| TIPS OF THE TRADE: Concrete Conditions |
The following are some things that we consider when determining whether a project is a good candidate for an overlay. With a 4' level and a little less snow, you can do the inspection yourself.
1. Is the step level side to side?
2. Does the step properly slope away from the house?
3. Are there large cracks anywhere on the surface or sides?
4. Is there any pitting or disintegration due to rock salt or weathering?
Some of these issues can be solved by our highly trained installers, but sometimes the surface is too far gone for an overlay to be a practical option. Give us a call, and we will be happy to come take a look at your project. |
Well, I guess Old Man Winter decided to make his presence very clearly known to us here in New England. Maybe it's the cold and all the snow that keeps me looking forward to all the warm days that the spring and summer will bring us. What projects do you envision yourself doing this year? Is it that new patio with the outdoor kitchen you always dreamed of? Maybe it's replacing that front walk or steps that were so troublesome to you all winter. Give us a call, and let us help you plan your next project.
