Looking For A Good Concrete Contractor In Medford Oregon?
We have the skills and experience to complete your concrete project on time,
at an affordable price and give the concrete the look and feel you want.
We offer a variety of finishes with out concrete.
Broom Finished Concrete: This look gives the concrete a light texture in
with lines from being swept with a broom. This is completed before it sets completely. This is a very common
finish on sidewalks and commercial areas. Color can be added to give it a unique look.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete: With this finish the top layer of
the concrete is removed so the aggregate below is exposed. The aggregate is all of the small little rocks.
This is very popular look.
Stamped Concrete: This concrete finish is not only
popular in Medford but all of Southern Oregon and the world. Stamped concrete gives the concrete
texture and color. The type of textures are almost unlimited. Color is often added making the concrete
absolutely beautiful. In fact it often times does not even look like concrete once we are done. The options of
texture and color are almost limitless.
Hard Trowel Concrete: This is a smooth concrete finish. This is most
common in garages, shops and basements.
Overlay: Overlays can be used to cover up an existing but ugly concrete slab as
long as it is still structurally sound. This is always much less expensive when compared to tearing out and
re-pouring concrete. It can make a huge difference in the look of your home.
With the exception of overlay here is the process we go through with all of our concrete
projects. This process is extremely important to making sure we provide the highest quality product to all of
our clients.
1. Excavate 8” to 12” of the existing soils.
2. Replace the excavated soil with ¾ - (three quarter minus) structural fill and compact it.
This provides a cushion between the undisturbed soils and your new concrete.
3. Placing and tying a rebar mat of steel The rebar prevents the concrete from lifting and
separating when it cracks. Yes it will crack, all concrete cracks.
4. Finally we tool in or saw cut joints into the concrete in order to control
cracks.
Make sure when you are talking with concrete contractors, in Medford or from anywhere else
in Southern Oregon, ask them about their installation process. If they do not follow the above methods call
someone else.
The reason being that if those steps are not followed as we just outlaid above; your are going
to have lots of problems with your concrete. It will start cracking, heaving, lifting and separating
very quickly. In other words your new concrete is going to look really bad really fast.
Before we go we want you to know this. There are two infallible truths about
concrete.
1. It is going to crack. No matter how good the concrete contractor is. No matter how much time
and effort is put into it. It is going to crack.
2. No one will ever steal it.
