Well, winter is (nearly) behind us, and with Spring flowers, allergies, and cleaning comes visions of outdoor entertaining once the weather is more predictable. But is your home ready? Here are some signs it’s time to touch up your concrete or epoxy surfaces, inside or out!
Don’t Break Your Mother’s Back…Fix That Crack
Winter can be hard on your concrete. The ice can get into cracks and expand, enlarging them. Plus, ice-melting chemicals can damage your concrete or epoxy surfaces.
We did our part by warning everyone about how to protect their concrete during the cold a few months ago, but we expect not everyone saw it. Besides, we all make mistakes, and many of us now have damaged concrete.
Luckily, all is not lost. You have options for concrete repair and touching up your concrete or epoxy surfaces.
Firstly, we can fill in the cracks! Great news, right? But it’s not as simple as just pouring more concrete in. You’ll need experts who understand the right amount and the correct chemical bonding agents.
What Kinds of Cracks?
Different cracks have different solutions, but luckily we do have solutions for them all.
Naturally, smaller cracks are easier to fix and likely just require addressing the surface. Deeper cracks will naturally require more work, and we will address what you need on a case-by-case basis.
Decorative Lines Won’t Affect Your Father’s Spine – Resurfacing
What about your epoxy surfaces and other finishes? If your flooring finishes were damaged from the winter or for any other reasons, there are ways that Blue Ridge Coatings can bring them back to being as good as– or better than – new.
Firstly, all finishes eventually need to be reapplied. They are built to protect your floor from accidents and elements. But like a suit of armor, they take a beating over time. So you shouldn’t feel like your epoxy or finish hasn’t accomplished its goal.
Secondly, let’s talk about the how. Like concrete refinishing, it takes an expert to add your new finish and recoat your concrete. We start by thoroughly cleaning your surface; then, we determine the state of what’s beneath.
If only the finish needs replacing, we’ll apply the proper bonding agents to do so, but if the concrete or flooring below has some wear and tear, we’ll address that first.
Adding Some Flare to Epoxy surfaces
What if your floor is fine, but you want it to be fine? Well, we can help there too.
Your finishes don’t have to be boring. You can have style and substance. We use epoxy and other floor finishes to create patterns and other decorations to truly make your space your own.
We have one client who gave their home an Egyptian theme! But even if you don’t want to go all out, we can add swirls, patterns, and more. Colors and logos are also available!
