Our
saws and crack chasers use special blades to tear
out old, failed caulking and not melt it. We can
handle any material tear out - tar, urethane, silicone
removal - you name it! - from residential to large
commercial projects. Click on
to see us at work!
Anexample of
our capabilities is the
143,000 linear feet of repairs at the Alamo &
National Car Rental Facility located at Denver International
Airport.
Epoxy
Applications
Ninety
percent of our work involves proper surface preparation.
Shot blast, proper cleaning solutions, concrete
temperature, the right equipment, and the best epoxies.Success
with epoxies is getting to know your products. We
use
Tnemec epoxies and know them thoroughly. Bar
tops, garage floors, warehouses, commercial buildings
- there are NO LIMITS!

An
example of our epoxy application is the Case Logic
Warehouse in Boulder, Colorado.
Inside
Pool Repairs & Pool Deck Repairs
We rebuild steps, repair cracks,
and perform patch work. All materials used are proven
to withstand chemical attack.
An example of our pool repairs
is at the Green Mountain Swim Club in Lakewood,
Colorado.
Acid
Stain
This
treatment is available in a variety of colors. Consumers
need to be aware that an acid stain will bring out
the imperfections in the concrete. Cracks will appear
darker, and stain will absorb at different rates
depending on how porous the concrete is. This can
cause a mottled or aged appearance in the concrete.

Concrete
Surface Sealing
A clear surface sealer penetrates
the pores within the concrete surface material and
becomes a water resistant barrier. This sealant
reduces the absorption of water into the concrete
surface, minimizing new water damage and providing
some stain resistance. As this is a clear coating,
it does not cover any imperfections in the existing
concrete.
Application
Temperature: Above 35-40 degrees F.
Cure Time: Approximately 1 hour
Concrete
Surface Sealing/Hardening
This option of a clear sealant/hardener
is deeply absorbed and chemically interacts with
the components of the concrete, becoming a permanent
part of the concrete. This process keeps water from
being absorbed into the concrete while hardening
the surface to help prevent against spalling and
chipping. It is effective in situations where the
concrete has aged, or it can be used as a cure on
green concrete. This type of sealant is often used
in commercial facilities that have a high rate of
traffic/wear (supermarket/warehouse floors and arena
seating areas). It is becoming more commonly used
in residential applications since it extends the
life of the concrete. Again, since this is a clear
coating, it does not cover any imperfections or
repairs in the existing concrete.
An example of this work is at
the Home Depot in Lafayette, Colorado.
Application Temperature: Above
35-40 degrees F.
Cure Time: Approximately 1 hour.
Patch
Work
Patch repairs are sometimes
the most effective repair for damage to smaller
areas, or where damage is specific - such as a hole,
spalling, or damaged edges. We use several different
products, depending on the requirements and color
of the area being repaired. We try to blend these
repairs as much as possible with the existing concrete.
Patch work includes rebuilding curbs, steps, patios,
and foundation corners.
An example of our patch work
is curb repair surrounding the building at the Park
Meadows Mall.
Application Temperature: Concrete
and ambient temperature above 40 degrees F.
Cure Time: Varies
Power
Washing
We
power wash to remove stains from vegetation, oil,
grease, and rust. Chemical treatment is available
depending on the type of stains. Power washing also
is used to clean and prepare surfaces prior to application
of sealants or hardeners.
Application
Temperature: above 32 degrees F.
Cure Time: N/A
Resurfacing
Resurfacing
of concrete is available depending on the condition
of the existing concrete. This is a thin coating
(1/16th to 1/8th of an inch) of concrete-like material
or acrylic material, specifically designed for resurfacing
concrete. The concrete-like material is gray in
color, and there is some variation in coloration
on large areas, depending on its interaction with
the existing concrete. The acrylic material is available
in gray and other colors. This product has a paint-like
appearance when applied, but it is actually a concrete
resurfacing product that is reinforced with acrylic
and made specifically for concrete. This usually
is a rolled-on application; therefore it creates
a rolled (not a broom) finish. Average life expectancy
is one to three years, depending on weather, traffic,
ice melt, etc. Warranty for one year. Click

Application
Temperature: Above 32 degrees F. Cure Time: Approximately 6 hours
Self-Leveling
Underlayments
Self-leveling underlayments
are an option for primarily indoor concrete problems,
such as basements that have heaved, or where the
slope on a slab is unacceptable due to a bad concrete
pour. We can float the floor with self-leveling
underlayment to a 1/4" variance over a 10'
span. This can be accomplished for a fraction of
the cost of replacement, without the hassle and
inconvenience of breaking up the slab and hauling
it out a window. This
application also is very popular in new home construction
to correct basement slabs.
Cure Time: Approximately 24
hours.
An example of our work is at
Fox Studios in downtown Denver. The lobby floor
had to be flat enough for tile; we poured for 13
hours continually to correct a floor.
Drain
Installation and Evaluation
Drain
installation and evaluation is one of our specialities.
We evaluate whether installing a drain will solve
your drainage problems. We install the drains so
that they work properly to move water away from
buildings and foundations. We have installed drains
in parking garages, docks, and walkways. We have
all the equipment and know-how to accomplish long
runs with the proper graduated flows. Click on
to
see us at work!
We
specialize in failed truck dock heavy duty drains.
We cut 14" paths and remove concrete and failed
drains. We then install new graduated drains and
repour with the proper amount of concrete beneath
the drains. We have never had a problem with a drain
we have installed.
Examples
of our drain installation work:
1,004
linear feet of graduated trench drain installed
in a parking garage at One Denver Highlands to
provide proper drainage.
Drains for the truck docks at Costco in Littleton,
Colorado. It was a big, dirty job that turned
out beautifully!
Urethane
Deck Coating
Ninety percent of successful
deck coating is proper surface preparation before
application - powerwashing, repairs, proper surface
texture. Urethane deck coating is applicable for
parking garage decks, mezzanines, and high traffic
walkways.
An example of our work with
urethane deck coating is at the Art Institute of
Colorado parking garage facility, located in downtown
Denver.
