Concrete?
 
Hi all,

We have a concrete landing as a front step and it is suffering from some decomposition. It seems as though water got under the paint and caused some of the concrete to crumble. Can anyone suggest a quality contractor who repairs (works on) concrete?

Thank you in advance,

Jetskier:cool:

Working with concrete is the type of project that can go from "works on" to "total replacement" in a heartbeat. Depending upon the quality of the original work, if it is crumbling now due to water, this may be just a precursor of worse problems ahead, and, unfortunately, the solution may be replacement.

By the way, I am not a concrete man, but I have had a set of steps decay virtually right before my eyes because the original work was "not good".

I'm not sure what area you are in but I just had a colored concrete patio done at my house in Gilford by A.W. Brock out of Loudon (783-8904). He did a great job at a fair price and was recommended by Ready Mix concrete out of Laconia.

Good Luck!

All is not rocket science.

A few 2 x 6 boards. Hammer and nails. Shovel. Level. A few bags of gravel mix. A bag of sand mix for top.
A couple of trowels - trowel and edger. Water. A weel barrow. And some heavy lifting.

The arrow points to the "nestled-cottage"...

Across from the former Camp Wyanoke, is an original concrete block, poured in 1949, and aside from a little "rounding" of the top edge, is still in great shape.

"Not good" it's not.

I know the location, and, furthermore, I know the family involved - need I say more?
