New Concrete!!
This is definitely the time to replace that driveway
or porch!
What makes this the right
time is the weather. When the outside temperatures 50 degrees or
higher, this is ideal for concrete to cure properly. Even though you can pour
concrete in colder temperatures with the help of additives such as calcium
chloride to help it sure faster (So as not to freeze), Home Base, Inc. tries to
avoid this whenever we can.
If you do have new concrete
poured in colder conditions it does come with additional worries, such as flaking
due to the moisture in the concrete freezing before the concrete dries.
Concrete stays green for
approximately 12 months. Even though you can drive on it and walk on it in less
than 2 weeks, it’s important to protect your concrete by applying concrete
sealer. After it initially dries this will help prevent salt and other harmful
agents from penetrating into your concrete causing it to pit or crumble. Most
companies that offer concrete work give you the option of applying this
yourself or for a nominal fee to do this for you.
With that being said, spring
time thru early September is the best time to get that concrete work done.
