What should you look for when hiring a concrete or brick contractor?
First thing is to make sure your contractor is licensed and insured. Just as important is knowing how long they have been in business and if they are reputable. Certification shows that the contractor has preformed work in the presence of experts in the industry and is recognized by other trade organizations. In the construction trade how many years in business says it all.
I’m starting to get some pitting and deterioration on my driveway down by the road on to my house. What’s causing it and how can I correct it?
I've talked about this for years on my radio shows and I can't stress it enough. What you’re seeing is deterioration in the concrete that is caused by the road salts that are used during winter. To prevent further damage, clean the surface off with Defy Safer Masonry Cleaner and treat it with Defy All-Purpose Water Repellent. The water repellent will prevent future damage from the salts by not allowing them to penetrate into the concrete. - Murray
