Ideas for your concrete slab or pad

Slabs carry garages, workshops, sheds and hot tubs, and the footers carry everything that stands on them.

New concrete slab with a thickened edge, ready for a workshop or garage to be built on it — **Workshop or garage slab** Usually 4 to 6 inches thick on crushed stone, with a thickened edge where walls will stand. More on concrete slabs in Pittsburgh

Concrete hot tub pad beside a back porch, sized to carry a filled tub — **Hot tub pad** A filled tub can weigh three tons or more, so the pad is at least 4 inches thick, often 6, with steel. Run the conduit before the pour. More on shed slabs and hot tub pads

Trench for concrete footers with rebar on supports, checked for depth before the pour — **Footers for an addition** Dug to firm soil below frost depth, with rebar held up on supports so it ends up inside the concrete. More on concrete footers

Types of garage floors we install

A garage floor takes road salt, wet tires and oil every winter. It can be replaced, coated or both.

New concrete garage floor with sawn control joints, sloped to the open door — **New concrete garage floor** Usually 4 to 5 inches thick, sloped toward the door, with sawn control joints so cracks stay in the lines. More on concrete garage floors

Flake epoxy garage floor coating in a two-car garage with storage shelves — **Full flake epoxy coating** Grinding, crack repair, a base coat, broadcast flake and a clear top coat. Flake hides dust and adds grip. More on epoxy garage floors

Ideas for your basement floor

Older Pittsburgh basements often have dirt, thin or patched floors. A new floor or a leveling layer turns them into usable rooms.

New concrete basement floor sloped to a floor drain beside stone foundation walls — **New basement floor** Poured over stone and a vapor barrier and sloped to the floor drain. Concrete often goes in by pump through a window. More on concrete basement floors

Self leveling concrete over an old basement floor, flat and ready for vinyl plank — **Self leveling underlayment** About 1/8 to 1 inch of self leveling concrete over a sound, primed slab makes it flat enough for plank or tile. More on self leveling concrete for floors

Types of flatwork we pour

Walks, landings and pads have to shed water on ground that is rarely flat.

Broom-finished concrete flatwork walk curving from a back door to a gate — **Broom-finished walk** A 4 inch walk on 4 inches of stone, with joints every 8 to 12 feet and a slight slope so water runs off. More on concrete flatwork

Exposed aggregate concrete front walk with a smooth border at a brick house — **Exposed aggregate walk** The surface is washed to show the stone, which gives grip on sloped yards. A smooth border frames it. More on exposed aggregate concrete

Ideas for fixing and protecting concrete

Concrete that is sound but sunken, worn or bare can often be saved for far less than a new pour.

Front walk after concrete leveling, with small patched holes in the lifted panels — **Lifted front walk** Sunken panels are raised through small drilled holes, which are patched afterward, and the joints are sealed. More on concrete leveling in Pittsburgh

Front steps and landing after concrete resurfacing with a fresh gray overlay — **Resurfaced steps and landing** A thin polymer overlay for steps and slabs that are worn on top but sound underneath. It lasts about 8 to 15 years with care. More on concrete resurfacing in Pittsburgh

Concrete sealing on a back slab, finished with a dry satin sheen and even color — **Sealed slab** A penetrating sealer keeps water and road salt out of the surface. Plan to reseal every few years. More on concrete sealing
