Choosing the Right Contractor

It’s a new year and you are looking to do some of the projects you dreamed up in 2017. Maybe it’s a new concrete patio, covered patio, outdoor kitchen, pool, pergola, fire pit or fire place. Maybe you want all of those items. You have the idea but finding the right contractor can feel daunting! Below is a checklist that you can use to help you find the right contractor.

Before you meet, find out how easy is it to get a hold of their company. Can you pick up the phone and immediately get someone on the other end or does it go into a voicemail box that may or may not get returned. This is important because when you start your outdoor living project whether it be a concrete patio, covered patio, pergola, pool, outdoor kitchen, or fire feature you will always want to know that you can get a hold of someone in a moments notice. If you can’t a hold of them know do not expect anything different later on in the process.

Look at their reputation on-line. You go look them up on yelp, google, angies list, or facebook. Make sure you look at all of these areas because you will want to make sure that the feedback is consistent. You will also want to be sure that the reviews support what they tell when they come visit you at your home for your outdoor living project. You are going to spend a lot of money and this step is important to find out what their customers are saying about them.

After you have scheduled your appointment take note if they show up on time or late. Do they respect your time by showing up when they said they would? These little things are important when you are going through the process of finding the right contractor for your project. Once they are at your house, use this time as an interview process. Ask them to give you a price on the spot? Ask them how many jobs they completed in 2017? Ask them if they have an actual office or if they are working out of their truck? These questions might sound silly but they are important. You want someone you can relate with, shows up on time, and is running a business that is delivering results to the community you live in for years past and years to come.

Remember this quote, “Cheap pays twice.” When you are about to invest thousands of dollars into an outdoor living project make sure you do not jump on the best deal. Make sure you have done all your homework on the above. Make sure you are asking the right questions. Take note of their online reputation. And when you have done that the price should take care of itself. If you are dealing with a company that has a track record of many years of jobs completed, satisfied customers online, and respect you and your time the price they give you is probably going to reflect it.

So as you start this year searching for your outdoor living contractor for patios, pools, covered patios, Carvestone overlay, outdoor kitchens use this above checklist to find the right one for you!

Give Your Backyard New Life This Summer with a Pool Deck Overlay

An unsightly pool deck affects the look of your entire backyard. Not only does it make the pool look old and worn, but also takes away from all adjacent patios, decks, and landscaping. A new pool deck will give your backyard a new life, and make your pool look new again. Homeowners have several options and styles to choose from for their new pool deck.

An outright replacement is an option for a pool deck in disrepair. This comes with the task of ripping the old pool deck out, excavating, and replacing with new concrete. This is a costly undertaking and comes with the risk of damaging the pool itself. Many homeowners opt to leave their pool deck as is when faced with the cost of a complete replacement. A pool deck overlay is a much more cost efficient method that restores the integrity and beauty of your pool deck.

An overlay utilizes your existing pool deck as a base, eliminating the need of removing the concrete. This alone saves the owner a lot of money and time during the project. The overlay uses Carvestone, which is a concrete like material made from crushed limestone and quartz, offering a harder surface that is resistant to chipping. The process involves etching your current pool deck, applying primer, and then the Carvestone product. The beauty of this product is that the owner chooses the color and pattern so that it compliments their current landscaping. A variety of stone patterns and colors allow you to make your pool deck unique and stylish.

If you would like more information on giving your pool area a new look, or fix a pool deck in disrepair please contact us.

Are Overlays on Driveways an Alternative to Re-Pouring?

Are Overlays on Driveways an Alternative to Re-Pouring?

Driveways have to stand up to a lot of punishment. In addition to constant exposure to wind and rain, sun and snow, heat and cold, they’re constantly being rolled over by multi-ton vehicles, used as hosting areas for basketball games, and dozens of other activities. With all of that going on it’s no surprise that your driveway can start looking a little rough around the edges after a few years.

While you always have the option to tear up your driveway and re-pour it, that’s an expensive proposal. In addition to being expensive, though, re-pouring a driveway is inconvenient. The weather has to cooperate, and the slabs have to set just right. Not only that but it can take days if you want to do it right. It’s not an easy task.

Fortunately there’s another option if you want to invigorate your driveway; adding a concrete overlay.

What is a Concrete Overlay?

A concrete overlay is a skin that goes on over existing concrete. These overlays come in a variety of shapes, sizes, designs, and colors, and they cover up and protect the concrete underneath. These overlays can provide extra grip, repel water, or just update the look. Not only that, but overlay on driveways is significantly cheaper than re-pouring the concrete.

For More Than Just Driveways

While concrete overlays are ideal for people who want to give their driveways a face lift while providing it with a bit of added protection, they’re also a great solution for other parts of your home as well. Concrete patios that could use some spicing up are good candidates for concrete overlays, but so are areas around in-ground pools where a water-resistant covering might be just the thing you need.

If you’d like to talk to a professional about concrete overlays for your driveway, or really any part of your home, all you have to do is contact us today!
