RV Slabs in Phoenix, AZ
Arizona is known for the many snow birds and travelers that come throughout the state. When people make their travel down to valley, many also bring along their RV's to explore around the different sites. In between their travels, RV's are left to sit and get dirty on the side of their home. With an RV slab it will keep the RV clean with no more dirt to sit in. The slab will also create easy access to and from the backyard. People that also travel by toy haulers can also store their trailers on the side of their home using a RV slab. When not traveling, the slab can make it easy to get up and go on a spontaneous camping trip having your camper on the side of your home. If you are interested in having a RV slab installed by Monroy Construction, call us today at 602-850-5114 or email us at estimates@monroyconstruction.com!

Extended/additional Driveways in Litchfield Az
Today we poured an additional driveway on a home to a satisfied customer. They owned multiple cars and did not have the space to park them all. They had to use the street in front of their home leaving little space for their neighbors and guests. Many HOA's do not allow cars to be parked on the street for more than 2-3 days. With this problem, the customer decided to have Monroy Construction come out to pour new concrete for more space. The new concrete allows the homeowner to park their multiple cars on the side of their home and still leave space on the street for neighbors or any guest to park. The new driveway not only adds space but adds accessibility to the backyard without walking in rocks and dirt. With the finished work, the customers and neighbors are happy! If you are interested in having concrete poured, call us today at 602-850-5114 or email us at estimates@monroyconstruction.com.

Cleaning Concrete Surfaces
Tired of pulling up to a stained driveway? Well here is a way to clean your concrete! Who would've guessed your everyday Ultra Dawn Dish soap, full strength scrub could be used for more than washing dishes? Well, if you pour the dish soap on the the effected area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse it thoroughly it should come out. If this doesn't do it, make a poultice of Dawn (full strength) and either ordinary Talc or Fullers Earth to about the consistency of wet toothpaste. Then spread it on the oil stained area and cover it with plastic overnight. Next day, scrub it good and rinse thoroughly and your concrete should be good to go! These are just two helpful tips to get the stains out of your concrete. If you would prefer having a professional come out to your home and clean it, then finding a nearby pressure washing company will also help get those stains out of your concrete!

Concrete Driveway in Waddell, AZ
The homes in Waddell, AZ for the most part are sitting on
over an acre of land. This causes great
expense to the homeowner when installing driveways and hardscapes. One suggestion that we make to those
customers that may be on a tighter budget than others is to not try to complete
your entire project at once. For
example, if a customer has a concrete driveway in Waddell, AZ that measures out
to be several thousand square feet, that driveway can be poured in sections at
different times throughout the year. Most companies (including ours) have a job
minimum, so each time you pour concrete you want to make sure you pour the
amount of concrete that at least equals the job minimum charge. For example if a company has a job minimum charge
of $1600 and they charge $4.00sf for concrete, make sure you pour at least
400sf when you have the concrete installed.
The equation looks like this 400sf x $4.00 = $1600.00 (the job minimum
charge). It makes much more sense than
installing less square footage. Here is
the equation for 300sf of concrete installation for those that may not grasp
the idea of a job minimum charge. 300sf
x $4.00sf = $1,200, however the customer will have to pay the $1600 (the job
minimum charge) instead of the $1,200.
This is why it is important to maximize the amount you install if you
intend on installing your concrete in sections instead of all at once. If you would like to have a concrete driveway
in Waddell, AZ installed by a licensed and bonded contractor please contact us at estimates@monroyconstruction.com
