I'm showing you how to use Rapid Set's Concrete Mix to repair this broken concrete patio deck.

We repaired this damaged concrete entry patio and wheelchair ramp in one day and re-opened it for use the next day.

This is so lovely - we have a well done, but very aged 30 year old driveway. Cost to demo and replace are in excess of $30k. Just totally unaffordable for the average person. Appreciate seeing repair work!
-
This is what quality work looks like from someone who knows concrete and its proper application. Many local "concrete" guys slap anything down, with no prep and nmo understanding of how it works leading to wasted time and money. Great work!!!
-
Mike — thank you. I am becoming obsessed with concrete. Thank you for feeding my obsession.
-
Nice to see someone's not refusing smaller work. I hope they remember this when it does get redone

I've never used the quick set concrete before. I normally use a topping sand mix. I've had better luck wetting the old place first. Some places I clean with muriatic acid first. My hardest repairs is fault lines. It'll keep cracking. I run a diamond saw through the repair where the expansion joint normally falls, but was never cut. I use a vinyl mix to top older work in good shape to give it that new look. It wears off after a few years. I try to avoid salt on icy sidewalks. That's what eats them up the worst even though many salts claim it doesn't attract concrete. I think they all do.

Wow... Looks awesome for not replacing the whole thing. Great bang for the buck... Great value for the owner. I had super low expectations for this one, but it turned out great.
