"How To Virtually Guarantee A Professionally Repaired or Sealed Concrete Driveway That Will Last"
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.
Just open any phone book, open any home improvement magazine, do an internet search, look around as you're driving, and it's easy to see... there is no shortage of concrete repair contractors. There's no large up front investment required, no special skills required, no testing required... nothing.
To top it off... did you also know that concrete repair and sealing ranks as one of the most fraudulent industries in the country? There's little or virtually zero regulation of the concrete repair and sealing industry. Concrete scams can be found just about everywhere. Yes, unfortunately... even in the
Amarillo 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 many Concrete Driveways does the average homeowner have repaired in a lifetime? One... maybe two? Therefore, most homeowners don't understand the proper concrete repair techniques that will last any significant length of time.
This is where it really gets 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 when we ask them questions, they can simply reply with answers we want to hear, rather than giving us the honest answers. The unethical concrete 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, and increase 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. They already have our hard earned money!
Unfortunately, we end up spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars more on additional repairs. And the worst part is, we end up with a driveway that looks patchy and blotchy from multiple repairs and mismatched colors.
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 driveway 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 your concrete driveway and simply increases the frequency that it will need to be sealed. As a matter of fact, this is one of the most common concrete sealing scams out there!
Some concrete repair contractors will recommend overlaying your concrete when in fact, it should be removed and replaced. Not only will they recommend overlaying it but they'll do it with substandard practices and materials not even meant for overlaying concrete on a large scale that a driveway requires.
This concrete driveway should have been removed and replaced in order to be repaired properly, but because this contractor didn't offer remove and replacement services they SOLD this homeowner on installing an overlay instead. They promised them that a concrete overlay would be the best most cost effective option. The existing cracks that were in the driveway are reflecting through and crumbling, the overlay is peeling and chipping, and it's not lasting near as long as it should. Now... this concrete repair contractor is nowhere to be found. Their stellar 3 year warranty is non existent!
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.
How does a person choose a concrete repair contractor and be certain they have adequate experience? How does a person choose a driveway 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 homeowners off in the past? How can someone be sure the contractor they hire has the proper licensing and insurance? How much does 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 going to overlay the concrete to thin?
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.
