Advertisement Excerpts with David Goddard
Beautifully stained front porch by Goddard DesignsStain Colors"I found over the years that clients tend to favor warm earth tone colors.There is a stain called cola which looks like Coca Cola® if you are to pour it in a glass and then hold it up to the sun and there are some different mild reds like English red that are pretty popular also." Stamping Concrete"Essentially stamping is a very time intensive technique. And what I mean by that is you have to plan what it is you are doing with the concrete down to the last minute.So you have a small window where you can allow the concrete to get hard enough to where you can sit on it and it is supporting your weight while you're putting the pattern on it." On Slickness"When you put the sealer on your are sealing all of those grooves and tiny holes and pores so depending on how much sealer is applied you can potentially eliminate some of the traction that the concrete inherently has. "Scratching the Surface"You want to take care of your new patio; you don't want to scratch it, just like you wouldn't like to scratch your blue ray disc.When it comes to patio furniture especially, wrought iron, you want to avoid dragging those from out underneath the table. So the responsibility and maintenance goes up when you have freshly stained concrete."
