"NJ Select did an amazing job! Vinny was knowledgeable and professional and his crew did amazing work! We had a very large deck that was falling apart and needed to be taken down. The guys did all the demo and removal. We replaced it with a beautiful paver patio with a fire pit and walkway to our daughter's dance studio. They also built a large pergola we purchased for us, that was no easy task. It was a big job and they were pros throughout. We will definitely be using them for projects in the future!"

"Working with DJ from Groundworks (Select Basement) has been an outstanding experience. After struggling with various contractors who either failed to resolve our water issues or were unprofessional, DJ and his team truly stood out. DJ was incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process. Our home is a ranch with 225 linear feet around the perimeter, and while other contractors insisted on installing a French drain for the entire length, DJ recommended a more targeted approach. He proposed installing the French drain for just 80 linear feet, focusing only on the areas where water intrusion was likely. His thorough explanations and prompt responses to all our questions were greatly appreciated. The workers arrived on time, maintained a clean work environment, and completed the job as promised. If we could give 10 stars, we would! Groundworks is a highly professional and honest company that didn't try to inflate the scope of work to charge us more. We wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Mik charged me $1,500 and ultimately replaced only 8 bricks, though there were many more I had wanted replaced (I had said replace "broken bricks" but he argued he hadn't seen them when estimating). He didn't bring the requested mortar and silicone color. He threatened to leave if I didn't like it. No repointing as requested in agreement. He failed to show on the first scheduled workday. The workers failed to protect my floor, and when Mik finally arrived after they dragged the rig through my home, they put paper down on my parquet with duck tape that pulled off the finish. I chose Milestone based on all these glowing reviews. No sir!"

When properly maintained, stained concrete floors can last 20 years or more. For optimal protection, they require sealing every two to four years. Regular sealing helps reinforce the surface against moisture, scratches, and wear. Maintaining a consistent schedule preserves the floor’s appearance and structural integrity, ensuring lasting performance and adding value to your home.
While durable, stained concrete floors can crack under intense humidity or stress, which can affect their uniform appearance. If cracks occur, repairs might not blend perfectly with the original finish. Regular inspections and timely professional repairs can prevent these issues. Consistent maintenance protects the surface, maintains its aesthetic appeal, and upholds the floor’s overall durability.
The permanence of a concrete stain depends on the type of stain used. Water-based stains provide a semi-permanent appearance that allows for future modifications. In contrast, acid-based stains create an irreversible change through a chemical reaction. Your choice should reflect whether you prefer a finish that can be changed later or a consistent, long-lasting look.
Yes, changing the color of a concrete floor is best achieved by staining rather than painting. Staining establishes a strong, durable bond with the surface and resists chipping and fading. Paint doesn't adhere as firmly and deteriorates under regular use. Choosing a stain ensures a vibrant, resilient finish that maintains its appeal and protects the concrete over time.
Stained concrete floors offer exceptional aesthetic and functional benefits. They create a chic, modern look that enhances any interior and can increase your home's value. The durable finish withstands heavy traffic and requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical choice for busy households. This investment in quality flooring also boosts resale appeal and adds significant long-term value to your property.
