hurt because the winter weather conditions.

Preparing and Forming by Stamped Concrete

Preparing and  Forming  by Stamped Concrete

It's mid October in Vancouver BC.

Starting to get those overcast, and rainy days, which are perfect
for preparation and forming for concrete pours

Once the weather clears we can do the placing of these decorative,
smooth, or stamped concrete patios, sidewalks, driveways and stairs.

We are quiet accustomed at this time of the year to make the best of
these grey cloudy days for the preparation and forming for
concrete pours.Keeping  us local concrete services providers busy
throughout the mild coastal winter in BC Canada.

Now that all is prepaired it's up to the Metro Vancouver residents
to decide whether it is Stamped Concrete, Exposed Aggregate,
broomed, or the ever popular smooth outdoor  finished concrete
gonna feel those forms.

When it's done properly,
Stamped Concrete looks beautiful!

...But first you have to place the right type of concrete
and get a pattern and color that looks best with the
surroundings to get the desired look.

Without the experience of seasoned cement finishers,
stamped concrete would not turn out nice, but using
dedicated professionals the whole process is a breeze.

Don't forget to wash, and seal in a couple of days!!

How Do I Get Stamped Concrete Done In The Vancouver Rain?

How Do I Get Stamped Concrete Done In The Vancouver Cold  Rain?


I personally do not recommend placing any concrete in the Vancouver rain,
but never the less if you must, you better be ready to deal with it.

You're one of the risk takers,  make sure the weather forecast calls for a clearing
strand. You can do Stamped Concrete on an overcast day with minimum amount
of accelerator on a cold day.

If you happen to have a roof over the slab that helps. Now all you got to do is
pay attention to drippings, and the side openings like windows, and doors.
Poly, and plywood are your friends, so use them to protect your concrete.


An outdoors pour in the rain is a different story, you can prepare in advance to a
certain level to cut damages while placing, and finishing covering everything up
with tarps, and poly, but remember do it before hand, because if rain hits your
slab you're set back hours finishing.

Stamped Concrete Spring Cleanup, Vancouver Concrete Contractors Update

Stamped Concrete Spring Cleanup, Vancouver Concrete Contractors Update

If you're anything like me you can't wait to clean up the house at the end of long grey,
rainy winter in the Greater Vancouver Area.

...And as you're power washing your walkways, driveways, and patios start noticing some sinking, or new cracks, peelings, fading of stamped concrete,  and some chippings in your concrete. With the spring, and warm temperatures just around the corner this is the time to take care of all that getting in touch with your local concrete contractors to fix, recreate the new look of the raggedy old looking concrete surfaces.

The patching, re sealing or as last resort, the removal, of old concrete could be a question of looks, and also a safety issue in some cases, (like stairs for example). I've seen cracked foundations with water seeping through into the basement, that can be properly taken care of .

The pouring of new stamped driveways sidewalks, stairs, patios, will put your mind at ease using reliable long lasting concrete products. Weather plain broom finished, nice looking exposed aggregate, or the exclusive stamped concrete, these, and related concrete works  can be done within days ahead of the busy summer season.

Why Do I like My Job As A Stamped Concrete Contractor?

Why Do I like My Job As A Stamped Concrete Contractor?

You kidding me, it's plain and simple: The hours are great!

You never know where, when, what, or for how long you'll be
if working at any given day as oppose to a 9-5 job.

No work when it's raining, and believe me there is a lots of
those in the winter time in Vancouver. (unless you're pouring
a suspended slab or wall not needed to be finished, or indoors).
Think positive, and go fishing you'll have a great fun filled
day catching salmon, or trout.

Have I mentioned that the pay is great, and the work is easy,
well after you've put in your time becoming an "all knowing,
and strong" cement finisher, and some days you can work more
than 24 hrs at once.

What else?

You can benefit your artistic talent when it comes to do new
decorative stamped concrete designs, if that's what makes you
happy.

I meet new faces every day, and the frequent change of scenery
is also something that I like.

So if you like what you're reading and would like to become a
cement finisher, why not give me a call, I'll give you "directions".

By now I'm sure you figured out I'm only kidding, but

If you're seriously interested to get some concrete done, around
your house, and appreciating high quality stamped work, give us
a call.

Why Do We Use Concrete!? Stamped Concrete

Why Do We Use  Concrete?! Stamped Concrete

One of todays best building material is concrete.
It has been in use for a long time, a very strong,
lasting, reliable, product material.

You can make endless sidewalks, nice big patios,
solid driveways, stairs, made of beautiful decorative
stamped concrete. We use steel reinforced Concrete
to make high rise buildings, as you can see them in
Downtown Vancouver, BC....But there is really an
endless application and variety of use for concrete.

When it comes to pouring concrete on a regular basis,
you can forget about steady hours, like 9-5 but
rather be ready to get out to any job site in your
city receiving a call letting you know the time,
and place of the pour, and of course one have never
an idea when, or where the day might end.

Some people can't get used to these kind of
working hours, but cement finishers, stamped
concrete contractors like getting well paid for
the hard work they do daily, and don't mind working
the "weird" hours either.

bad weather, but I would not attempt

Vancouver Area Stamped Concrete Contractors

Vancouver Area Stamped Concrete Contractors

The lower mainland area has been a great place
for concrete contractors. The small Canadian city
Vancouver has became a globally known place
of natural beauty, and a residing place for the
Canadian upper class, who seem to like the best
like high quality decorative stamped concrete
designs.

Thanks to developers, investors, and of course
the hardworking concrete contractors of the
greater Vancouver area, the last 25 years has
brought a  big change to this city in size.
Not only our city, but the local economy also
has benefited from it tremendously.

Each one of the condominium apartments requires
a solid basement for storage, parking areas, strong
columns, and walls to support all the weight
above and they're made of concrete. The high rise
buildings are obviously made of steel reinforced
concrete and the high standards of today’s seismic
standards in mind .

Nova days the building contractors have to take
care of the sidewalks, and curbs front of the
property of the new building which adding more
work to the concrete contractors “repertoire”.

In Vancouver today there are large number of
highly trained, and qualified stamped concrete
contractors to take care of our cities needs for
building development, and also repairs, and restoration.

There is a large number of concrete contractors directly
involved in  the tremendous growth of Vancouver BC.
For the last 25 years this city has gone through a real
face lift.

The number of new buildings are literary in the thousands.
Vancouver is one of the worlds most beautiful cities, and
the richest province in Canada. No wonder that Canadians
and foreigners from around the world want to move here.

Because of all this Stamped Concrete  contractors in Vancouver
are keeping very busy for the past two decades, and we are
not complaining.

As Tradesmen we are happy to have such abundance of
work going around giving us the feeling of long term job
security.

As a concrete contractor I have noticed a degree of slowing
since the global economy’s slump, and I can positively say
that it has an effect on consumer confidence....but on the
other hand it also created opportunities for the "bargain hunter"
who now is being able to find great deals when it comes to
finding contractors and competitive prizes.

Stamped Concrete: Farewell to Vancouver Winter

Stamped Concrete: Farewell to Vancouver Winter

It's sure has been a long and grey winter in Vancouver, BC
which slowing us down placing, and finishing concrete.

We do go through this every year mainly because of our
geological location, we get hammered by rain all winter long.
It is a well known fact that you can't finish concrete in
pouring rain.

Never the last, stamped concrete contractors live true it.

This past winter has been difficult because when it wasn't
raining we've had freezing temperatures omitting us from
being able to work, so we just had to sit it out.

It is the end of March now, and most of us picked up part
time work with other local contractors to give boost to our
income for the slow season. We are working on high rise
buildings where the concrete pours are on regardless of the
falling rain, and as the weather is improving, so is our
chance for being able to complete more of our residential
concrete work under sunny skies.
