Concrete Projects Done Right

EKB Masonry starts by excavating the soil in the area where the concrete will be poured. Some projects may require a gravel or sand base for support, while others can be poured directly onto the soil. Wooden or composite boards are used to create forms to hold in the wet concrete. Rebar, wire mesh, or fiber can be placed into the concrete to help support and reinforce the structure, though this is not always required on basic flatwork. Finally, the concrete mixture is poured and allowed to harden, or cure, to a solid finish.

Concrete may also include repair or maintenance to fix existing concrete surfaces. Over time, concrete walkways or slabs can develop chips or cracks, which are not only unsightly but also a threat to the integrity of the structure. For minor cracks, contractors inject the crack or void with special concrete epoxy, or fill it with a simple patching compound. Major repairs may require that the concrete be broken out and replaced with new concrete. Damaged surfaces may also be coated with a thin top layer of concrete to refinish the surface.

Working with our corporate partners Birken Construction and Birken Concrete, EKB Masonry is uniquely positioned to provide efficient, cost-effective construction and concrete services for large-scale commercial projects.
