"How To Virtually Guarantee Professionally Repaired Concrete That Will Last!"
It's no secret that one of the keys to higher occupancy rates, the best paying tenants and more visitors is a well maintained and well groomed parking lot and common areas!
If the parking lot has potholes, failed areas, the striping is faded and the entire parking lot just looks old worn out and ugly, that's a direct reflection on the tenants, business owners and homeowners. The cleaner and sharper the parking lot is, the more customers. The cleaner and sharper the parking lot is, the better the tenants. The cleaner and sharper the parking lot is, the more pride homeowners and renters have in their property. The cleaner and sharper the parking lot is, the more appealing it is to visitors. It just makes sense to have the first thing people see looking the best!
It's very easy to get into.
Set up a business name, buy some concrete finishing tools and supplies, build a website and... poof! You're
in business!
Set up a business name, buy some concrete finishing tools and supplies, build a website and... poof! You're
in business!
Just open any phone book, open any commewrcial property improvement magazine, do an internet search, look
around as you're driving, and it's easy to see, there's no shortage of concrete repair contractors!
There's no large up front investment required, no special skills required, no testing required... nothing!
Now, that's not meant to demean the good and honest concrete repair contractors out there... not at all. There are some very honest, hard working folks in the concrete repair business who have invested a lot of time into continuing education and expert concrete repair classes. But because it IS so easy to get into, there are many concrete repair contractors that start up with little or no experience or training and within months or even just weeks, they're out of business! They're here today and gone tomorrow leaving many property owners with poor work and worthless warranties!
To top it off... did you also know that concrete repair and concrete sealing ranks as one of the most fraudulent industries in the country? There's little or virtually zero regulation of the concrete repair industry.
Concrete scams can be found just about everywhere and yes, unfortunately... even in the Ottawa area!
More people get ripped off by unethical and inexperienced concrete repair contractors than just about any
other industry out there!
And the worst part is... most people don't even realize it until it's too late!
Think about it... how much Concrete Repair does the average commercial property need repaired in a lifetime? Most property owners and managers don't understand the proper concrete repair techniques that will help to ensure a quality job that will last any significant length of time!
This is where things can really go bad.
The unethical concrete contractors know this! They know most people don't understand the intricacies of concrete repair services, so they take advantage of that fact. They know that when we ask them questions, they can simply reply with answers we want to hear, rather than giving us the honest answers.
The unethical contractors assure us they'll do a great job, but then conveniently leave out the most important details! Then, when they perform the work, they cut corners to save time and money, ultimately increasing their profits!
They know their work will last just long enough to outlive their warranty and by the time we realize we've paid for a bad job, weeks or months down the road, they're already long gone. They're nowhere to be found.
Unfortunately we end up spending thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars more on additional repairs. And the worst part is, we end up with concrete that looks patchy and blotchy from multiple repairs and mismatched colors all around the property. Who want's that?
Patching over areas where the concrete should be removed and replaced. Instead, they repair the concrete with a thin layer of overlay material that will not withstand normal wear and tear and fail within a couple of months or even weeks! This is also known as a "skin patch". It's simply just a band-aid patch job that will last just long enough for the contractor to get paid and get out of there!
Perform concrete crack repair with products that do absolutely nothing to prevent water from penetrating them which ends up causing further damage to the concrete in the future.
Watering down and diluting concrete sealers way beyond manufacturer specifications to get more coverage with less material, thus increasing their profits. This does very little to protect your concrete and simply increases the frequency that it will need to be sealed!
Diluting solvent based concrete sealers way beyond manufacturer specifications to get more coverage with less material, thus increasing their profits! This also does very little to protect the concrete and simply increases the frequency that it will need to be sealed!
As a matter of fact, diluting the sealer is one of the most common concrete sealing scams out there!
Putting too much trust in an inexperienced contractor is just not worth it! Worse... making the mistake of hiring a concrete repair contractor or concrete sealing company that ends up just ripping us off!
So just how does a person choose a concrete repair contractor and be certain they have adequate experience?
How does a person choose a concrete repair or sealing company and be certain they're not going to mislead
us? How can someone be sure that the contractor they want to hire hasn't ripped other property owners off in
the past? How can someone be sure the contractor they hire has the proper licensing and insurance? How much
does good, quality concrete repair or sealing cost when it's done the right way? Is the contractor going to
dilute the sealing material and increase their profits or are they going to apply it at manufacturer's
specifications? Is the contractor going to suggest an overlay when the concrete should be removed and
replaced? Is the contractor fully insured and is it in force at the time of installation?
These are all questions that most of us ask, but really have no way of knowing or verifying! To do such
extensive background verification can require days of research, time and money. Unfortunately, with little
or no knowledge of concrete repair, there's just no guarantee that the job will turn out right if you don't
know what you're looking for.
