Things have certainly changed for all of us during this pandemic. Life is full of uncertainty and changes that we are all trying to adapt to. One thing we've seen a lot of since lockdowns were enforced was an increase in calls for quotes and new work that allows families to have a space outdoors that they can spend time together on. Schedule this time of year tends to book out a bit, but the virus is adding to that with higher call volume and also working with vendors that have limited staff or shipments.
There are a few things to consider during these times as many search for the perfect contractor for their job.
Is the contractor licensed and insured?
Do they have a reputable name in the area?
Do they have a schedule established currently?
Have you seen their work or browsed photos of jobs done?
How are their jobs built? Do the do their own work or sub it out?
Adding concrete to your home or business is an investment that adds value to your home and it's a permanent fixture. While you call around for quotes, don't get discouraged if a contractor is booked out. Many of our competitors and most reputable companies are booked at least a month out at minimum this time of year. Consider that fact that waiting for the right concrete company, whether it be our company or another, only ensures you get a quality job that's built to last. Waiting is hard, but you'll have an area that you can enjoy or use for the life of your home... For many many years to come. The wait should be well worth it.
Consider the size of the company when trying to understand schedule as well and how things operate. We are a small company with a small crew that has been a part of our staff for nearly a decade! We pride ourselves on staying small and family operated so we can dedicate attention, detail, and quality to every job. Our goal is to leave each customer with a "lasting impression". With that said, maintaining a smaller crew allows more control and focus on each individual job by our team that's been trained and committed to our company since the beginning of establishment. Ask yourself, "do I want to wait for quality work?" Or are you okay settling with cheaper, which often means jeopardizing the look of the final product or structure stability?
We are eager to assist everyone with visions for their outdoor spaces and help them come to life but we want everyone to understand our process and who you are chosing to work for you.
Our company offers free estimates, so if this is something you are interested in, reach out to schedule a consultation.
We hope during this uncertain and frightening time, where things in our lives seem to be changing daily, that you and your family are well and healthy.

With winter weather in the forecast, this is a reminder of ways to care for your concrete.
#1: DO NOT PUT SALT ON YOUR CONCRETE! Although some products are marked safe for concrete, they aren't designed for most commonly used residential mixes. If you need a product to help with traction during winter weather, kitty litter or sand are safe alternatives for slip resistance.
#2: Shovel snow off your concrete. Whether you have a walkway, patio, pool deck, or driveway, try to remove as much snow as possible off your surface. Concrete is a porous product. Too much moisture freezing and thawing repetitively each time winter weather hits can weaken the top of the concrete. Shovel the snow off to reduce the amount of moisture that lays on your surface during freezing winter temps.
Stay safe this season and take care!
More creative work knocked out over the last few months by Lasting Impressions. We worked with some great customers that requested this sundial/compass be added to their concrete. Together, we were able to create with them a layout that made their ideas come to life! We also had another customer who wanted to add some design to their standard broom concrete. By including stamped border bands throughout the job, this gave them the "pop" they were looking for and still kept the job within budget.
