New Concrete Sidewalk Entrance to Business - Portland, OR

This business owner was eager to have a concrete sidewalk placed on the side entrance to their building before the rainy season began. After researching, to make sure they selected the best company for the job, they decided they would hire John's because of the highly positive reviews they read online. They called us, letting us know that they wanted this work completed ASAP. We quickly sent out our Design Specialist to the building, to take measurements and provide a free quote. The business owners were pleased with the professionalism and expertise of our Design Specialist, as well as the reasonable quote, and they asked us how quickly we could start the job. We let them know that we would start and finish the job before the rains came, as they requested. The day we were scheduled to complete the work, the forecast showed rain in the late afternoon. Knowing this, we brought along the materials we would need to protect the freshly poured slab from the rain. Early that morning, our concrete crew arrived and got straight to work. First, we built the wooden concrete frame, laid down concrete dobies for extra support, and placed the rebar. Next, we poured the concrete into the frame, and gave it a nice broom finish. We knew rain was coming later that day, so we built a rain cover out of PVC pipe and plastic tarping, protecting the newly finished sidewalk from the rain. We made sure the cover was tight and completely sealed - providing an excellent defense against the imminent weather. After the concrete was completely solidified, we removed the rain cover, revealing a beautifully finished new concrete sidewalk entrance to the side of this building. This business owner is thrilled to have a concrete side entrance to their building, so that both themselves and their employees can safely enter from now on without tracking in so much mud and wetness.
