"All the original concrete on the front patio and steps had been patched many times over the years and was now beyond the point of repair. To add complexity to the project, there was a storage room built below the front patio that used the patio concrete as its ceiling. We called several of the top concrete companies to receive bids. Four of the companies that came to do bids either refused the job on site or just never responded with a bid after our meeting. Our project was not simple, by any means, and there were quite a few logistical issues involved with the original design of the patio. Three other companies (including Pietigs Plus) provided bids, and all were competitively priced.
I decided to go with Pietigs Plus for a few reasons. First, Jeff Pietig spent quite a bit of time at the house investigating things prior to preparing a plan for the project. There were a lot of unknowns going into the demolition phase, and I felt more confident in how much time and attention he put into proper measurements and tests prior to determining his bid. Additionally, it was always easy to reach Jeff with questions, and he was enthusiastic about doing the work for us, which is something I didn't get from any of the other contractors.
After contracting Pietigs Plus to do the job, Jeff was great about working within our timeframe. We had quite a few other projects happening at the house around the same time, and we had to coordinate a tight schedule for his work, since the front entrance would be unusable until he was completed. Jeff and his crew were able to meet the timeframe perfectly, and they put in extra work over a weekend to finish on time, even with a few of the project's mysteries providing surprises along the way. They poured new concrete walls and the stoop for the patio, and they did an excellent job installing the patterned bluestone pavers and veneer stone around the patio. The quality of the work is quite impressive, and Jeff showed a lot of concern along the way to make sure we were completely happy with the results!
I would highly recommend Jeff and Pietigs Plus to anyone! They were great to work with and provided us with a beautiful new front patio! Our project attracted a lot of attention in the neighborhood, and I have had dozens of neighbors ask for his information. It really looks great, and we are incredibly happy with our decision to go with Pietigs Plus!

"We could not be happier with the outcome of this project! Keenan and his team saved us from a DIY project that we bit off more than we could chew. He came out and gave us a quote less than 24 hours after reaching out to him and was able to get started on the project the following weekend. He was willing to work with the materials we had already purchased saving us the headache of returning everything. When we ran into issues with our pavers he took it upon himself to remedy the issue with the home improvement store the materials were purchased through. Again, going above and beyond what was agreed upon. He was upfront with cost changes as the project progressed and was cognizant on where he could save us money. We would, with not doubt, hire Keenan again."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

It’s usually not a big deal if your foundation sinks between 2 and 3 inches into the ground after construction, provided the settlement occurs evenly. This is usually indicative of normal settlement that occurs as the soil under your home adapts to the weight of the structure. If the home sinks more into the ground or the settlement occurs unevenly, leaving portions of your home to sink further down than others, then call a foundation repair specialist to address the issue and avoid additional damage.

Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.

Cement companies offer a wide variety of services, including delivering and pouring concrete for home foundations, walkways, patios, driveways, concrete steps, pools, pool decks, and more, plus concrete repair and patching. Most companies also have the ability to demolish and haul away old concrete landscaping features. It’s a good idea to reach out to a few different companies before hiring to make sure you choose one that can tackle the entirety of the project you have from start to finish. This method will typically save you some money over hiring multiple contractors.

You'll find a slurry of natural and synthetic polymers, rubbers, epoxies, and resins used to bond old concrete to new concrete. The right bonding agent depends on the method of concrete pouring you choose and whether you're adhering concrete over concrete or concrete over sand and gravel. Some concrete resurfacing mixtures contain bonding chemicals as well.

No, hairline cracks in concrete are generally not a problem as they do not impact the strength and longevity of the concrete. Generally, cracks less than 0.3 millimeter wide don’t impact the structure. Hairline cracks can grow over time and weaken the structure, such as in a home foundation. Some hairline cracks can also cause leaks in a foundation. It’s important to watch the cracks to see if they grow. Contact a concrete contractor if you notice cracks exceeding 0.3 millimeter wide.
