    I live in Puerto Rico and many of our houses have concrete roofs. Many were built before epoxy coated rebar was available and built using beach sand so yeah, this is a very common repair we have to do around here. You did an excellent job! I would add to use concrete bonding agent and, you could substitute rust oleum with phosphoric acid of some sort to treat the rust. As you mentioned on the caption, one MUST treat any leaks and seal the roof beforehand otherwise, all that work be soon for nothing. Great video!

      @@michaelk906 Hello, It all depends how bad your damage is. I would get an engineer or contractor define if the roof is repairable. I've seen some roofs that are simply too far gone. I hope that's not your case. Anyhow, the 1st thing I did in my case is control the leaks and the spots where water accumulated. I did a complete stripping of multiple coats of different sealants that were on, level the low spots with self-leveling cement, treated the roof with a good primer and applied 3 heavy coats of Lanco Urethanizer, allowing a few days in between coats. I really like that product and holds up way better than the usual silicon elastometric products. It shold last at least 5 years (with a yearly pressure washing and spot checking). Sealing your roof is essential as it will prevent humidity from making the rust issue worse of course. Once that is taken care of, you can allow your roof to 'dry up' and then you can tackle the exposed rebar as I mentioned on my previous post. 1. chip away loose rust and cement and appy 'Klean Strip Metal and Concrete Prep' (phosphoric acid basically). It will convert the rust into a good base for paint and cement and also prep the surrounding cement 2. use cement bonding agent and apply cement. If the holes are big/deep, do it in various coats, allowing 15-20 minutes to an hour to allow it to harden up between coats. If you do it too thick, the whole patch may fall off. As I said, this is a very common repair here in PR. If your contractor is competent, he should recommend a similar approach. Again, stopping the leaks is 1st priority. Best of luck!

      @@Fred82ndAbn one more question if I may. In old san juan , I have a 3 story small commercial property. There are existing stairs to second floor on back of property- 65 feet towards back. (have to walk thru the existing retail shop).Now i want to make the 2nd floor a residential apartment , so I want to make stairs from the front entrance of building to second floor, as I'm planning on making a residential apartment.

    Hello, thank you for this super helpful how to. I'm renovating a condo with a concrete ceiling. We removed a popcorn coating and now want to seal the concrete to protect it and keep concrete dust from continuing to fall. The ceiling is in good condition, it was cast in place and has "beams" cast into the concrete, so it's not a completely flat surface (meaning we'll need to do some brush work to apply the coating, as we'll be unable to use a spray application.)
    I am wondering if you can suggest a product that is compatible with use on a ceiling and help us reduce brush marks during application?
    Appreciate your time!

    • @willthecat3861
      @willthecat3861 2 года назад

      Cured concrete will not bond with newly added concrete. It will always crack and separate. Sometimes when you pour a couple of inches over old concrete, the weight of the new concrete keeps them together. But, if water manages to get between the layers, it will eventually cause damage (particularly if it can freeze.) Laytex bonding agents (as used in the video), and other types too, provide the interface, between the layers, to bond them together. It is easy to use, and makes a very strong bond.
