What to Look For When Hiring a Concrete Company
When choosing to hire a concrete company, here are some things to consider so you get the best contractor for the job...
With these factors in mind, you can feel confident that when you choose a concrete company, they will be reliable, experienced, and will deliver the results you are looking for.
- Experience: Look for two things up front - time in the industry, and their reputation. Experienced companies will likely provide quality work and can usually handle unexpected issues better due to the fact that they've seen many situations over the years.
- Qualifications: Insist on the concrete company being properly licensed, and carrying the proper insurance to work in your area. This will serve as a protection for you should any accidents or damage happen during the project.
- Portfolio: Do they have examples of their previous work? A portfolio of projects they have completed can showcase their abilities and design experience.
- Communication: Will the contractor communicate well with you? Nothing is worse than a company that doesn't listen to your concerns or won't provide updates on the progress of the project because they are not responsive or easy to contact.
- Pricing: Be sure to get several quotes from different companies so you can make sure you are getting a fair price for the work. Be cautious of quotes that are very low or quite a bit lower than all the other quotes. Typically, this is an indication that they cut corners or don't use quality materials on their projects which could come back to haunt you years later as the inferior quality starts to degrade.
- References: Always ask for references. Previous clients can provide you with valuable feedback on working with the contractor you are considering.
With these factors in mind, you can feel confident that when you choose a concrete company, they will be reliable, experienced, and will deliver the results you are looking for.

Is Decorative Concrete Just Stamped Concrete?
Actually, not always. Decorative concrete and stamped concrete are two different methods that add a visual appeal to your concrete project.
Decorative concrete requires the use of special techniques and materials that enhance the overall appearance of the concrete slab, walkway, or patio. To do this we often add color to the concrete mix when it is still in a pourable state. Then, using special finishing methods, we are able to create a textured surface, by adding a decorative touch like an inlay or stencil to the top of the concrete after it is poured.
Decorative concrete can can often be added to existing concrete to beautify an otherwise dull appearance, or it can be a wholly new project of its own, its really up to you.
Stamped concrete, however, is exactly what it sounds like - stamped - while the surface is in a state of curing. We use various patterns and molds to create the unique look your are trying to achieve. Stamped concrete leaves a more attractive, beautiful, and long lasting surface. We often use this method for driveways, patios, and other outdoor surfaces.
So, the basic difference between "decorative" concrete, and "stamped" concrete is one uses a pattern or mold to achieve the desired look, while the other has a color added while the concrete is wet. It should also be noted that color can be added to concrete BEFORE it is stamped thereby giving the concrete a combination of the two methods that is highly desirable.

A Combination of Decorative and Stamped Concrete
The Pleasing Look of Stained Concrete
Stained concrete can be a beautiful thing!. By applying a colored liquid to freshly poured concrete, we can obtain a look that your neighbors will envy. Staining concrete is usually a simple and effective way to beautify the appearance of any concrete surface, and looks amazing on patios, and driveways!
There are two primary types of concrete stains: acid-based and water-based. Acid-based stains react chemically with the concrete to create a permanent, color. Water-based stains work by penetrating the concrete thereby staining it. Water-based stains are usually easier to apply and maintain and they are also safer for the environment and the end user while working with it.
To apply a concrete stain, we thoroughly clean and dry the surface of the concrete. All contaminants are removed, and everything is allowed to dry completely. Then we apply the stain using a brush, roller, or sprayer, and leave it alone to penetrate the concrete for a fixed period of time before we have it wiped off or washed away. Depending on the desired effect, multiple coats may be applied. Finally, the surface is sealed to protect the end result.
Jeffersonville Concrete Pros can do concrete staining for you at a price that come in on budget
How is Concrete Made?
Many people incorrectly call concrete "cement" when these are two totally different materials. Concrete is a combination of cement, water, aggregate - like sand, gravel, or crushed stone. Concrete is made by mixing these elements together. Cement is actually a powder that acts to bind the various materials mentioned above together. It is made by grinding together different materials like limestone, clay, and gypsum. When added, water activates the cement and causes it to harden the concrete mixture, over time. Aggregate is added to the mix to strengthen the concrete.
As the concrete cures, it becomes stronger and more like a rock surface.
The curing process can be accelerated by adding curing compounds to the mix or by keeping the concrete wet and warm while it cures.
By adjusting the ratio of the ingredients or by adding additional materials to the mix, various different forms of concrete can be made. Concrete can be made to be more waterproof or resistant to freeze-thaw cycles by adding different mixtures to the formula. As mentioned above, concrete can be beautified and textured to create a unique yet attractive look by adding pigments and using special finishing techniques.

Getting Concrete to Your Project?
We are often asked how the concrete is delivered to the project. To answer that, below are some ways that a concrete factory gets the concrete to your home:
- Ready-mix trucks: Most concrete factories or companies sell what is known as "ready-mix", which is a mix of cement, water, and aggregate. Once mixed at a plant location, it is delivered to a job site using a specially designed truck that is equipped has a rotating drum. The truck is driven to your home, the concrete discharged directly into a form or mold travelling down a shoot from the rotating drum.
- Concrete pumps: Concrete pumps are devices attached or part of a special concrete truck that uses a hose to transfer a concrete mix to a specific location on a job site. This is usually the option concrete contractors use when the job site is not easily accessible by a ready-mix truck.
- Concrete mixers: Smaller concrete companies often use a concrete mixer to mix the concrete at the job site. The mixer is portable and is used to mix the various components of concrete together close to where the project actually is. The mixed concrete is then transported to project location using a wheelbarrow.
- Pre-cast concrete: Sometimes concrete factories manufacture concrete products, such as blocks, panels, or walls, at a central plant and then transport them to the job site. This type of concrete is made in a controlled atmosphere often using computerized equipment and then cured prior to delivery.
