Beware of Concrete Contractors with low prices or discounts

  
  
  
  
  
Unhappy Customer

Very low Prices & Discounts = Bad experience & Below standard finished product.

To provide low prices & discounts, the concrete contractor must cut corners on your project. The reason is that they are in this business to make a profit, at whatever the quoted price may be. There is a misconception that contractors need the work so bad that they will work for nothing. The contractors that were willing to do this are out of business now or soon will be and have left behind many unhappy customers.

Avoid using deicers on your concrete within the 1st year.

Deicers shouldn’t be used to completely rid an area of ice or snow, they’re meant to break the bond between ice and the pavement, making shoveling easier. They work best when there is only a thin layer of snow or ice that must be melted.  Deicers are chemical compounds that break up snow and ice by dissolving it through a chemical reaction. Typically, the five chemicals commonly used as deicers are urea or various chloride salts: calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium. For locations where chemical deicers aren't appropriate, sand or cat litter can provide some traction but will not melt snow and ice.
