“The first impression is the last impression.” Imagine your home is fully beautifully built, decorated, and neat and clean from inside, but when it comes to the outside, the outward simplicity belies the intricate elegance concealed within.
So, this guide delves into thorough professional insights and user-friendly tips that will enable you to make correct decisions about your concrete driveway (Tampa FL), walkways, sidewalks, and curbing.
Installation of all starts with excavating the area and preparing a base with crushed stones and gravel. Forms are used around the perimeter so that the concrete pore stays in place. Once done, they are removed.
If your frontend is suffering from potholes, minor or wider cracks, spalled areas, or unevenness, we can fix it by using several filters, patching, concrete sealers, and more.
Replacing the whole structure is the end solution if it suffers from extreme damage that cannot be reshaped, and it will be cost-effective as well to make your life easier. The steps are the same as installation. Once the concrete pore is cured, the final touches like joint sealing, edge finishing, and cleanup are completed.
Overlays are done to bring shine, color, and texture to your surface. A few types of these include polymer-modified concrete overlays, which are crack-resistant, durable, and flexible. The second one is micro-toppings (¼ inch to ½ inch) made for micro-inconsistencies.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of material to your existing surface. This can be done in various colors, designs, and patterns. Stamped concrete is popular and offers a wide variety, but mostly customers demand materials like asphalt or concrete. This will create a smooth and plain surface.
Our team is also an expert in custom concrete surface preparation. Customization can be done in shapes (curved, circular, custom edging), textures, and other decorative elements. Customer satisfaction is all that matters for us.
