Improve your Home’s Curb Appeal with Spring Concrete Repairs
As spring arrives, the damaging effects of winter snow and ice, and de-icing chemicals to your home’s exterior concrete becomes apparent.
Months of fluctuating winter temperatures can create freezing and thawing cycles that cause concrete surfaces to fracture and scale (flake). As ice melts, water can also flow through cracks in concrete and saturate the base material. As the water freezes the slab can lift and fall, causing the cracks to widen.
With a little “know-how” and the proper QUIKRETE® repair materials, your home’s curb appeal can be restored. Worn, cracked and scaling concrete sidewalks, driveways and patios can often be repaired and returned to “like new” condition. (Read More)

On the Job: Project Profiles
BLVD Residences
BLVD is a mixed use development located in Dallas, TX. The project includes 417 residential units and ground level retail store fronts.
More than 120,000 square feet of QUIKRETE® Base Coat Stucco - Pump Grade was spray applied in a 3-coat (3/4”) wall system. Trinity Drywall & Plastering Systems utilized 3,000 lb bulk bags of the fiber-reinforced base coat along with a QUIKRETE® Mason Mix, auger-driven silo, to consistently feed the pump. The pre-blended material also reduced the space required for the mixing station.
The BLVD building is certifi ed as a green facility. LEED points were earned by eliminating paper bag disposal and QUIKRETE®’s proximity to the project. (Read More)
