"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!"

"What we expected to be an 8-week project ballooned into a 16-week project, delayed largely by rainy weather and perhaps some mis-scheduling on the company's end as it juggles multiple projects. Be aware that your project's projected timeframe may very likely be extended; Abedin is in high demand. This was the most frustrating part of the process, having the project at a standstill with a large 3-storey scaffolding out front blocking sunlight and bags of cements and other work items in the courtyard. However, whenever I did call Abedin to find out the status and when work would resume, he was readily accessible and responsive. The craftsmanship is exemplary and it's apparent that the workers are highly skilled and take great pride in their work. I also greatly appreciated that the workers cleaned the site daily after working. This is HUGELY important because the worksite is also my home and not an uninhabited construction site. This meant a great deal to me and Abedin was often on site or sent a supervisor on site to assist and inspect. Abedin is hands-on and has high standards, which keeps the works not only focused and accountable, but motivated. Here's an important tip: where possible, throughout the process, protect your historic fence and railings with a drop cloth because they, like the courtyard's surface, will be battered. Abedin promised to repaint after the work was completed and his guys did, but the repainting job did not match the quality of restoration work we had previously paid for with the ironwork restoration contractor. Despite the setbacks and extended project time, my husband and I are extremely happy with our restoration project and the craftsmanship. Our brownstone looks completely transformed and historic and beautiful! Should we have future brownstone restoration needs, Abedin will definitely be our choice. Thank you."

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.
