Stamped Concrete Morris County, NJ

This was a concrete pool with plain concrete surrounding it and a plain concrete patio near the house. The patio was in decent shape with only a few minor cracks, but really needed a decorative facelift. The pool decks was in very poor condition. There was severe settling, ice damage to the coping and extensive cracking. We were able to repour the the existing coping to complete repairs, then resurface the entire pool deck. We also built a decorative shear decent water feature in the place of an old diving board.

Porch, Patio, and Sidewalk in Bergen County

We resurfaced an existing porch area that originally had wet laid bluestone. The bluestone was set level which lead to water damage near the house. The homeowner removed the bluestone and did the necessary repairs on the house prior to us arriving to this job. We were able to correct their drainage problems and give them a look similar to the bluestone. We also did a newly constructed patio and sidewalk in the same pattern and color as the porch. The overall thickness of these are approximately 5″ and are reinforced with 1/2″ rebar and structural synthetic fibers.

A new budget friendly, versatile, and long-lasting alternative is precast concrete tile, custom made for your application. Concrete tile can be used just about anywhere, indoors or out, including floors, walls, fireplace surrounds, pools and patios, shower enclosures, countertops, backsplashes, and building façades. In many cases, concrete tile sizes, finishes, and colors can be customized to suit your design needs.” (Courtesy of the ConcreteNetwork.com)
