Assessing the Damage... Is it worth fixing?
The effects of storms and destructive forces of nature can be overwhelming to the average homeowner,
but for the concrete professional, it's pretty cut and dried.
When the assessment leans towards replacement... you simply fire up the equipment and excavate to begin new.
To build the proper base and add what you learned from the removal.
Every failed thing has a lesson for the future.
Example of concrete that needed replacing:
Example of concrete that was repaired with polymer overlay and sealed with a semi-transparent sealant:
Repairs can be costly, but when compared to the costs of replacement, well...
the comparisons shift in favor of repair almost immediately, with average costs for repairs running between one-half and two-thirds the cost of replacement.
For cracks, dropped sections and other large scale repairs this is particularly true.
Once repaired the hardscape should be waterproofed after the initial 30 day cure.
This is the structural repair level. This is the basics and that's it.
There is a whole other aspect to the work we do...
the truest test is to repair and restore without leaving the scar.
When your child has a bicycle wreck and the Doctor sutures the wound with the finest stitch...
you will always see that scar because you saw the wound.
Concrete can be restored to it's original appearance or changed completely.
Resurfacing work, polymer overlays and surface sealants can make a dramatic difference in curb appeal while we give your hardscape a new wear surface, waterproofing protection and a whole new look!
Repair work to incorporate the look of real Cobblestone walkways or decorative borders on an existing sidewalk or driveway are possibilities, not problems when you partner your design with a professional.
