                     Can I Save Money Repairing My Own Concrete?
Sometimes  "do  it  yourself"  solutions  are  the  most  cost  effective  for  homeowners.  In  the  case  of
concrete repair, however, it's much more cost effective to hire an experienced, professional concrete
raising contractor. Here are some reasons why.
Contractors are insured.
Contractors have experienced, trained crews to do the work.
Contractors have the tools needed to complete the job.
Homeowners typically don't have metallic epoxy flooring tavares fl the experience necessary to do the
job properly. So if you tackle the job yourself and do it poorly, you'll still have to pay a professional to
complete the work
It's usually worth paying to avoid the time and hassle required for a homeowner to fix concrete.
I recently spoke with a homeowner who took on the task of replacing a couple sections of concrete
sidewalk that were cracked and sunken. The homeowner, not knowing that concrete raising even exists
as an alternative, decided that removing his old concrete and replacing it with new was his only option.
He rented a mixer, purchased 12 bags of concrete, a trowel, and some forming material. This cost him
about $175. He already had a sledge hammer and shovels and such. With everything going according to
plan, he spent all  day Saturday demoing and removing the old concrete, making a nice pile to go...
somewhere.
He prepped the area and got it all formed up. Then the mixing began. After a full day of hard labor, the
new concrete was in place and leveled off, it didn't look too bad, but it wasn't quite like he had seen
down the street, which had some light lines in it (broomed). Not knowing he needed to broom the
finish, his new concrete was smooth and it was too late at that point. The end result was a tired and sore
homeowner, with smooth sidewalk sections, a day of time, and $175 less in his pocket for an "almost
OK" project. Oh, and he also had a pile of busted-up concrete to get rid of. Sound like fun?
For just less than $400 in most cases you could hire a concrete repair contractor to raise the sidewalk up
and to caulk the crack and seal it up, leaving a clean, even, repaired sidewalk in about an hour's time.
When it comes to concrete repair around your home, hire a professional. They have the equipment and
the experience, they should be insured, and they can save you money.
