My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thanks for the question!!

    The front of this home originally had a rather "blah" Stamped Concrete Walkway and stained Courtyard. (See Photo) We installed an Enhanced Concrete overlay to cover all the concrete.

    It is a thin coating that is applied then the slate texture is added followed by grooving the joints by hand in any size or shape. It is then stained, sometimes in multiple colors to compliment the home/hardscape. This process can be installed over new concrete or older existing concrete.

    We spec. this product many times especially when existing concrete is in good shape just not the right look.

    There are many examples of this on here on our Houzz page as well as our website.

    We have found with good installers... minimal maintenance but re-sealing every 2-4 years it holds up very very well.
