"I hired Patios Plus to pour a patio in my backyard. I am very happy with how it turned out. The team was professional, efficient, and paid attention to detail throughout the entire process. These guys take pride in their work. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have concrete job completed."
"They did great. The entire surface was level and free from tripping hazards. It is important to have them seal the cracks because there will be water from snow melt and the concrete will move. This will get you the 5 yr warrantee just in case."
"The process felt very easy. SJ asphalt took care of everything, including things I didnâ t even think to ask for. Like putting a slight slope on my driveway so that water would shed away from my house."
"The owner, Thomas Burke, was great to work with in all respects. To start with he specified concrete that was stronger than what I wanted and this really pleased me. It told me he was willing to go above and beyond my requirements or minimums. He started with grading and removing dirt so he could build a retaining wall to hold back the grade for a new driveway. The guy he sent out worked very hard and did a near perfect job on the new wall. Like any construction project there were a few unknowns but he worked around these problems. Then he poured the new garage addition slab and finished it for me. Unfortunately it started to rain just before the final finish hardened so they had to redo some areas. Didn't come out quite as good after the rain but very acceptable. Then they immediately poured the driveway slab. No new showers so this came out perfectly. The concrete company sent out the second truck too soon so there was not enough time between pours to really get set. I think this second pour therefore did not quite get the grade Tom wanted. The driveway slab was pitched to drain water to match an adjacent existing slab and this did not quite work out. I have a small area on the new drive slab that holds water after a rain. It was a tough job to slope it right and it is within a quarter inch of draining. Like I said they were still grading the driveway when the truck showed up and I really think this cause the slight glitch. I have some more work to do next summer and am really looking forward to having Tom back knowing I will get a good price, a good job, and quick service done right. I would highly recommend ACT Contracting to anyone. "

You should wait until your pavers have completely dried and cured before pressure washing them. Wait at least three to five days, though some sealants may need up to an entire week. Rushing that timeline can mess with the finish, weaken the seal, or leave streaks that are tough to fix. Once the sealant has fully set, stick to a gentle approach. Keep the pressure under 1,500 PSI and hold the nozzle at least two feet from the surface. Anything stronger or closer can blast the joint sand loose or wear down the sealant you just applied.
Combining power and soft washing is a great way to ensure that all surfaces, both fragile and not, get the attention they deserve. Start by power or pressure washing durable materials like vinyl siding and concrete pavement or driveways, then switch the tips on your machine and finish up by soft washing the more delicate elements, like shutters and front doors, for example.
No. In spite of its identical chemical makeup, sodium bicarbonate manufactured for blasting purposes has a particular type and size of particles that differs from grocery store baking soda. In addition, this method would not be cost effective because you would need several boxes of baking soda to equal one blast-sized bag of medium.
The best cleaning solution for stamped concrete is a combination of water and mild soap. Dish soap and laundry detergent are good options. For more stubborn stains, you can use an alkaline cleaner that removes oil and grease. In either case, you’ll want to steer clear of abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals which can damage the concrete.
