Maryland Curbscape has experts with a combined knowledge of 40+ years in the industry. Don’t just trust anyone with your concrete work, trust a tried and true local family company that knows how to get the job done right, on time and at the right price! Local, full service concrete contractor specializing in both custom stamped & standard concrete. New construction, additions, repairs, and replacements.
"I called several companies to get pricing on a 24x18 concrete patio, and Paul was the first one to call me back and the first one to come out to do a site visit. He was courteous and professional during the entire process, and never attempted to pressure me into upgrading or getting something I didn't need. When it came time to schedule the pour, Paul was able to fit us in very quickly, and even when there was a delay due to his concrete supplier being backlogged because of a rain delay, it only resulted in a one-day delay, and Paul was upfront and in touch the entire time. On the day of the pour, Juan Carlos and his team were scheduled to show up at 7:00am, but showed up about 20 minutes early, which is better than 20 minutes late! He and his team quickly got to work prepping the area, and by 12:00 they had completely finished the project, cleaned up the area, and had left house/yard/driveway in the same shape as before the arrived. The only difference was the beautiful new patio! Probably the best part for me was the personal visit from Paul afterwards to inspect the work. Based on my experience, I would whole-heartedly recommend Paul and his team from Maryland Curbscape to anyone looking to get concrete work done. I waited a while to write this review, because I wanted my father-in-law to take a look at the patio. He did masonry and concrete for about 40 years, and once he gave his seal of approval, I knew I had let Paul and his team know how thankful my family and I are that we have a new space for anything we can think of."

The installation process for a concrete basement floor spans several days to weeks, depending on project scope. Preparation work includes removing existing flooring, creating proper drainage, and establishing a suitable base. The concrete itself requires adequate curing time before finishing treatments can be applied. Weather conditions, basement accessibility, and chosen finish types all influence the overall timeline.
Concrete slabs are constructed at ground level as part of a foundation system, while basement floors are installed below grade within an existing foundation structure. Basement installations often require additional moisture control measures due to their subterranean environment. Both utilize similar materials, but basement floors frequently need specialized preparation to address ground moisture issues and integration with existing foundation walls.
While some preparatory aspects might be manageable for experienced DIYers, concrete basement floor installation requires professional expertise. The process involves precise measurements, proper reinforcement placement, and skilled finishing techniques. Errors in mixing, pouring, or curing can lead to significant structural problems. Most homeowners find that professional installation, though more expensive initially, provides better long-term value and performance.
Proper maintenance includes regular sweeping and occasional mopping with appropriate cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage sealants or concrete surfaces. Address spills promptly to prevent staining. Inspect periodically for cracks or signs of moisture problems. Reapply sealants according to product specifications to maintain moisture resistance. Controlling basement humidity helps preserve the floor's condition over time.
A properly installed concrete basement floor can improve moisture management when incorporated with appropriate waterproofing measures. Vapor barriers, drainage systems, and quality sealants all contribute to moisture control. However, concrete alone cannot resolve serious foundation water issues or hydrostatic pressure problems. Comprehensive waterproofing approaches that address exterior drainage, foundation walls, and interior systems provide the best results for persistent moisture concerns.
