Cracked concrete can give homeowners hassles as well as compromise the structural integrity of a driveway, patio, or walkway. Regardless of the origin of the fracture — drying shrinkage, water seepage, thermal movement, or other factors – professionals can take advantage of National Home Improvement Month in May by assisting homeowners in making concrete repairs to their homes
Rather than incurring the cost of removing an existing concrete slab and building a new one, repairing and resurfacing existing concrete is a more manageable project for a homeowner, since it can be performed over the course of a weekend.
