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 or visit us at www.monroyconstruction.com.

Exposed Concrete Ribbons Pool Decking



Above is a picture of a pool deck that we installed with exposed concrete ribbons.  This is a great way to break up the monotonous look of a large kool decked area.  The ribbons were done in a colored concrete with an exposed finish, then sealed at a later date with a clear coat to accentuate the color.
