What Services Do Concrete Companies Offer?
Concrete Pouring
Concrete companies can pour several kinds of structures, such as new patios and driveways. First, the company selects a durable concrete mix suited to Blytheville's humidity and temperature. Then, contractors will pour the concrete so that it sets evenly, and use techniques such as vibration to ensure uniformity.
Concrete Cleaning
Professional cleaning improves both the look and longevity of concrete. Your contractor will use a mixture of cleaning solutions, scrubbing, and pressure washing to eliminate contaminants, stains, dirt, and grime.
Concrete Sealing
A concrete sealant adds a protective barrier on concrete that prevents water and sunlight from penetrating the concrete. Sealing improves your concrete's appearance and lifespan, saving you money on replacement costs. An expert will apply the sealant evenly and make sure it attaches properly.
Concrete Reinforcement
A professional can insert steel bars or meshes into concrete to help reinforce it. This reduces damage and deformation, and helps your concrete handle heavy loads better.
Concrete Repair
Concrete can degrade over time from weather damage, poor installation, or normal wear and tear. A concrete company can assess and repair spalling, cracking, or eroding on concrete driveways, walkways, and more. Contractors repair damage using techniques such as rebar replacement, patching, resurfacing, and epoxy injections.
