7 Reasons to Choose Stamped Concrete for Your Kettering Home

Unmatched Versatility in Design

Stamped concrete is capable of many different patterns and colors:

• The appearance of brick, slate, flagstone, and/or wood may be replicated
• A variety of colors is available to match your home’s exterior
• Custom designs may be created specifically for your property
• Your creativity is the limit when it comes to designing your stamped concrete.

Stamped Concrete Durability for Kettering Weather

Kettering weather can be very harsh on outdoor surfaces; however, stamped concrete will endure:

• Stamped concrete is resistant to cracking and shifting as a result of freeze-thaw cycles
• Stamped concrete resists fading of color and loss of pattern due to UV light
• Stamped concrete resists wear and tear as a result of the high volume of foot traffic and outdoor furniture use

Easy Maintenance of Stamped Concrete

In comparison to other decorative paving options, maintenance requirements for stamped concrete are minimal:

• There are no individual stones or bricks to displace or replace
• Cleaning is accomplished with a broom and occasional power washing
• Re-sealing as needed will protect the surface and preserve its appearance.

Affordable Luxury Using Stamped Concrete

You can achieve the look of expensive materials at a fraction of their cost:

• Natural stone or pavers cost more than stamped concrete
• Lower cost to install than natural stone or pavers due to lower labor content
• Increase your home’s value while staying within budget

Integration of Stamped Concrete with Existing Concrete Surfaces

Do you have a pre-existing concrete patio or pool deck? A stamped concrete overlay can update your space:

• Stamped concrete overlays may be applied to existing concrete surfaces that are in good condition
• Existing plain concrete can be converted into a decorative feature
• Save money and time vs. removing the existing concrete surface(s) and replacing them
