3 Ways a Concrete Contractor Can Help You

by Kristopher Samuels Writer

Many concrete contractors are likely working in your neighbourhood because of the popularity of the material. Concrete is a favourite of homeowners because it’s strong, durable, and resistant to the elements like fire and rain. It’s also cost-effective to acquire, easily available, and simple to work with.


Compare this to limestone, glass, stone, brick, rock, and other flashier materials. While they may look nicer, they aren’t as durable or inexpensive.


If you need help with a concrete project, then reach out to reputable concrete specialists that can perform many tasks and stand by their work. You should hire companies like Elite Concrete – that have served their neighbourhoods for over 19 years and have won numerous accolades for their innovative and timeless products and services to residential and commercial customers. Here are a few ways such a concrete contractor can help you:


#1 Pouring

Whether you need a driveway, patio, steps, walls, planters and features, you can turn to a contractor to build these items for you. Take the time to partner with a good concrete contractor that has the skills, training, license, certifications and insurance to complete the task. Made by a less experienced contractor, your project may not turn out as you expected. It could have structural issues or look unsightly.


#2 Architectural Finishes

Concrete home renovation projects no longer look plain and grey. Modern concrete finishes look as good as fancier products but are more cost-effective, durable, and almost maintenance-free. For example, the Limestone Finish™ offers the smooth and contemporary look of authentic limestone. It’s made with the process of mixing and finishing concrete. Likewise, Stamped Concrete replicates the classic style of flagstone, slate, or natural stone at a much lower cost. Both finishes suit the styles of multiple homes.


Surprisingly, a project with an architectural finish is completed faster than you think in the hands of the right team of contractors. The biggest challenge can be the weather. But if the climate remains consistently good, a regular-sized architectural concrete project can be completed in as many as three weeks.


#3 Concrete Repair

Concrete structures at home can certainly last a long time. For example, mixed and poured correctly with the right foundation, a concrete driveway can last for over 30 years. Of course, such driveways must be maintained and repaired regularly, especially in towns that experience freezing weather.


Concrete driveways are susceptible to damage in the winter because the changing temperatures can cause concrete slabs to contract and expand, affecting their integrity and allowing water to seep through. If enough water leaks into the foundation, it can cause structural damage. This can cause the driveway to sink and harm your vehicles and pedestrians.


Your driveway should be regularly maintained by a contractor. They can apply a sealant, which will shield it from rain, vehicle fluids, and more. Moreover, they can also repair cracks before they grow wider and result in more damage. Remember, cracks can quickly develop into dangerous potholes.


These are a few ways a concrete contractor can help you. Get in touch with a reputable and reliable contractor today for help with your home renovation project.
