Cost
The cost of stamped concrete depends on the type of stamped you use and how much concrete actually being stamped. More often than not, stamped concrete is going to be more expensive than a regular concrete finish. Stamped concrete requires our concrete contractors to perform a more diligent process. Starting out by handling the concrete when it is poured, then smoothing that concrete out. After it is smoother, we then add a release color on the wet concrete and then proceed with the stamping process. When completed, we then perform the proper cuts within the concrete to prevent cracking. The entire process takes more time due to more steps to get the final results.
