NOTE: Keep in mind deductibles do not apply to liability auto insurance coverage, as that pays for damages incurred by another driver when you cause an accident. Rather, it would apply to coverage types that pay your damages, such as collision or comprehensive coverage.
Re: Poured side walk/steps, how long to leave forms? I strip the forms 24 hours later, but am careful not to damage the new concrete. It will still be very soft and with crumble if you put too much force on the edges. Usually concrete will harden withing 30 days to the point where it is considered cured.
How Long Does Stamped Concrete Last? Stamped concrete can mimic the look of stone pavers. Stamped concrete follows the same installation process as traditional concrete. Near the end of the process, a pattern or design is stamped into the concrete and coloring is added before the surface of the concrete dries. The wide range of patterns and colors available in stamped concrete make the finished surface more interesting to look at and allow for more design options. Some stamped concrete is designed to mimic the look of stone pavers at a fraction of the cost of paver installation.
