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

Stamped Concrete With Exposed Aggregate Borders

You probably have heard the expression re and re, this is one of those jobs.

We have taken out the cracked exposed aggregate driveway, formed up, leveled the ground, installed the rebar for extra strength, than poured the borders and exposed them. on the picture below the borders are covered by poly for protection before the next pour.

A week later poured the area for stamping

After letting it cure for a few days, came to cut it than sealed
 it. As you can see it below its all done 3 -4 weeks from now

Stamped Concrete, Changing Climate

After record setting temperatures in February, we are having record setting temperatures in March also.





 You might say so whats the big deal these sort of things happen right. ...yes sure but the freaky thing about it that in February it was all about snow and below zero -5, in March the opposite warmer than average like up to 21 celsius.













 How did the weekly snowfall affected the residential concrete works, simply put, it came to a complete halt. only the scheduled highrise floors were poured with heaters underneath.

 We are back and happy to serve the greater Vancouver area since the nice weather hit the lower mainland in all March visit us at Stamped Concrete Call John for an estimate at: 604 377 3657

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
