Let say you have decided to place a concrete slab yourself with no,
or very limited previous experience.My first thought would be:it's
a bad idea, don't do it, you're risking the money you invested in
the cost of the ready mix concrete ( about a $1,000 a mixer full).
...But I'm a positive thinker and not gonna discourage you, but rather
assist you with your plan of getting the job done well.
You see it takes many years of experience making a great looking
high quality concrete driveway, patio, or sidewalk,and Vancouver
Concrete Contractors, know that when it comes to concrete, timing
is everything.
Don't misunderstand me were not checking our watch every 5 minutes
to know what's happening with the concrete, but rather "keeping an
eye" on it.
As soon as the individual parts or ingredients of concrete are mixed
together in a drum,(cement, sand, aggregate, small stone or
gravel coarse aggregate and water) a chemical reaction start taking
place, in other words the concrete is starting to set up, and it's
only a matter of time before it turns solid.
Summertime is when concrete sets faster because the worm Vancouver
temperatures, and if there is no shade over the slab, the sun will
speed things up real fast.So what ever you do, make sure you do it
fast, your timing is going to affect everything until the final out
come.
...But if you want yourself saved from some major headache, hire us
Cement Contractors, you'll be getting the great looking quality work
you're looking for.
