Concrete gains it’s strength through the natural process of hydration, but this process slows notably at 90% Relative Humidity (RH) and stops completely at 80% RH. Usually, concrete slabs, tilt walls, and foundations aren't afforded adequate time for drying in many instances. Specifying the right concrete waterproofing admixture boosts strength, reduces cracks, and extends concrete life by 50%.

When installing a new deck - it’s important to consider which material is best for your project. Composite and Hardwood both have their pros and cons. While it can be more costly than wood, composite materials offer greater durability and less maintenance. However, unlike composite materials, wood can be refinished to remove any blemishes that may occur over time & wood can give the space a more “natural” feel.

If your base isn’t perfectly prepped before concrete work begins, it’s doomed to fail. Skipping or rushing through fine grading is one of the most costly mistakes you can make. We’ve seen it time and time again. Concrete cracking, sinking, or even needing to be re-poured. That’s a nightmare scenario that you don’t need and that should be avoided at all costs. Concrete needs a solid foundation to perform at its best, and that starts with meticulous fine grading. We’re here to make sure the groundwork is flawless so that your structures can withstand the test of time without worry. #grading #construction #bluecollar #solidfoundations
