Stamped concrete, decorative concrete or colored concrete should be resealed every 2-3 years to protect the investment that you have made in your home. Cleaning and sealing of the concrete can bring back the beauty of your concrete because concrete resealing protects the surface from being stained by oil, dirt and harmful ultra-violet rays. Oil, dirt and harmful ultra-violet rays can fade the color of your concrete. The concrete resealing process will make your concrete look like new and the restore its beauty is very affordable.

How Concrete Resealing Helps

We seal concrete in order to extend its life and to keep it looking good for years to come. Concrete is a surface that will deteriorate quickly if not properly maintained. Over time, moisture penetrates the concrete, causing it to crack or chip. Concrete sealing will reduce and prevent cracking. Concrete sealing increases its longevity and improves it’s appearance and curb appeal.

Few things can compare to freshly sealed concrete. Our customers love the shiny surface left behind after the team at E & J completes the concrete restoration process.

Reasons for Concrete Resealing

There are many reasons why you should consider concrete resealing. The top reasons are:

• Concrete resealing reduces cracking and pitting caused by water absorption
• Stains can be caused by water or other organic matter
• Oil, gas and other spills can cause staining as well
• Reduce discoloration caused by exposure to the elements
• Mold, mildew and algae can grow on the surface, concrete resealing eliminates that
• Extend the life of the surface

First, we listen to your desires for the ideal space. Then we begin the design process and, using cutting edge technology, visualize your ideas in stunning detail and clarity.

Be the envy of your neighbors, and add beauty and texture to your lawn at the same time.  Whether itʼs an outdoor kitchen, patio, driveway or pool deck, patio pavers are perfect.

What are Patio Pavers?

Patio Pavers are a versatile landscaping material that can be used for laying paths, steps, driveways, pool surrounds, and patios around your yard. Patio Pavers have been used for thousands of years to improve comfort when walking outside of homes and for creating places in which friends and family can gather.

Patio Pavers are typically made from concrete, clay, and stone. They can also be made from recycled materials (in which case they are known as composite pavers).  Concrete patio pavers can be dyed to almost any color. In addition to looking like concrete, they can be molded to look like clay bricks, cobblestone, flagstone—you name it. The shapes are usually rectangular, but other shapes, including hexagons, interlocking, and irregular shapes are available. A nice feature with many patio pavers is the molded-in spacers that make laying them easier.

Patio Pavers can be laid in any number of patterns and layouts, including rectangular and curved. Brick and brick-shaped concrete patio pavers can be arranged to create many patterns, including herringbone, basket weave, running bond, and stacked bond. In recent years, concrete patio paver combinations of varying sizes, colors, and textures have been used to create more complex patterns. Whether you are looking to create a walkway, patio or pool surround, today’s patio pavers offer unlimited design options for any hardscape plan.

E & J Concrete offers Patio Paver Installation Service in the entire Wichita, Kansas area! Though we are based in Wichita, we serve the whole Wichita and surrounding area, including Hutchinson, Derby, Mulvane, Augusta and Andover.

Firepits

There is nothing more enjoyable than spending an evening outdoors by the fireplace.
For years, the fireplace has been the heart of the home. Taking this concept outside, you will be hard pressed to match the enjoyment of an outdoor fireplace with a glass of wine or toasty S’mores. Outdoor fireplaces make it possible for your family to spend evenings taking in the desert climate all year long. Let the dancing flames of the fire add serenity to your evening.

Outdoor Kitchens

An outdoor kitchen can help you slow down and spend more time with family and friends by putting all the ingredients for outdoor dining close at hand. It can be as simple as a BBQ and a storage cabinet or as ambitious as a full kitchen with grill, refrigerator, sink and eating area.

Retaining Walls

A retaining wall is built for structure. Its primary function is to support soil behind it or any loads or weight from above. We can install retaining walls out of concrete block or dry stacked block. Retaining walls are a great addition to backyards. They make great places to sit, and wonderful planters. Once the function of the wall is defined we can turn our attention to the aesthetics. Whether it is stucco to match your home, faux stone, flagstone caps, tile or natural rock veneers we can deliver on it all.

Concrete is also cost-effective over alternative materials such as pavers, or natural stone. Installation is quicker and the final product is long- lasting, can mimic natural materials in color and design, and is therefore, more economical.

Here are the main ways stamped concrete offers real benefits in terms of performance, cost savings, and aesthetics.

Reduced long-term maintenance and care.
Over time, other surface materials such as pavers can become loose or settle, resulting in tripping hazards. Stamped concrete’s advantage is that it never needs resetting or replacing. It eliminates tripping hazards for parks, resorts, etc.

Less labor intensive than other surface materials.
Some installers find it more economical to pour concrete and apply a pattern than to haul and place individual paving stones by hand.

Increased longevity.
Your initial investment in stamped concrete is only part of the total equation. Concrete lasts longer than other materials, is durable in nearly every type of environment, and holds up better to traffic and wear.

Requires less maintenance.
Stamped concrete requires minimal maintenance than most other paving materials which can add up to big savings over the surface’s lifetime.

Increases resale value of property.
Stamped concrete adds instant curb appeal and aesthetic value to a property. You can maximize the return on your investment by choosing stamped concrete.
