WHY DOES CONCRETE CRACK — AND WHICH CRACKS ARE NORMAL?” Do you know why concrete cracks, even when it’s done properly? The simple answer is shrinkage. As concrete cures, water evaporates and the slab naturally pulls inward. That tension creates small cracks — and that’s completely normal. Hairline cracks, especially inside control joints, are expected. They don’t affect strength, and every experienced contractor knows they’re part of how concrete behaves. What isn’t normal are wide cracks, uneve

DO YOU REALLY NEED TO SEAL YOUR CONCRETE EVERY YEAR? A lot of homeowners think concrete needs to be sealed annually — but that’s not true. A good-quality sealer usually lasts two to five years, depending on the weather, traffic, and the type of sealer you use. So no, you don’t need to seal every year… but sealing does make a big difference. A proper sealer protects your concrete from moisture, salt, oil stains, and Alberta’s harsh freeze–thaw cycles. When water stops beading on the surface, that

THE BEAUTY OF A BROOM FINISH Ever wonder why most concrete isn’t left smooth? It’s not just about looks — it’s about safety and durability. A broom finish adds fine texture to the surface, giving your shoes and tires the traction they need, especially when things get wet or icy. Right after the concrete is floated, the finisher drags a broom lightly across the surface — a simple step that requires perfect timing. Too early, and it ruins the surface. Too late, and the texture won’t set right. Tha

If you’ve used screws for forming/cribbing and have had concrete fill their heads, you know the pain in the 🍑 they can be. Covering the screws with tape is the most common practice but I figured I’d give grease a try as it’d be a bit quicker. Besides it being a little messy, I’d say it was a win. (And yeah, one of my helpers over drove the screws a bit but being that the slab will be near the top of the wall, the minor indents will not be seen or cause any problems.) . . . . . . #tradesmen #car

Early in my career, me and my crew were keen to expose concrete as fast as possible with sledge hammers and wrecking bars. Only then to have to sort through a tangled mess of nail ridden lumber and forms which was slow, annoying and far more prone to injury.. In my later, “wiser” years, I began to implement far more strategy. This meant concrete wasn’t exposed as fast, but at the end of the day, we were far more organized, had fewer minor injuries and actually enjoyed the process and were finish
