Dear Jim,
 | | Before |
Do you already have a plain gray concrete patio or porch that's still functional but not very exciting to look at? You don't need to rip it out and start over to upgrade its appearance.

Depending on the condition of the concrete and your budget, the options range from a simple color enhancement by applying a coat of stain to a total makeover by covering the concrete with a decorative stamped overlay.

before-and-after projects. You'll be amazed at the results! Jim Peterson,
