Hi my concete at my store
Just a query. How do u stop mould growing on a concrete surface. Not how to clean it, as I have a pressure cleaner, but how to prevent it growing in the first instance.
Its a shady area that is the problem.
@@Blue1Sapphire Simplest and cheapest method is 50/50 bleach. Mixed in a wide bucket and use a 12" wide very soft poly brittle broom like a boat deck brush. Dip the brush in the bleach, shake the brush to drop the excess into the bucket and then gently scrub the concrete. Don't get it on anything that you don't want to damage. >>> Like your nice grass lawn! Do this cleaning on a very cloudy day or at sun up before it gets too hot. You can go back and redo a scrub as you need. The first scrub and let sit will assure the mold will die and clean up. The second pass will assure a nice even clean concrete.
Take your garden hose and wash down the concrete thoroughly!!
Once dry, you can use a concrete sealer if you wish!
Have fun, Cheers
@@lisab3396 how about just using straight cement mixed with water and spreading it over the concrete surface. Cement is alkaline I believe and so should prevent mould growing.
@@Blue1Sapphire Wasting your time with that approach! Mold will not be fully removed and will return.
Your big skill is completing the coats with those black trainers still clean lol
Wow I looked at the time frame of this video over an hour and thought I would skip through it. No - I sat and watched the complete video , it was so interesting the the hour flew by and I learned LOTS. Thanks for sharing your skills ....
It's easier and faster to watch if you adjust the playback settings to 1.25x.

Finally! Someone that knows what they are doing! Great Job!!
All of these concrete surface videos and not a single one will ever give you an update why because the concrete resurfacing is crap all of them are crap in a year or two it’s gonna look almost the same sorry if you think this guy knows anything he doesn’t
I am amazed that your shoes are still clean!!! Great Job/Art!!!
As a sufferer of OCD and being a perfectionist, I really appreciate the attention to detail. Great work. Looks great! Thanks for posting.
surprised the client didn't have the entire driveway done. seems like a missed opportunity! nice work.
Very nice job. The reason I try to learn to do this type of work is most of the time I hire a contractor to do work they never have the attention to detail as you demonstrate in this video.
I definitely will repair my old driveway just the same way these gentlemen are doing it. THANK YOU
I'm really impressed how clean his shoes are. Amazing.
Black shoes,black pants, black shirt. Me being from south Louisiana that wouldn’t be a wise choice. A much liter color would have been my choice.
@@billdeville6685 He's in training to join Antifa. The black mask comes out at night. LOL
I saw a botched job during a recent walk, nice to see this is doable if done right.
How To's are subscribed to. Shills are saved individually. That's how most logic driven folks organize.
Fantastic video! Looks brand new. Takes time but end result obviously worth the effort. Thanks for detailed description of steps u took and why!

I remember when I was younger I said it's no brainer.not anymore.hiring this cru it's the smart thing to do
10/10 I watched the full video. Totally captivated me! You guys are real pros! Even the police were amazed. The labour cost here in Africa prices it out of my affordability range, but will never quite understand it. :-(
Makes my back hurt just watching Tim tape.
Finally someone who knows how to pour out of a 5 gallon bucket !
Great to see craftsmen at work!
You guys are awesome professionals. You did a beautiful job! 👏👏👏❤️
Excellent explaining each step as you flow product each steps ×3 total needed -keeping prep concrete wet before applying the next coat--Great easy directions for keeping product always moving flowing forward to completing each section completing
Really impressive work. Intelligent delivery and explanation. Held my interest the whole way. You guys thought of everything. thank you!
Thank you so much! We appreciate your feedback! If you're interested in this product, you can learn more about it here! leggari.com/product/concrete-repair-kit/
Excellent job; you men have your procedure down pat.
Many people hate long tutorials of any kind of work, but for me, The longer the video the more satisfied I get because of the more info's I get along the way.
- They always give you many of great ideas and thoughts of the people who're making the videos.
- amazing video
That squeegee application is mesmerizing. Super satisfying!
This group are chimist by profession the so good at mixing and applying
First off, I wasn’t really searching for a video on this topic, but I am interested if this would be appropriate to address my garage floor before epoxy.
Secondly, this has to be one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on TH-cam (and I watch many videos). You seemed to answer all of my questions as you went, with great attention to detail. Very nice job guys!!!
Possibly, depending on the end goal and desired finish. Please email pictures to customerservice@leggari.com and we can give you an educated answer for your specific situation. There are some garage coatings that may not require much repair at all before installing. Thanks
The best instruction video would have had a demonstration done on driveway with cracks and uneven surfaces.
this is a great video. thanks for the thoroughness and simplicity. I'm not a DYF person but I like to understand what is expected from those I hire. Thanks again.
I love watching confident and efficient tradies
How did you like watching this video?
@@TomBrooklyn It took alot of time. I like it when a boring job can be put on fast forward once the viewer gets the drift. These tradies were superb. Job well done. Very professional.
thanks for sharing your skills.....may God Bless you
You guys are pros. This video was oddly satisfying because of how clean the edges were done and the system. Also great that you showed it’s ok to add a little extra product after scraping off a chunk during the application on the final layer
Thank you!
Awesome video. I wish some of the questions were answered.
wow.. great lesson on this. I've been looking at some cracks in my driveway after power washing.. looks like another project in the works after viewing this.
thank you
beautiful!!!!! next spring 2023 that will be my project
Your shoes are unbelievably clean for doing this kind of work - sign of a pro.
hes got lots of pairs in the back of his truck
TAPE - You may want to try using Gaffer's tape. It sticks really well and does not leave a residue.
2 Office guys doing the jobs
So that's how the professionals do it! ( Was thinking of protecting my concrete porch) Working with your hands outdoors all day must be rewarding for you.
Great job guys
Thank you! Much appreciated
Looks great, I might actually attempt to do my own after watching this great video.
love all the chatter marks left in the far right section even after several coats and a brushed finish.
@@Smokey420Greenleaf Not something they did wrong on the job. Look closer and you'll see those are marks that are actually the concrete itself. Plus, they're using a brush to match the pattern on the slab which originally had a brushed look to it for better grip.
The color will match the rest of the surrounding concrete as it ages and sees vehicle/foot traffic and inevitable dirt lol
One guy said just use Quikcreate but in my experience and if you live in areas like Utah where snow gets everywhere, I have seen people here using Quikrete and they have to repeat themselves all over every summer or two, literally.
I have also seen other people using similar solutions like this and they typically last 10+ years.
I'm sold!
Well done fellas. Very thorough and instructional.
Amazing! Now where do I find someone to do this for me? lol
Great video.. I need this, I checked the price on this.. I think I must do new concrete compared to the price difference.. but as far as a DIY job looks doable.
Good video they where good workman
Hydrating is the easy part....just add water...Excellent video thanks for the time spent showing us how to do it correctly.....
I knew the guy coming out of his house looking over at you guys making a video that he would call the police! 😂
Thankfully we haven't had that happen yet😅 People are usually just interested in what we are doing!
Thanks for the video. We all need to understand that the concrete overlay is the cosmetic part of the process not the structural part. So with any cosmetics the process will wear out and need to be redone. Just like cosmetics for people they wear out over time, weather and other things. So will this process.
would Like to see a long-term video of this stuff in a winter climate, because I feel like the winters in eastern WA might get under it and freeze and crack it.
Also, seems like several day process?
Does this fill cracks and what is cost of a 18'x 20' job for 2 car garage?
Nice work. Next, I'll be looking for a more damaged sidewalk concrete repair video. Breakaways, short of complete replacement and that kind of thing. Very informative video guys. Cheers!
OUTSTANDING
An outstanding demonstration of this type of repair.
Excellent product.
Very professional in every regard.
Well done..

I did the same thing on a many of drive ways and it worked always, however i used bond to existing concrete chemical spray to open the pours of the concrete and “ versa bond tile mortar” don’t mix with water, mix with concrete bonding adhesive only, add a little play sand and spread; the adhesion is amazing, remember to pre-set the ground after through cleaning 🧹 with a concrete bonding adhesive, the same way they apply water in this video.
My way requires speed and know how, cuz the versa bond and adhesives dry fast which is good for strong 💪 curing/bonding to the already set concrete. ( something like the quick bonding in “ easy sand 5 min plaster- which is amazing too for drywall.
All the methods that they used in the video with the exception of the product. Are correct. I just use a different product but the methods are the same, Great job
Even in my mixing of the “versa bond mortar “ I use ( bond to existing concrete adhesive in my mix, 🙅🏾not the same as in this video “ remember” the secret is the (coats )
Do not try to get long term beauty in one coat 🤦🏼♂️ add up to three layers depending on the current condition of the concrete. This is only a “ skim coating “ process. * if you’re concrete project has more then 1/2” of damage. *Do Not attempt this process.
*There’s another process for more than 1/2”damage resurfacing repair.
Lllipopo9o
Great Tip..!!
What is the process for more than 1/2”damage resurfacing repair ?
These guys are extra-ordinarily good at this! Obviously not their first rodeo. The visual and verbal instructions make it look super easy as long as you adhere to the techniques described. Awesome Job!!!
Love their attention to detail. Looks awesome!!! Excellent instruction video.
Thank you! How well a project goes always depends on the details!
Thanks for showing this. I have tried to use packed sand in aluminium square tubing to bend without kinking. Not great success, but this trick you showed is worth remembering. My friend made bows as in bow and arrow. This would have been easier with your method. He just used a torch.
Ummmm - WHAT? This video is about resurfacing concrete.
A tip for using a sprayer; Be sure that the sprayer has a pressure relief valve. Normal valve will open at approx 40 lbs. Take an auto or bicycle tire valve stem, drill a hole to accomodate the valve stem,put the valve stem inside the sprayer and pull through the hole.The hole should be toward the top of the sprayer above the liquid level. Set an air compressor at 30-35 lbs and fill.
I did this to my sprayer a couple of years ago. It's a good tip.
Great advice! Thank you! Also, MUCH cheaper than buying a sprayer that has this feature.
@@LeggariProducts Also, remove the tape before it completely dries. Same concept when painting a car. Either the tape becomes too hard to remove or it will remove some of the material you laid down.
That’s a great idea! I’ve wished I could pump my sprayer with a compressor, but didn’t know how to make a valve that would work (one way). That’s great advice. Thanks.
As someone that's newish to pressure washers and has never seen or heard of a pressure release valve for one... Your description while interesting and detailed enough for anyone that has ever seen a pressure release valve..... I have no idea where on earth you are describing to put one😂.
I like this. I know you guys are pros but I'm thinking that if you have planned where you will finish, it might be a good idea to tape down some overflow paper there outside the last piece of blue tape so you can squeegee extra product across the blue tape onto the paper.
Did a reseal to a smaller section of driveway sidewalk with $10 pail of quickcrete a few years ago. Removed the loose stuff with a broom, hosed it down and mixed material to soupy texture. Used a hand trowel to spread and finished with a seven inch asphalt brush. One coat has lasted three years. A down and dirty option compared to this time consuming effort. It looks fine, not close to the final outcome here but it is just a sidewalk.
Excellent video. This dude is a perfectionist.... explained every step. Nice work.
As someone with over forty years in the concrete business, I cringe every time I see a video of guys working with cement products while wearing shorts. Cement burns are a real thing. Also when pouring dry cement a face mask should be worn to protect against silica dust.
Same here, 43 years finishing, I don't think he knows that he's on city sidewalk, he will if an inspector catches him!
As someone whose worked in concrete for 2 years I can say shorts are fine and if you have a fan to expel the dust theres no problem at all.
I don't think its concrete.
Amen
😂🎉😅😊
Long term, does the finish need resealed? Does it age and turn darker gray like regular concrete? Does is have a glossy epoxy finish?
You guys are extraordinary, very well organized and you do perfect work, each step of your work is well thought. No mess around, you are very professional. Extraordinary work, well done video ❤️
I agree 100 %
We appreciate this greatly! Thank you!
I really need to do this in my garage
I would remove the tape before it completely dries.
I know no one likes talk money and I know every part of country is different, but I think would be great and helpful if you did a video about what you can charge for concrete overlay concrete repair epoxy countertops etc.
@jubjub247 that was a stupid comment.
@jubjub247 and yet you asked the hooker "how much for a ____".
BEAUTIFUL!
You guys did a truly great job showing your product. I know nothing about a skin overlay but am trying to learn. Thank you
Hi there. Thank you so much for the informative video. I was just wondering, the concrete in my garage is chipping similar to the sidewalk shown at the beginning of the video. Would you recommend that I use this method for the concrete inside my garage? or is there a totally different method when it comes to inside concrete? Thanks again.
Is this just plain concrete overlay? Or does it have self leveling epoxy in it as well? Can this be used on a concrete slab that has cracked and is uneven to make a smooth, level surface again?
Thank you for doing your videos!
Здоровья тебе. И долгих лет жизни. Вы лучшие. Спасибо.!!!
Спасибо! Мы очень ценим это.
Вы ЛУЧШИЕ.!!!
The video was great - and very professionally done. You guys did an excellent job overall (narration, material application, thorough description of the tools used at each stage of the process)...and the end-result looks great! Pressure washing, taping at least twice, 3 coats of product, followed by 3 coats of sealer, and the requisite drying times between each coat. Plus, the labor component of at least two (and possibly three) people...in addition to the cost of the materials themselves. I couldn't help but to wonder about a cost-comparison between resurfacing that same area - and the cost of breaking out and replacing the concrete. Have you created a cost-comparison? As for myself, my motivation for carefully watching the entire video, was because the concrete in my 3-car garage (from the garage door...progressing two feet inward) is severely eroded and pock-marked due to road salt and slush that melted and fell from the vehicles (in Michigan). So, I'm evaluating my options to deal with this very pitted surface. How does your product hold-up in northern winter conditions? Will it maintain adhesion, or spall and delaminate? Once, again - great job, and great video!
So true! Huge difference between living in the frozen north and living in points south. Then again I don't have to deal with hurricanes and earthquakes.
Wow!!!! Great details and explanation how to do this job and just wondered….. how is your back pain???
I am already exhausted and tired jut to looking at you. I will like call you to do all this! Thanks for your video. I enjoyed it! Good luck
By the way, that part is the city sidewalk even though it's right in the homeowners driveway. They are not allowed to do anything to it, neither are you without a city bond & notifying the city before any work is performed on it. That may not be true in the city you're in but it stands true in most places, you might want to let your customer know that because most of them don't know that either, big fines! They can paint the driveway with anything their heart desires from the expansion joint on. They could have the approach torn out & replaced if they want after notice is given to the city & it has to be a contractor with a bond on file with the city but they won't let anyone put a bandaid on it, tear out and replace is the only way.
Agreed , thought the same thing ...it's city property
🤔 most likely yes but also every municipality is different sometimes developments are different. This could even be a private gated community.
@@lisat9707possibly
look out Brotha!!.... You Can't be Scared all your Life!
If I was scared all my life I'd have never raced Speedway for one thing, I live my life on the edge even still, only I quit going to jail, speaking of which, the fines they throw at you for doing stuff like that would be worse than jail! They come down hard on violations in construction trades that make traffic citations look like pussy shit, I ain't kidding, it's off the hook these days brother.
One thing I see with trades cleaning concrete or any other surface with a pressure washer is just using the various standard spray nozzles. I use a floor cleaner on the pressure washer. There are many benefits. The main two are, the reduced time which can increase profits and a better cleaned surface after. Then, clean the concrete surface with the nozzle.
Wow. A lot of technique involved.
Turned this video into a drinking game ......took a shot everytime he said hydrate......I died.
This looks like a great job to leave for the pros.
@Michael Collins 🤣😂😂
Awesome job and excellent instructions. I noticed when you were spreading the product you left space for your feet in the middle. If I didn't know better I thought you were a dance instructor! Great Job.
انت فني ممتاز وانا احترمك واتعلم منك الكثير شكرا اخي
How deep of a hole can this fix? My driveway has some large cracks and places where chunks have come out. But some of it would cover fine.
Thank great video, is there any test to see how long the finish lasts?
Yep. They made another video of the same job, one week later. The second video is called, "Time to Recoat".
And that's how I like to clean stuff! Get that proper adhesion preparation !
Nice job done. Thank you.👍👍👍
Which would be cheaper for the property owner? To do what’s in this video, or to pay someone to rip out the old concrete sidewalk and pour a new one?
Any idea how well does it hold up over time? Does extreme heat (100 +) cause degradation? Is this a new product? Does anyone know how it looks after 5 years?
Quick and easy to use with little effort 😉. As a beginner, I wouldn't trust myself to do this. The video is interesting and well produced.
Thank you!
Best looking place on the block, so jealous next door neighbor calls the police to complain lol. Procrastinating of course.
Looks great! Minimal info (coverage, shipping, durability, shipping estimates, examples, etc...) on website though :(
You should have called the contractor that put the concrete in and told him to come back and redo it.
After 50 years I'm sure the contractor might want to get out of that rest home.
Love the details you do
Excelent trabajo,gracias por el video
Do you have any color tints? My sidewalk is a tan color.
I was thinking of using this on my concrete front steps. Can you use it on vertical surfaces as well?
id use quickrete's concrete resurfacer, its a lot cheaper, easier to use, faster and it actually matches standard gray concrete.
Awesome job. Looks great.
This video is good for curing insomnia.😪👍
Wash, Rinse, Repeat.....could have been a 20 minute video at the most.
Holy moly!!! This was a 200 sq ft job and at $17.50 a foot thats $3,500!!! And that's not even including the tape, squeegee, broom and probably $1000 worth of water. By the way, I'm not sure if he mentioned the fact that you have to keep the surface hydrated. Did he?? I'm sure I heard that somewhere... 😜.
Hi Terry, not sure where that number is coming from? Our concrete repair kits are about $1.21-$1.53 per foot; with 100 square foot kit being a little more. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts Sorry, John Pyle (down about 10 comments) posted the cost based on following the link. I just checked the link and indeed he was WAY off on cost. But for a 100 to 250 square foot project it's closer to $3-$4 a foot. The lower price is more around the 2,000 ft mark. Still, all-in-all a whole lot better than ripping out and replacing. Something for next year's budget...😉
@@LeggariProducts Thx. The link didn't give me an idea of the cost.
Never mind, it's there.
$5/sqft minimum in my area on overlays
Leggari Products Looks like you had the problem of recording in public. Thanks for sharing and very detailed job and well done. Keep up the good work.
I couldn’t watch the whole video, I was so hydrated, I had to take a piss.
L🤣L
i kinda like it with the gravel exposed
Love the step by step guide, even if it's minor details.
Looks great stuff I have my concrete drive way power floated and now it’s started top bit of it breaking up. How expensive is it
From what ive seen about 7-12 grand
@@angelrinkson6238 no way. For how many square feet?
@@angelrinkson6238 just checked their website it says 295$ … why would you say that lol
3 days, 2 guys, God knows how much material cost, this seems a long drawn out affair, but I watched it all, and pre hydrated the wife, always keep wet, and don't blow chunks up, 👍
A true pro! Not a drop on the black shoes!
