What distinguishes the concrete pros from the amateurs?

Why are we trusted with high-end concrete pouring jobs?

While almost any handyman can mix a little quickrete to set posts for a backyard fence, there is a big difference in the team hired for professional jobs that require large pours. Concrete sets hard and fast, & no one wants to break it up and do it again because of a mistake. 

Serving your essential project needs is not a mission we take lightly. We know a messed-up concrete pour can make for an unsafe structure, failed inspection, and uninsurable conditions. None of these are welcome for successful builds. That's why we serve at such a high standard. Concrete professionals know how to get the job done right the first time.
If we see that a form is not suitable for pouring, we will notify the builder and work with them to figure out the best solution for everyone. 

A concrete company you want to work with should have a track record of great work. A concrete organization doing crappy work won't last long in the commercial building business. If big-budget builds consistently use our services than you can trust that we will serve you great too. 

Messing up concrete is a big deal. It's messy and expensive. Good concrete leveling and setting is essential to a high-quality result you will be happy with for years. Trust the professionals.

Our top-of-the-line concrete pouring technology allows us to fill forms in all sorts of challenging locations. We pour perfectly with a consistent mix of high-grade concrete tailored to your project. With long concrete pump hosing, we can fill walls and complex structures smoothly. 

We never want to see a job done by us that does not exhibit outstanding quality. That is why we invest in great equipment and trained staff with the right attitude. 

Almost every project has hiccups. Timelines end up going wonky; something needs to be redone, a contractor leaves for emergency reasons, etc. We understand this and try to be as flexible and adaptable as possible to your build schedule. Everything has to be ready for concrete pouring, and we don't want people to rush hard and make costly mistakes. Get it done right the first time. No framer wants to work on a foundation that is out of square. Bows and wonky walls are not okay for your high-end projects. Rather than rushing and sacrificing quality, we prefer to ensure quality that our great-grandchildren will appreciate.

We strive to never walk away from a job without a smile of satisfaction.

Concreting basics

Frequently asked questions and essential concreting ideas

 

What is Ready-Mix?

Ready mix concrete is delivered to your job site in a rotating truck chamber. The mixture is moistened and ready to pour right away. No messing around. No dry silica dust that causes lung cancer/organ problems. The well-mixed concrete can be poured with a standard tilt and pour or a mobile boom arm for the hard-to-reach places like wall forms. Order ready mix concrete when you have your forms and rebar in place. Calculate the total volume of concrete (and a little extra, just in case) and call us. Get a price and time slot as soon as possible because concrete is needed at almost every job site, and there aren't many professional companies that serve Park City/Salt Lake City. 

Do I need my concrete plan to be approved by an engineer?

For complex or commercial projects, usually an engineer works with an architectural design to ensure adequate support strength. This plan is then given to the project managers and contractors that execute the plan to get ready for concrete pours.  ​

What artistry & textures can be done with concrete?

Stamped concrete has been growing in popularity for years as technology and design have been making for ever more beautiful finished products. Art that you can walk on or let weather as a retaining wall is pretty special.
Line work in concrete pours gives a brilliant textured finish that provides artistic beauty as well as traction. 
Beautiful designs can be stamped onto blocks, pavers, patios, and more.

Why does concrete need to have lines in it? 

Without cut lines/pad dividers, concrete slabs would crack unevenly. The earth that the slab sits on is not as solid as many people think. It moves and changes and if the concrete doesn't have any flexibility for a large area, then it would crack as the ground lifts, or drifts over the years. Particularly in areas with heavy frosting, Concrete needs to be broken up (with sidewalk lines) or it would crack on its own accord.  If your pad is going to be subject to huge weights or impacts and you want a seamless finish, then a multilayer process must be commenced. 

What is concrete finishing?

Concrete finishing is the process of giving the final layer the desired texture, appearance, and practicality. This is done in many different ways to provide many different results. Learn more below.

Can concrete be repaired?

In some cases, cracked concrete can be refinished and repaired for strength and aesthetic value. 
Sometimes concrete has to be broken up and re-poured.

What's the difference between Cement & Concrete?

Although "concrete" & "Cement" are often used synonymously or mixed up with each other, they are not the same. 
 
Cement:
An ingredient in concrete that usually makes up 10-15% of the mix. Cement is a key binder, activated when hydrated with water; it gets harder over time as it dries. 

Concrete:
The mix of sand, crushed rock, cement, and other additives makes for a convenient sort of moldable, semi-liquid rock. Hydrated into a gritty paste, concrete can be poured into molds (also called forms) and reinforced with rebar to create a strong slab. Floors, driveways, walls, stairs, ceilings, arches, and more can be made with concrete. 

What health risks are involved with concrete?

Mixing, pouring, and finishing concrete yourself can be very hazardous to your health and anyone exposed to the dust. If you are thinking about mixing and doing a concrete job by hand, learn about silica dust first by reading the section below.
'Concrete burns' can become severe when concrete mix comes into contact with the skin and is not removed within a couple of minutes. 

We mix concrete and pour it as safely as possible. With ready mix, there is no dust or danger (as long as you don't go swimming in it). 
Nearby workers and civilians are safe from silica dust exposure.

Once concrete sets, it does not produce large quantities of silica dust and is safe. It is electrically grounding, which means you can put barefoot on it and enjoy the associated health benefits of earthing & deionization.

Crystalline Silica Exposure 

Silica dust is present in drywall, cement products, and more. When inhaled, the lungs can trap the silica particles and develop a condition called silicosis. Inflammation and scarring coincide with reduced ability to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Silicosis can develop over the years or quickly with heavy exposure. It tends to be permanently damaging to the lungs and progressive, even after workplace exposure stops. Avoid it as much as possible. 

There is now a growing mass of evidence suggesting silica ingestion is behind many cases of lung cancer, kidney disease, autoimmune disease, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). 

For these reasons, we suggest contracting a professional concrete pourer that has the machinery and proper safety standards to do the job without exposing precious lives to this debilitating substance.
Even though you could do small concrete jobs yourself, is it worth the silica dust exposure? Is anything worth sacrificing your health for? 

Let the pros with the safety practices and machinery handle it. 

Learn About The Concreting Process

Building a Concrete Patio From Start To Finish

 The pad base must be packed solid to it doesn't give out when weight presses down. Preparing your pad location with the correct slop and thickness is essential. Once the forms are up & rebar in place, discovering that you need to take out a high spot is not what anyone wants to see. If the concrete is too thin because of the high spot, it is likely to crack and 
​
Squaring forms and checking them again after pining them in place is next—time to use Pythagoras Theorem. For small pads, this means measuring 3'marking that point, measuring 4' on the other axis, and then checking to see if the hypotenuse is exactly 5'. If it isn't, then adjustments must be made to make it square. 

Pouring, smoothing, and stamping is up next. In the video, it might look like it's going smoothly, but it takes real professional skill and experience. They threw in some dark charcoal for surface coloring and it produced a great result. 

The right saw and operator makes cutting lines in the concrete go smooth and straight. It is very unlikely that this pad will crack anytime in the coming years. 

A little power washing after it sets and it's ready for a sealant. This really beautifies the concrete while protecting it from stains and weathering. 

Building Concrete Walls

Forming & Pouring

These are high-quality wall forms. The builder reviewed and checked everything was ready for concrete multiple times before the pour. The forms were very trustworthy, and scaffolding was built to make for well smooth pouring process. The concrete hose is heavy, and no one wants to risk climbing up ladders to pour, agitate, and finish the wall. 

Snap Ties

When forming vertical concrete walls, snap ties are used to prevent lateral movement as much as possible.

Fresh concrete exerts considerable hydro pressure as the depth of the lift increases. This is why more snap ties are usually used at the bottom of the lift than at the top. 

Made from high-tensile wires, both standard and high-strength snap ties are available and equipped with simple technology to make them easy to remove after the wall sets.
If water seepage along the tie is a concern, as in some retaining wall situations, one can use a tight-fitting washer on the tie. 

Ties are available in various lengths to accommodate different wall forms. With their tensile strength, snap ties ensure that the wall has consistent thickness at every point. 

Round ties:
A plastic cone on each end of the tie is set to the wall thickness and plugs the plywood/form sheeting hole. They wiggle out after the concrete sets and the form is removed. Any trace of them can be eliminated during a finishing process. 

Flat ties: 
These break off without leaving a hole. They leave a very small, visible line.

How do you color concrete?

Want to add some glamour to your concrete? While sometimes grey is just the right color, adding color to concrete for practical or aesthetic purposes is an option.  

Did you know that you can acid-stain concrete for deep color effects that don't wear off or chip away? The acid stain penetrates concrete and is applied with a spray gun. Effects can be unpredictable and uniquely amazing. 

Before painting concrete, it must be cleaned well. Pressure washing works very well to remove contaminants so the paint can adhere to the concrete thoroughly.

There are a few paint options, all of which are color customizable and can be applied in multiple layers for best results. Many people appreciate paint because it can hide small cracks and imperfections where acid staining could further reveal them.

• Acrylic latex paints - can have enhanced qualities that are great for concrete. Paints designed to resist scuffing, UV damage, color fading, and peeling are great for outdoor durability
• Masonry Paint - Best for waterproofing. It can be used for foundations or any stone surface. Resistant to mildew and moisture penetration.
• Garage Floor Sealant - designed with oil, grease, hot temperatures, and heavy weights in mind, this paint is excellent for workplace floors. Keep your carport, basement, or garage beautiful, functional, and easy to clean. 

You can hire residential painters or commercial painters to get your concrete coated. Alternatively, ask us about what paint plan we think would be best for you.

Fixing Cracks In Concrete

Cracks in concrete can be dangerous and ugly. Does that mean it's time to get the jackhammer, rebuild forms, and pour fresh? Concrete repair can be done for cracks less than an inch or two and it looks pretty good while protecting from further damage. Let's look at some of the techniques used in concrete repair and materials it requires.

About Concrete Repair Sealant 

Concrete sealant has specific qualities that make it great for repairs. It is a little flexible, so it won't crack and worsen as the ground moves more. This means the concrete stays in good condition over time instead of breaking quickly and getting messier.

It comes in a tube that can be used with a caulking gun and is made to match your concrete (although it won't look weathered evenly for some time).

Self-leveling sealant is quite runny. It works well for flat surfaces on the ground, but one must ensure that they prevent it from running out the bottom or sides of the area being filled. 

Semi-self-leveling sealant is good for horizontal surfaces with up to a six degree angle and holds shape more than its self-leveling counterpart. It can be troweled for shaping. 

Non-Sag-Sealant is what is used for vertical surfaces and situations where you want the filler to stay right where you put it. You may find it blending in with brick mortar on walls or waterproofing a crack in concrete walls. 

Repairing Cracks Less Than Half An Inch Wide

Small cracks can become big cracks if not sealed. Little cracks can let water in, and when it freezes, the expanding pressure can make it a big crack or throw the concrete out of level. Sealing is critical if the damage is in your foundations or walls, as that could lead to moisture problems and even structural problems. Ice has little mercy, but we can easily defend against it. 

First of all, we prep the crack. This may involve a chisel to clean up jaggedness and give the sealant a better shot at smoothly flowing in. A wire brush removes debris and scours the surface, giving the sealant a good texture to bond with.

A temporary form on the sides of the crack must be made to prevent the sealant from leaking out. this can be done with a flat piece of plastic, wood, or thick tape. 

Using self-leveling or semi-self-leveling sealant, the crack is filled. For texture, sand can be sprinkled on top while it's wet.

Repairing Cracks One to Four Inches Wide

Let's talk about horizontal surfaces.
Filling larger cracks is most commonly performed using a strip of foam because it provides a flexible base of support and a sealed barrier. Sand is usually used to fill in the hard to get to crevices. 

Besides from the foam addition underneath the sealant, the procedure is practically the same for small cracks. It will use substantially more sealant, but this is fine if sprinkled with some sand (otherwise, it may be a bit more slippery).
