Welcome to AB Concrete! We specialize in transforming old, worn-out driveways into smooth, durable concrete that not only looks good but lasts a long time. Here's everything you need to know about installing a brand-new concrete driveway in Houston and the surrounding areas.
Signs Your Driveway Needs a Makeover:
- Big Cracks: If you notice deep cracks, your driveway may be seriously damaged.
- Bumpy Ride: Visible dips or bumps can pose a trip hazard.
- Worn out: Faded color and crumbling edges indicate that it is time for a change.
Plan Your New Driveway:
- Size and Shape: We will work with you to determine the best size and layout for your driveway based on how you use it.
- Concrete Mix: A premium 4,000 psi concrete mix is used for all residential projects, ideal for ensuring long-lasting strength and durability in driveway replacements.
How We Replace Driveways:
- Out With the Old: The existing concrete is broken up and removed, and all debris is hauled away to maintain a clean and tidy property.
- Prepping the Base: The area is cleared of debris and obstacles, then marked precisely. Excavation follows, with soil compaction next. Layers of gravel and sand are added, checked for level, and forms are placed to ensure the foundation is robust and even for the new driveway.
- Pouring the Concrete: New concrete is poured to create an even surface that is expertly sloped to ensure proper drainage.
- Finishing Touches: The surface is expertly smoothed and allowed to set, achieving the necessary strength and desired appearance.
After We Are Done:
- Curing Time: We'll advise you to keep off the new concrete for about 4 days. However, it's best to check with the owner for specific guidance based on weather conditions and other factors.
Other Things to Consider:
- Permits: Assistance is available for obtaining any necessary permits.
- Timeline: A clear schedule will be provided, detailing the duration of the work.
- Budget: Costs are discussed upfront, ensuring transparency in the pricing of materials, labor, and clean-up.
Choosing AB Concrete ensures that you get a high-quality, long-lasting driveway installed by professionals.
