Busy summer for the concrete crew

Every time summer comes around we get so busy that it's hard keeping up with the "paper work", well in our case it is actually the blogging, vlogging, social media.

 ... But do our best to take pictures of our work so when the opportunity's here get right back in the groove as you can see. So the days, weeks, months go by fast while we concrete contractors keeping busy placing, finishing a large variety of concrete works.
Sidewalks, patios, driveways, stairs, walls, house floors, foundations,crawl spaces, agilia super flat topping floors, so on. Each also can have different finish like:

The elegant stamped concrete which in itself has a large variety of surface finishes and colors.

Exposed aggregate once popular still looks great combined with the recent favorite smooth surface.

For sidewalks patios driveways the good old broom finish still loved in the residential neighborhood.

 Sure it's easy cleaning it up but gets slippery in the rain and especially in winter the impressive smoke color smooth troweled finish

Broom Finished Sidewalks, Patios, Stairs, Driveways vs Smooth

Lets face it, you've been asking for nice smooth finished patios stairs, sidewalks and driveways for the last couple of years.... Now be honest and tell me how many close calls you've had last winter because subzero temperatures and extremely slippery conditions on the surface of your concrete you like so much. Now think of having the same concrete but with some traction for a rainy,or winter day, like these beautifully broom finished surfaces.

You can still clean it, wash it clean and will look fine, and most of all will be safe to use it. so be smart and get a grip. for all our concrete products, more information visit: Stamped Concrete call for an estimate: 604 377 3657

Vancouver Contractors: Concrete

There are large number of contractors in Vancouver BC.
For the last 20 years this city has gone through a
real face lift.
The number of new buildings are literary in the thousands.
Vancouver is one of the worlds most beautiful cities, and
the richest province in Canada. No wonder that Canadians
want to move here.

Because of all this Stamped concrete contractors are keeping very
busy for the last two decades, and we are not complaining.

As Tradesmen we are happy to have such abundance of
work going around giving us the feeling of long term job
security.

As a concrete contractor I have noticed a degree of slowing
since the global economy’s slump, and I can positively say
that it has an effect on consumer confidence....but on the
other hand it also created opportunities for the "bargain hunter"
who now is being able to find great deals when it comes to
finding contractors and competitive prizes.

I have applied for a job to five of the than biggest concrete companies, to the suggestion of the late Patrick ST Denis, a Christian brother, who was also a cement finisher.
None of them bothered to reply, so I took the initiative, and went to see Mr Fred Roselli,the owner of Roselli Concrete.
When he first looked at me I new what he was thinking of. I was looking beat, having long hair, and a beard, and of top of all I was very skinny too.

...So before he could turn me down I assured him that I was in deed a very hardworking individual in spite what he saw, and it would be a good decision of him to hire me,
so he put me to work right away, ...and I have never held back ever since!
