"I have used many contractors, across 30 years and four homes, and I have to say that B.R. Sheldon Concrete is the best of the best. I spoke with Barry, and gave him the scope of the work with estimated square footage of concrete. After he gave me a verbal estimate, he came to the house to measure the area to cement a very accurate estimate. And he did this at NO CHARGE. His estimate was not only the most reasonable and Barry so incredibly personable, but he is also licensed and bonded, and with his excellent reviews AND the fact he does NOT sub-contract the work out, this was a no brainer. BR Sheldon Concrete it is. Two days of prep and the third day to pour/pump the cement, Barrys team, which included Barry by the way, was always on time and did everything he said he would do. His attention to detail was amazing, from measuring to-the-inch where the lines in the driveway should be scored, to making sure my newly-set clothes line pole was perfectly straight, he was always there to make sure it was perfect. He had great ideas on the finish of the driveway which really customized my driveway so it was n ot just brushed pad of cement. My last minute change to add a second step in front of the front door to make a landing area was easily accommodated. Barry has the kind of ethics you want in a contractor, and I wish I could use him to do all the jobs around the house."

"Dee is fantastic! We loved the design Mike came up with for our backyard makeover. Then once construction started we realized we had made choices that needed to be changed. In every case Dee's suggestions (stucco the walls instead of paint, don't use DG next to the pool, run wood fence topper horizontally) turned out to the best. We are so glad we listened to him. Our finished backyard looks like an art installation but one where you can feel comfortable and at home. Now a year later we had them come back for a few tweaks and again Dee's suggestions were the right ones. We are happy we choose G & L and plan to use them again next year when we tackle our front yard."

A properly installed concrete slab can last anywhere from 30 to 100 years. Factors that impact its lifespan include timely repairs of cracks or breaks, local weather conditions, and the type of concrete used. Consulting with a local concrete contractor can give you a more accurate estimate based on your area's climate.
Concrete takes 26 to 30 days to cure to its full strength. After 24 to 48 hours, a 4-inch concrete slab is solid enough to walk on without leaving footprints. After seven days, it should be cured to at least 70% of its full strength. Proper curing is essential for the slab's durability and longevity.
Maintaining your concrete slab properly extends its life and keeps it looking its best. Regularly clean away dirt and debris, and promptly remove stains and spills like car oil or fertilizers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or de-icers that can damage the concrete. Keep heavy machinery and oversized vehicles off your driveway, and consider sealing your concrete to renew its appearance. Remember that while concrete is strong and durable, it isn't designed to support extremely heavy loads without proper reinforcement.
Choosing between a precast concrete slab and pouring concrete on-site depends on your project's size and location. Precast slabs are poured off-site and delivered ready to install, which can save time and ensure consistent quality. However, for larger areas or sites with access limitations, pouring concrete on-site may be more practical. Discuss your options with a local concrete contractor to determine the best choice for your project.
A concrete floor differs from a concrete slab in both its finish and function. A concrete floor is an indoor surface that is polished, coated, or stained for enhanced aesthetics and durability, while a concrete slab is an unfinished base designed to support structures such as sheds, garages, or patios. The finishing process adds visual appeal and protection for interior use, making it suitable for everyday living spaces. Each application is tailored to its intended environment and performance requirements.
When pouring a concrete slab, you must account for extra costs beyond the base price. Additional expenses include reinforcement additions, decorative enhancements like staining or stamping, drainage installation, and permit fees required by local regulations. These factors impact the overall project cost and should be discussed with a professional to ensure an accurate budget.
