"I personally watched the men during the entire process. After erecting scaffolding and cutting away and removing the old crown, they built & installed a large and robust wooden frame, mixed 16 ninety lb bags of cement, poured in the concrete and were finished in an astonishing 5 hours! They came back later the next day, removed the wooden framed and scaffolding, and the result was a perfectly cured concrete crown. Awesome job. And the job site and rooftop was left spotless when the men left."

Fast service.  The tearing out of the old driveway and install of the new concrete was done quickly.  We were given lots of choices for the coloring of the stamped area.  Pete was helpful and showed us different patterns that were available and offered suggestions.  We have some other concrete work that needs to be done in our garage and we will be hiring Medenwaldt Concrete for that job as well.

"Chris Huber was the construction manager for finishing our full basement and for major remodeling in the rest of our house. He worked with us for about 4 months throughout all stages of the process, from planning to completion. He was extremely professional and innovative in his management of our project. We are extremely satisfied with the work down on our house (and it was a major project!). Chris listened to our ideas, contacted and worked with all the trades working on our house, and made sure that everything was completed to our liking. He would meet with us several times during this process to go over the work and to make sure that everything was going well. He responded to our requests immediately and did not hesitate to complete some of the tasks himself if needed. We give him our highest recommendation possible. He will ensure that quality work is done on your construction project."

FAQs for concrete finishing, overlays & coloring application projects in Dekalb, IL

With proper care, a stained concrete floor easily lasts 20 years or more. Reapply sealer every two to four years to protect against moisture, scratches, and daily wear. Routine sweeping, occasional damp mopping, and prompt repairs keep the surface looking sharp and protect the slab underneath, preserving both function and resale value.

Stained concrete can crack if the slab is exposed to extreme moisture changes, heavy impacts, or settling. Small hairline cracks are mainly cosmetic, but deeper fractures can affect the finish. Inspect the floor regularly, address moisture issues quickly, and hire a pro for timely repairs. Staying on top of maintenance prevents minor flaws from developing into larger, more costly problems.

The longevity of a concrete stain depends on the product you choose. Acid-based options chemically bond with the slab and are essentially permanent. Water-based stains sit on the surface and can be lightened, darkened, or covered with a new color at a later time. Select the stain type that aligns with your long-term design plans and your willingness to reapply the stain in the future.

You can update the color by cleaning the slab, lightly etching it, and applying a new layer of stain. Re-staining bonds to the concrete and resists peeling far better than paint. For a dramatic shift—such as moving from a dark acid stain to a lighter tone—you may need to grind the surface first. A flooring pro can advise on the best approach for your specific floor.

Stained concrete combines longevity with a modern, custom look. The finish resists heavy foot traffic, moisture, and everyday wear, so upkeep is minimal—routine sweeping and an occasional damp mop are usually enough. Because the color is inside the concrete, it won’t peel or flake like paint. Homebuyers also appreciate its sleek aesthetic and low maintenance, which can add a slight boost to your property's resale value.
