"I have used Hernandez concrete for landscaping and a block wall. They have done amazing work. They are super friendly and professional and do work in a timely manner."
"Due to inclement weather the crews worked extended workdays to complete all work on schedule. They picked up and removed all trash and excess materials daily. The actual work performed was exceptional. I am very pleased with the job and highly recommend this company."
"Roger and his crew of RNH Asphalt installed a jaw-dropping asphalt driveway that includes a roundabout. I m absolutely thrilled with the result and impressed with the incredible speed of the installation and the resulting quality (especially the grade as the property is sloped at different angles!). My neighbors cannot stop talking about it (one called me as he parked his car in front of it on the way to his house!) and another asked for the name of the contractor as they are wanting to repair or replace theirs. The crew worked tirelessly into the evening after completing a prior project in the area and even repaired an unfortunate flat on one of the machines prior to my project (most contractors would have scheduled for a later date). I will definitely use RNH Asphalt for my future projects and highly recommend their services."
"Showed up quickly, sealed the big cracks, and coated the driveway fully. Left a mark on the stucco wall and partly covered the concrete around the gate, so not a perfect job."
Crumbling concrete steps will affect your ability to drill into the material and affix a sturdy railing. If the damage is primarily cosmetic, you might be able to DIY the repair with a patch kit. If the concrete is badly crumbling, hire a professional who specializes in pouring concrete. The average concrete step repair cost is $500 from a professional, but the extent of the damage will determine your actual cost. The professional may recommend a replacement if the damage is extensive.
While a contractor is on-site repairing your concrete steps, you can have them inspect other concrete surfaces for minor damage. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor during the same visit. You can also ask them to check your home's foundation for minor issues they can address. However, general concrete repair experts typically cannot handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation. For major structural projects, you will need to hire a structural engineer.
Yes, slab foundations can sink just like any other foundation type. Floating slabs are the most prone to differential settlement and foundation sinking because they sit directly on the surface of the earth. Slab foundations that have footings—including slab-on-grade foundations and monolithic slab foundations—get additional support from soil further down and are less likely to sink over time, especially under larger, heavier structures.
If your building department catches you or a contractor doing foundation work without proper permits, they will likely put the work on hold until you secure the necessary permits, which can cause delays of days or even weeks. You can also face violation charges for construction without a permit, which can cost hundreds, depending on where you live.
You can patch minor cracks and damage yourself using concrete fillers or mortar. Larger damage may require full replacement of affected slabs. However, water damage to your concrete will never disappear unless you address the root cause causing the water to cumulate. To prevent future damage, you can also waterproof your concrete.
