Walks and floors for older homes
A new walk has to sit well with old brick and stone. Exposed aggregate, a tooled border or a broom finish with neat edges will usually look better than plain gray. See exposed aggregate concrete.
Inside, basement floors near the river are worth a moisture check first. Tape a square of plastic to the floor for a day or two. If the concrete below goes dark, moisture is coming through, and that affects the sealer or coating you can use. See basement floors.
Older detached garages along rear lanes often have tired floors and walls that bear on the slab edge. Replacing one is careful work, but it can give an old building decades more use. If your home sits above the village, expect steeper access and a longer pump run. Where public sidewalks are involved, ask the borough first, since it may have rules on materials and on how work is carried out.

Concrete questions from Sewickley
Can a concrete company match an exposed aggregate walk in Sewickley?
We can pour exposed aggregate for about $11 to $18 per square foot. An exact match to an old walk is hard, so we show you samples first.
How to test a basement floor for moisture in Sewickley?
Tape an 18 inch square of plastic tightly to the floor and leave it at least 16 hours; water under the sheet means moisture is coming up through the slab. A dry result is not proof the slab is dry deeper down, so near the river, test again after a wet spell.
Why is my concrete dark grey?
Often moisture in the slab, which is common near the river. Damp patches fade as the concrete dries.
Is a broom finish right for a front walk in Sewickley?
It is the standard grippy finish: after floating, a push broom is drawn across the wet surface to leave fine ridges. With neat tooled edges it sits quietly next to the village's old brick and stone walks, and it costs less than exposed aggregate.
