Here Comes the Cold

Hardscapes Inc. Driveway RepairThere is a bite in the air this morning. Some of the broad leaf trees already littered with yellow. Fall too soon.

There is still time to address some of those concrete issues you were trying to get to over the summer.

Cracked sidewalks and driveways can don’t like this time of year. Big differences in temperature over the course of the day can expand and contract crack and leave fissures where water can collect and create even larger cracks as winter approaches.

Now is the time to get a new surface for your walk or drive before the snow flys.

Like the old commercial said.

Transform your garage this summer!

admin

You’ve decided that this is the summer you’re going to declutter, reorganize, clean and freshen up your garage space. While it’s likely going to be a big job, it’ll be worth it when the cold weather arrives and you don’t have to squeeze your vehicle in between everything else that’s been dumped in there over the years.

While you’re cleaned out, why not get that ugly floor cleaned up and coated?! A polyaspartic coating will do wonders for your garage. It will be brighter, cleaner, easier to clean, and best of all, protected from all that salt we spoke of last week.

Hardscapes Inc. offers solutions for any budget. Gorgeous flake floors and even mica metallic flakes for those that like to eat, sleep and play in their garage, as well as solid color for those with more of a utilitarian need. These coatings are 100% UV stable, extremely abrasion resistant, and highly chemical resistant.

Many garage floors can be done start to finish in just ONE DAY!

Concrete Overlay Makeover

admin

Is your office looking a little run down and tired? Does the floor of your store show the wear and tear of years of traffic?

You can bring these working floors back to life and give your office or store floor a brand new look.

A concrete overlay can make all the difference. This type of an overlay can add years to the life of you floor and create a specific ambiance designed especially for you.

Here are some things to consider when contemplating a concrete overlay.

What conditions will the floor be exposed to?

Certain polished surfaces might not be appropriate for wet conditions. High traffic areas might need to be a darker colour to give the floor a longer life and keep maintenance to a minimum.

What is the instillation cost?

Cost average between $3 to $10 a square foot depending on instillation. More elaborate finishes can be more. Give Hardscapes Inc. a call for more information or a free quote.

Driveway Damage Stops Sale

admin

Drieveway-CrackWhat is the first thing a potential home buyer sees when they view a property? The driveway. They will either park in it or walk up it as they approach the home. If you think a cracked and pitted driveway doesn’t matter to a potential buyer you would be wrong.

Here is what one agent had to say.

“A new concrete driveway will greatly increase your home’s curb appeal. Better curb appeal can speed the sale of your home. It may be an upgrade that will not increase the value of your home but without repair it might cause your house to not sell at all.”

Hardscapes Inc. is expert at repairing cracked and pitted driveways and garage floors. Don’t wait until your house is up for sale to get the job done.

Against The Storm

admin

When hurricane Odile hit the coast of Baja California many luxury homes and condos as well as thousands of Mexican families and businesses were effected. Everything that wasn’t nailed down was swept away. What was left was made of concrete and as rebuilding began concrete was the building material of choice. Now two years later the building continues and so does the use of concrete.
