Concrete Contractors Coquitlam
Concrete Driveways
They say that a first impression lasts forever. Whether you believe this is true or not, don’t take a chance on it for your home. Your driveway is the first thing people see and we make sure that they will have an excellent impression of it. We can incorporate intricate designs and finishes to match your home’s exterior and landscape. The worst thing you can do is have a freshly installed driveway that doesn’t complement the rest of your home. With the versatility that concrete has, we’ll be able to customize the perfect design and finish that seamlessly matches with your home.
Two of the most popular driveways we are seeing from our clients is stamped concrete and exposed aggregate. |
Stamped Concrete |
Exposed Aggregate Concrete |
This design style is commonly used in driveways but can be found on patios, and walkways as well. Concrete stamping is the process of imprinting the patterns and designs into the concrete for it to take shape. You are able to make ordinary concrete look like flagstone, brick, and even natural stone with proper technique. Add colouring to that and you can start to see how many combinations you can have with this.

We would be comfortable in saying most people have seen this type of concrete in their lives but not necessarily know the name for it. Exposed aggregate is concrete where a thin layer from the top is removed to expose gravel, sand, crushed glass, or quartzite. This results in a beautifully textured surface that “exposes” the natural materials used in the concrete. In modern day, there are many different types of decorative concrete but exposed aggregate has been around for over 100 years and is a timeless classic. It will never go out of style and has a high level of practicality due to increased level of traction this finish gives.

Concrete Patios
There’s nothing better than kicking back and relaxing on your patio while you enjoy the beautiful weather BC has to offer. Not only can a patio add visual appeal to your property, it has great practical use for those that love to spend time in the outdoors. We’ve worked on patios that range from a space for a couple of chairs all the way to a concrete patio with a decked out full kitchen. Any patio projects you may have, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Why a concrete patio you may ask. In recent times, homeowners have increasingly chosen to go with concrete as their material of choice. Wood is another commonly used material for patios but there are a few issues that come with it. Wood decks will rot over time as it is an organic material and requires new staining and sealing every couple of years. Wild rodents and bugs will live in and around wood which causes another chore for your household. You also have to worry about pesky blisters with wooden decks. Concrete on the other hand is an affordable material that can withstand most of what mother nature throws at it. Concrete is very versatile and can be manipulated to form different styles, designs, colours, and textures. You can even get the best of both worlds as you can mimic wood with the proper concrete. |
Concrete RepairsWhile concrete is one of the most durable materials to choose from, it may need repairs from time to time. This can be caused from normal wear and tear, weather erosion, or the shifting of the ground below where your concrete is. Sealing your concrete will slow down damage caused from water as the seal keeps water from penetrating the surface. Concrete cracks can be seen anywhere that concrete is used. This can range from a driveway, walkway, patio, warehouse flooring, and even foundational cracks. While we recommend all concrete cracks to be looked at as quick as you can, if you notice a crack in your foundation or on your warehouse floor, you should contact us immediately as these cracks can cause irreversible damage if left untouched.
Aside from concrete cracks, concrete spalling is another commonly seen issue that we are able to repair. Concrete spalling is when the surface of your concrete starts to become flakey or has pieces broken off of it. Whether you are wanting to repair a concrete crack or spalling, it is highly recommended to hire a concrete contractor for the job. There are some types of job where you are able to DIY, concrete work is one that we would recommend leaving to the professionals. Once the rainy season comes around, basement leaks can become an issue. Give us a call if you need a basement leak repair. |
Concrete Sidewalks
Having proper sidewalk installation is essential to have for urban areas with heavy traffic as it provides foot and bike paths along streets but through other areas like recreational zones, strata complexes, and residential areas. A properly installed sidewalk can help protect landscaping, increase the livability of an area, and protect pedestrians from traffic. Sidewalks aren't just a means for get from point A to point B. When installed with expertise, a concrete sidewalk can add curb appeal to any home or property. While grey is the most commonly chosen colour for a sidewalk, the versatility that concrete provides can give you a wide array of colours and designs to choose from. This allows you to mix match to get the perfect fit for your sidewalk and the exterior of your home or property. As expert concrete contractors, we only use the highest quality materials for our sidewalk and pathway projects.
