However, that can multiply the price of a concrete parking lot by two to three times! Even then thereâs still no guarantee that it wont crack! Really, the reputable contractors in your area will know what the proper thickness the concrete should be for your parking lot. Installing a concrete parking lot to thin is actually a common rip off practice by the fly by night unethical contractors!
Staining Hardwood Floors. Staining hardwood floors is not as simple as just applying it. Some hardwood species receive stains differently, while some with closed grain patterns, with Maple as an example, can be extremely troublesome to achieve desired results.
Unfortunately, the decks/stairs had a solid stain applied 6 years ago, but I don't know if it was oil or water-based. I have applied 3 brands of strippers, which left about 80-90% of the old stain on wood. Then I sanded the upper deck with a plate sander and actually removed about 95%.
