Answer: Pricing for stamped concrete is not fixed per square foot as each job has unique requirements. Factors such as material imports, the need to build retaining walls, or the removal of existing surfaces can affect the overall cost. Therefore, a price is only given after evaluating the specifics of the job site.
Answer: Stamped concrete has the same lifespan as regular concrete, which can last 40 to 50 years if properly maintained. Regular upkeep, including sealing, is essential to maximize its longevity.
