Decorative concrete in Belmont
Belmont and the Gaston County side bring a mixture of older in-town housing and newer river-adjacent development. The older properties often have existing concrete that is decades past its service life but has genuine character, and there is a real conversation to be had about whether to replace it or to overlay and restore it — an overlay on a sound but tired slab is frequently the better answer, and it is cheaper. River-side and low-lying properties need more attention to drainage and to the sealer specification, because surfaces that stay damp longer will grow algae and will need resealing more often than the same finish on higher ground.
