Enhance Your Curb Appeal

Friday, September 6th, 2024 by Heather Robb

Your driveway, sidewalk, patio, and pool deck form the first impression of your home. When concrete cracks, breaks, or sinks, it impacts not just appearance but also your property's value and safety. Replacing concrete might seem like the go-to solution, but it's a major undertaking with significant downsides.

The Total Replacement Headache

Replacing concrete involves noisy jackhammering, debris removal, and lengthy curing times, leaving those areas unusable for days or weeks. It disrupts your daily life and, if the driveway or sidewalk is affected, can be a major inconvenience.

Crucially, replacement doesn't address the root problem – the unstable soil beneath. Whether it's moisture, drought, or erosion, the same soil issues that caused the original damage are likely to affect the new concrete too.

The Smarter Choice: Concrete Repair and Resurfacing

Modern techniques allow us to repair and renew your concrete without the hassle of replacement. Cantey uses a fast-acting polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize sunken slabs, preventing future problems. Cracks are repaired, and a durable polymer cement coating gives the surface a fresh, new look. Control joints are cut and sealed, and a final sealant protects the entire surface.

This process typically takes just a day, and you can use the concrete again within 48 hours. It's faster, less disruptive, and addresses the underlying soil issues, making it a far more effective long-term solution than total replacement.

Conclusion

If you're looking to enhance your home's curb appeal and ensure the longevity of your concrete surfaces, consider repair and resurfacing instead of replacement. It's a smarter, more efficient way to achieve a beautiful and functional result.
