Concrete stamping looks the same as stamped overlay, right? Not quite. Both options offer stamped concrete patterns. The traditional stamped concrete Fort Wayne describes the patterns being stamped onto a new slab. However, overlay refers to the stamping of the patterns on a brand-new overlay that sits on top a functional slab. Between them, overlays are less expensive. In cases where driveways, pool decks or patios have been severely damaged, traditional stamped cement is recommended. When the slab has been so severely damaged that it is impossible to repair, the concrete must be replaced with new concrete and stamped. Fort Wayne has many surfaces that need to be resurfaced.
