FAQ's

Cope Brothers Inc. installs concrete driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and other outdoor concrete surfaces. We also offer decorative finishes, staining, coloring, coatings, and site preparation services to help customers complete their projects with one experienced team.

Stamped concrete uses molds to create patterns that resemble stone, brick, or other materials, while concrete staining changes the surface color and allows the natural variations in the concrete to remain visible. Concrete coatings create a protective surface layer and can be used to improve appearance, texture, and resistance to everyday wear.

Concrete project pricing depends on the size and thickness of the slab, site accessibility, finish selection, required reinforcement, demolition, grading, and drainage needs. Cope Brothers Inc. evaluates the property and project requirements before providing an accurate estimate.

The amount of time before concrete can be used depends on the concrete mixture, weather, slab thickness, and intended use. Concrete continues gaining strength after placement, with 28-day strength commonly used as an industry benchmark, so customers should follow the project-specific instructions provided by our team before walking, driving, or placing heavy objects on the surface.

Cool deck coatings are designed to create a more comfortable walking surface around pools while improving the appearance and texture of the existing deck. The right coating may also help protect the underlying concrete, but the condition of the current pool deck should be evaluated before application.
