"Glenn is the man. Tons of experience and has a great crew of guys. He was the first to reach out and ready to get going right away. We liked the work on the patio so much we hired him to do a white marble driveway install with concrete curbs."
"The Normans were excellent contractors, unfazed by unexpected issues with wire in the old concrete and sudden rain deluges creating damage to the freshly poured concrete. Both issues were handled well, leaving us with a well done project. The contract price was reasonable, especially for the high quality of their work. In addition, they were a pleasure to know. We highly recommend this professional family business."
"The work was done at my house and he did the driveway and a pad in the back yard. The work was outstanding and Mr. Golden explained was he was going to do and also said that he would be back to look at the work area and to let the concrete cure for 5 days before driving on the addition of the driveway and also the concrete pad in the back yard."
"Don Prince Backhoe and Dump truck service did an amazing job with clearing my acre lot and hauling away the debris. They were in and out in an unbelievable amount of time. The service and the knowledge this company provides is priceless. I am looking forward to doing business with this company again and would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"He did a great job. He was on time like he promised and the job was done promptly. I definitely recommend him to anyone needed concrete sealing and painting or pressure washing done. I would give more stars if I could"
"Quick response to request for quote. Did the job within one week of initial contact. Final price was $90.00 less than the original estimate. A pleasant surprise. Work was excellent."
"Hamilton was very professional from the first phone call to schedule the estimate to completing the work. The roof replacement was reasonably priced and completed in a timely manner. The workers did a great job and cleaned up the space in which they worked. I will use again for other services and recommend to others."
Yes, it is advisable to prime a driveway before painting. Primer serves as a preparatory step, promoting better paint adhesion to the surface, enhancing durability, and ensuring a smoother, more even finish. Priming is essential for concrete driveways as they are porous and absorb paint unevenly without proper priming. Skipping this step may result in a less durable and less aesthetically pleasing paint job, requiring more frequent repainting.
Filling small cracks in your driveway with patching material is usually the most affordable fix, costing about $2 to $3 per square foot. For larger damage, however, these repairs won’t last, so it’ll save you more to resurface or replace the driveway, depending on the extent of the issues.
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.
You can hire a landscaper to clean up your asphalt driveway or make minor repairs. You can also hire a company that specializes in asphalt driveway installation and repair. For cleaning jobs, most landscapers charge by the hour. Pressure washing a driveway costs between $100 to $350, but spot treatments and refilling damaged asphalt will cost extra.
Yes, you can pressure wash with just water. The force of the water alone is often enough to remove dirt, grime, and debris from many surfaces. However, for tougher stains like grease, mildew, or algae, adding a detergent or cleaning solution can enhance the cleaning power. Be sure to use the appropriate nozzle and pressure settings for the surface to achieve the best results without causing damage.
