Q. Where do you work?
A. We work state wide.

Q: Can you resurface our driveway if it has cracks in it?
A: Certainly, we are unique in this part of our preparation, all cracks are ground out with a diamond blade to a depth of 35mm aprox, then doweled, our epoxy is 3 times as strong as concrete, over the repair we apply what we call a bandage to totally hide the repair then stone it back in preparation for the next stage of the project.

Q: What is your experience in the concrete industry?
A: I have a back ground of being a carpenter in the housing industry then moving into the construction industry, moving forward to being a leading hand to foreman to construction supervisor on projects from residential to commercial, footpaths to multi story and bridges, covering all aspects of the industry from formwork, steel placement to concrete place and finish. After a severe industrial accident i had to find a less physically demanding line of work, now having built a successful business in decorative concrete finishes over the years, we add value and style to homes and make our clients feel happier within.

Q. Do you only do concrete resurfacing?
A. No, we also form up steel and pour concrete as well, from foot paths to driveways, even that patio slab you have been thinking about!
