Concrete Repair May Not Be The Best DIY Project

There are really only two ways to approach concrete repair: the right way and the wrong way. Unfortunately, you usually don’t know if you have done it the wrong way until a little further down the road or sometimes after additional concrete damage has occurred. That is why the first step in any concrete repair is making sure you understand how the damage happened to begin with. A serious inspection and some critical thinking will help you determine whether you are dealing with critical structural issues or minor concrete surface repair. With that knowledge, you are much better equipped to decide whether you can complete a lasting and good-looking repair yourself or fair much better by getting a comprehensive quote from Boise Concrete Pros, one of the best concrete contractors in Boise.

The second, and very important step, in repairing any concrete damage is surface preparation. Whether the job calls for an overlay on a concrete sidewalk or replacing sections of a patio with an aggregate finish, this is one area you are going to want to get right. Industry practice has defined nine different levels of appropriate surface roughness, depending on the nature of the repair. Additionally, all damaged concrete should be removed prior to starting a repair. This can be done using either abrasive, often more appropriate for lighter damage, or impact methods, typically used to remove larger sections of damaged concrete. Because conventional impact methods of removal, such as a sledge- or a jack-hammer, often create additional and often undetectable damage, you are going to want to bring in a professional contractor to make sure it is done right.
​
There are a number of situations where you are most likely going to want to choose to work with one of the best concrete contractors in Boise. Whether the job is concrete surface repair on a pool deck or replacing full-depth damage to a concrete driveway, there are good reasons to choose Boise Concrete Pros to repair your concrete damage. You are going to want to utilize a company that has extensive experience in not just residential and commercial grade concrete construction, but are also very experienced in custom concrete work. Modern concrete installations can incorporate colors, textures, and additional materials to make them truly unique. Whatever situation you find yourself in, Boise Concrete Pros will have the answers you need. So, the next time you see you a crack in your concrete driveway or are ready to create a one-of-a-kind design statement for a back patio or concrete sidewalk, give Boise Concrete Pros a call.
