NE Portland Oregon Concrete Stain on Patios and Entance Steps

This project is about a typical problem cured for a fraction of replacement cost. The solution is a concrete stain patio and entrance stairs.

First, the entrance stairs were badly cracked. Denis Wryn, owner of C4 Coatings of Portland Oregon had to cut grooves across the cracks then  inlay rebar and secur with epoxy. This step prevented the concrete from futher separation.

Then the steps were resurfaced with a stampable overlay in a stone pattern. Similar process was applied to the rear patio. Colorant was achieved with concrete stain and sealed. Nice project. Quick, inexpensive relative to replacement and a time saver. Vist C4 Coatings website or contact Denis Wryn about this project.
