Ron's range of experience in the waterproofing industry spans almost three decades. A Dayton resident since 1991, the Cleveland native began his foray into waterproofing and concrete in 1996. As a laborer, Ron quickly learned the ins and outs of the waterproofing business, including new construction waterproofing systems and concrete structural repair options available to stabilize home foundations. Ron expanded his knowledge to commercial high-rise buildings, eventually overseeing large crews building hotels in Columbus and other major cities throughout the tri-state area. Ron "hits on all cylinders." Not only does he know everything about the waterproofing and concrete processes, but he also understands each facet of running a business. From laborer to production manager to VP of operations, Ron has done it all. He is also personable and reliable, traits highly valued by his customers. Ron's consummate professionalism has earned the trust of many local REALTORS, engineers, homeowners, and property management companies. Ron and Jennifer, his wife of 26 years, have strong roots in the community. Three of their four grown sons live in Miamisburg. The couple enjoys spending quality time with their granddaughter and four grandsons. When Ron can be pulled away from work (his first love), he can often be found camping or fishing on summer weekends. He's also an avid league bowler. He is quick to point out, however, that he is always available to answer a call about a leaky basement!
"We had concrete sidewalk replaced and a new concrete pad added. The work is great and we are very pleased. We would recommend them."

We specialize in everything concrete. Need that drive way fixed or extended? Sidewalk crumbling? Does the Mrs. want a beautiful stamped patio to entertain guest in the backyard? We have over 30 years experience in the industry and we are fully insured. Call us to schedule your free estimate.
"I’m only giving a one star review because they were able to get us on the schedule quickly. Everett seemed very friendly and honest when he came out to give us a quote to widen our driveway and extend our extension patio so we decided to hire Hastings and Sons. Now with HUGE regret. This is a slimy business. Partial payment was due at the beginning of the job and the remaining was due at the completion of the job. We went ahead and paid the remaining payment without the job being FULLY completed (ignorant on my part) the only thing left to do was saw cut and clean up, we were told someone would back the following morning, here we are 4 days later and no one has showed up to complete the job. Everette and someone named Tim who wasn’t even on the job and told me two jobs were mixed up told me it would be taken care of (yesterday). If concrete is left too long without the control joints being cut it will crack, we are past 96 hours with no saw cuts! Not to mention I told the project manager I wanted our patio to be rounded and it was not, he did a walk through the morning of pouring and talked about the square footage but nothing was staked out so I didn’t even think to bring it up again since I already told him and showed him a picture of what I wanted, he said I should have mentioned that during the walk through. This part I was okay with getting over until it turned into a bigger problem. They left my front yard a mess, there is concrete smeared on our existing patio, concrete on the siding of our house, basement windows, the quality of their work is bad. Sloppy, the extension of the driveway isn’t even. If I could do it all over again I would have hire the contractor who’s price was significantly higher. I would not recommend Hastings and Sons to anyone and will never use them again for future projects. Do yourself a favor and don’t go for the cheapest quote, I know better and still did it. I should have been more thorough when researching the company, their reviews are loads of complaints and they are not on the BBB that’s usually a red flag. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for! Good thing is I was able to stop payment on the second check. They’ll get paid when they actually FINISH the job."

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.
