Should I repair or replace my concrete?
It depends on the extent of damage. Minor cracks, small chips, or surface issues can often be repaired cost-effectively. Extensive cracking, sunken sections, or widespread deterioration usually requires replacement. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best solution.
Can you lift sunken concrete instead of replacing it?
Lifting sunken concrete often requires mudjacking/slabjacking. While this may be a cost-effective solution in the short term, its long term effectiveness is limited since it doesn’t address the underlying issue. It can also leave unsightly drill holes in your concrete that most homeowners don’t like. We tend to recommend replacement for sunken concrete instead for a longer term solution.
How long will a concrete repair last?
Quality repairs can last many years, but longevity depends on the underlying cause of damage and ongoing conditions. We'll be honest about whether repair or replacement offers better long-term value.
What causes concrete to crack?
Common causes include ground settlement, tree roots, freeze-thaw cycles, poor initial installation, inadequate base preparation, or lack of control joints. We identify the root cause to prevent future problems.
When can I walk or drive on new concrete?
You can walk on new concrete after 24-48 hours. For driveways, wait at least 7 days before driving on it. Concrete reaches full strength after about 28 days.
Will you clean up after the project?
Yes, we take pride in leaving your property clean. We'll remove all debris, old concrete, and equipment when the job is complete.
What time of year is best for concrete work?
Spring through fall provides ideal conditions, but we work year-round when weather permits. We avoid pouring in freezing temperatures or heavy rain to ensure quality results.
What happens if it rains during my project?
We monitor weather forecasts closely. If rain is expected, we may reschedule the pour. Fresh concrete needs protection from rain during the first 24 hours.
How much will my project cost?
Every project is unique. Costs depend on size, thickness, site conditions, decorative options, and whether excavation or removal is needed. We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for.
How long does concrete last?
Properly installed concrete can last 30-50+ years with appropriate maintenance. Quality installation and site preparation are key to longevity.
Do I need to seal my concrete?
We recommend sealing concrete every 2-3 years to protect against moisture, staining, and freeze-thaw damage. This is especially important for driveways and high-traffic areas.
What can I do to maintain my concrete?
Keep it clean and free of debris
Seal it regularly
Avoid de-icing salts in winter
Address cracks early
Ensure proper drainage away from concrete
Can you work around my sprinkler system?
Yes, though you may need to have it marked before we begin. In some cases, sprinkler lines may need to be temporarily relocated.
What if I have poor drainage?
Proper drainage is critical for concrete longevity. We can grade your site and install drainage solutions as part of your project to prevent water damage.
Can you pour concrete against my house foundation?
Yes, we ensure proper slope away from your home to prevent water issues and take care to protect your foundation during the process.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial concrete projects of all sizes.
