Pouring Concrete During Freezing Temperatures ABOVE, Castle Pines concrete driveway replacement from Denver Concrete Inc When March of 2020 happened, we did not know it, but we were about to begin the busiest season that Denver Concrete Inc has ever known. We are a newer company (although we are not new to concrete with over 50 years of combined experience), so this is our second "busy" season. Regardless, we could have never prepared for the onslaught of business that was about to come our way.  Busy season has definitely not stopped.

Commerce City Stamped Concrete Sidewalk / Patio Resstoration

Image
  ABOVE, Homeowner's stamped concrete walkway is entirely broken with tripping hazards of 1" - 4". In this particular case, our customer was trying to list their home for sale and liquidate as fast as possible. The homeowner's real estate agent strongly recommended repairing the broken and heaving concrete sidewalk. Not only was the sidewalk presenting a liability, but it would definitely provide some hesitation to potential buyers. Most potential homeowners do not want close on a new home only to inherit issues.  We have created a mini-site documenting the entire case, you can visit the site here . There we have created an entire case for this project.  If you have stamped concrete that needs to be replaced, repaired or rejuvenated, make sure to give one of the concrete experts at Denver Concrete Inc a phone call (303) 622-3191. A complete video of the project can be viewed below.
