Why Do I like My Job As A Vancouver Concrete Contractor?

Vancouver Concrete

You kidding me, it's plain and simple: The hours are great!

You never know where, when, what, or for how long you'll be
if working any given day as oppose to a 9-5 job.

No work when it's raining, and believe me there is a lots of
those in the winter time in Vancouver. (unless you're pouring
a suspended slab or wall not needed to be finished, or indoors).
Think positive, and go fishing you'll have a great fun filled
day catching salmon, or trout.

Have I mentioned that the pay is great, and the work is easy,
well after you've put in your time becoming an "all knowing,
and strong" cement finisher, and some days you can work more
than 24 hrs at once.

What else?

I meet new faces every day, and the frequent change of scenery
is something that I like.

So if you like what you're reading and would like to become a
cement finisher, why not give me a call

Why Do Concrete, Vancouver concrete.

Why Do concrete?

One of todays best building material is concrete.
It has been in use for a long time, a very strong,
lasting, reliable, product.

You can make endless sidewalks, nice big patios,
solid driveways, stairs, walls, and even high rise
buildings, as you can see them in Downtown Vancouver,
BC.

When it comes to pouring concrete on a regular basis,
you can forget about steady hours, like 9-5 but
rather be ready to get out to any job site in your
city receiving a call letting you know the time,
and place of the pour, and of course one have never
an idea when the day might end.

Some people can't get used to these kind of
working hours, but cement finishers, Vancouver
concrete contractors like getting well paid for
the hard work they do daily.

Vancouver Area Concrete Contractors

The lower mainland area has been a great place
for concrete contractors. The small Canadian city
Vancouver has became a globally known place
of natural beauty, and a residing place for the
Canadian upper class.

Thanks to developers, investors, and of course
the hardworking concrete contractors of the
greater Vancouver area, the last 20 years has
brought a a big change to this city in size.
Not only our city, but the local economy also
has benefited from it tremendously.

Each one of the condominium apartments requires
a solid basement for storage, parking areas, strong
columns, and walls to support all the weight
above and they're made of concrete. The highrise
buildings are obviously made of steel reinforced
concrete and the high standards of today’s seismic
standards in mind .

Nova days the building contractors have to take
care of the sidewalks, and curbs front of of the
property of the new building which adding more
work to the concrete contractors “repertoire”.

In Vancouver today there are large number of
highly trained, and qualified concrete
contractors to take care of our cities needs for
building development, and also repairs, and restoration.

Vancouver Concrete, Farewell Winter

It's sure has been a long and grey winter in Vancouver, BC
which slowing us down placing, and finishing concrete.

We do go through this every year mainly because of our
geological location, we get hammered by rain all winter long.
It is a well known fact that you can't finish concrete in
pouring rain.

Never the last, Vancouver Concrete Contractors live true it.

This past winter has been difficult because when it wasn't
raining we've had freezing temperatures omitting us from
being able to work, so we just had to sit it out.

It is the end of March now, and most of us picked up part
time work with other local contractors to give boost to our
income for the slow season. We are working on high rise
buildings where the concrete pours are on regardless of the
falling rain, and as the weather is improving, so is our
chance for being able to complete more of our residential
concrete work under sunny skies.

Concrete Contractors, Damage Control in Rain

...So you started to pour the slab, all though the
weathermen are saying there is an 80% chance for rain
that day, and as a concrete contractor you gotta do
your job that day.Living in Vancouver, BC.this could
happen to you often, mainly in the winter, which is
rainy, and mild.

And guess what... while working wouldn't you know?!It
has started to rain.Well if you're smart, you already
have enough poly with you to cover the whole slab,
or have made arraignments to deal with it beforehand .
In case if you didn't know, as soon as water hits the
concrete,you start loosing time, and the chances of
getting aquality finish deteriorating by every drop
of rain falling on your concrete.

So my advise to you is to cover it as soon as possible
to control the damage to a minimum, unless you're into
much concrete repair..., or don't take a chance,
unless it's an absolute must to get the job done.

You can still make the cuts, edges, and broom a
sidewalk with your college lifting up the poly, while
you working underneath, but with a patio, or bigger
driveway, it gets tricky.

Let suppose you're pouring a big slab on grade in the
rain, and it has to be machine finished. there is no
way covering a large surface like that.the best next
thing is for damage control is to wait until is hard
enough to machine without mixing in the water, than
sweep trowel it as you go.

As an experienced concrete contractor,and a cement
finisher I could go on about details for a while...

Stamped Concrete

When it's done properly Stamped Concrete looks beautiful.

...But first you have to place the right type of concrete
and get a pattern and color that looks best with the
surroundings to get the desired look.

Without the experience of seasoned cement finishers,
stamped concrete would not turn out nice, but using
dedicated professionals the whole process is a breeze.

Don't forget to wash, and seal in a couple of days!!
