Absolutely.  And properly.  Proper disposal of concrete debris is essential for environmental, safety, and legal reasons. At Liftech, we dispose of the debris properly, ensuring that it does not harm the environment, pose a risk to public health, and to Colorado’s legal requirements.  Learn more about Liftech’s concrete removal and replacement process.

Liftech generally recommendeds a thickness of 4 to 6 inches for a walkway slab. We’ll carefully counsil you on the appropriate concrete thickness to offer ample strength and durability, enabling it to withstand the demands of pedestrian traffic and Colorado’s vast outdoor conditions.

Liftech project managers are experts in:

• The concrete’s load-bearing capacity
• Colorado’s soil conditions
• Colorado’s hash weather conditions
• Colorado’s building codes

The most inflenctial cost factors in new concrete:

1. Amount of Concrete: The quantity of concrete needed depends on the width and length of your walkway. Calculate the square footage by multiplying the length by the width. Then, multiply the square footage by the price per square foot to estimate the concrete cost.  A project manager can tell you our current price per sqare foot in their free estimate & then factor in all remaining factors (below).
2. Shape of Walkway: Straight edges are generally easier and less costly to form compared to curved edges. Consider the shape of your walkway as it can affect the labor and materials required, potentially impacting the overall cost.
3. Prep Work: The amount of preparation work required is an important factor. If your area is uneven and needs grading or leveling, the cost of the project may increase due to additional materials and labor.
4. Design Complexity: The complexity of the design you choose also influences the cost. Incorporating multiple colors, intricate patterns, borders, or bands will typically result in higher expenses.
5. Decorative Finish: The type of decorative finish you opt for will impact the cost as well. A rock salt or broom finish tends to be more affordable, while techniques like stamping and engraving are generally more expensive due to the specialized materials and labor involved.

 

 

 

Both exterior and interior French drains provide effective protection against flooding and water damage in your basement. Yet, due to the costs and difficulty of installing and servicing an exterior drain on existing houses, it’s usually better to install interior drains.  There are several factors to consider, so consult with a Liftech experienced professional for best measures.
