to match its visual integrity.
The texture of stamped concrete also allows it to offer greater traction than other surfaces. This makes it more slip-resistant, a property that is particularly useful if you have children or elderly people waking on its surface. It also makes it the default choice for poolside use.
My Final Words on Stamped Concrete
To sum it up, when I am asked about my professional opinion regarding stamped concrete I earnestly reply by stating that it is durable, affordable and very low maintenance. When asked for my personal opinion, I rely by saying that it looks great, blends nicely with any architectural style and that it is highly slip-resistant. In general, even if I weren’t a concrete contractor I would still strongly recommend stamped concrete as one of the best pavement surfaces around.
