Concrete driveway extension from excavation to pour

[@jeffm7779]

Great job! I especially like the multiple compactions. I am a homeowner dealing with a sinking roadway due to inadequate compaction so that really hit home with me. Its great to see someone that obviously cares about their work.

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Honestly we don't want to have to do it twice. The right way is the best way.

[@fredmartinez4248]

That's the most complete job everyone else cuts corners that's perfection like my teacher sed you get what you pay for not what you pray for .

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

We take every step to make sure we not only meet but exceed the industry standard. We also recommend that customers never use deicing chemicals, apply penetrating sealers, and caulk joints. Usually all this adds up to a slab that should last a few decades.

[@robertboykin1828]

I m presently doing my new driveway. And I do hope it looks as fine as your's.

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Heck yeah! Everyone grinds hard to get us home safe and early.

[@cameroncox2012]

Definitely the best driveway pavement vid I’ve seen on here so far. Anybody know the name of the hand tool used to drill the existing concrete block and link the rebar together?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Thank you for watching and commenting. So the drill is the Bosch Rotary Hammer 36v. The tier is the B&N Tiger tier BNT-40X

[@jondoe2938]

show the close up of your professional finish on that expensive concrete slab.... several shots of several sections please

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

This was done 2 years ago and I have started to show close ups now.

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Thank you for your comment and support. It's surprising how very little people know the difference between both compactors. Sometimes I see people just run 1 or the other. I'm glad you enjoyed the video of it running. God knows my arms remember everytime I run it.

[@theimprovementsguy8871]

Excellent work... why no plastic between mesh and roadbase?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Never use a vapor barrier on outdoor concrete. You will just increase your chances of the concrete curling.

[@MATTP545]

Just curious ....ball park how much does a project like this cost? I am in NC or else I would call you guys. Looks like you do good work

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

I don't remember but I think these customers paid around 5k or something like that. It was a few years ago.

[@joet8432]

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Question…could the homeowner have gone straight to the road or did it have to curve into the other approach? You guys do such a thorough job. It was so impressive to see something done correctly. Bravo!

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

[@TheMomo2nd]

Wondering why concrete had no vibration to settle the air and stones? Driveway looks good

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

@TheMomo2nd Not necessary to vibrate flatwork. And thank you.

[@giorgosaxis]

Nice work but one question,you set up the job, but you dont know how to work and finish the concrete?Seems odd.

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

That is a good question. And I have met people who run concrete pours who don't know how to finish. But the men in these videos respect me because they all agree I am the most proficient finisher there. And I am willing to pay someone to take my place so I can keep my distance and quality control everything. I can't finish everything by myself so atleast I can make sure everyone else is doing everything as perfect as possible. I used to finish a lot and still help friends and family pour jobs. But on my projects when it comes to the pours I run the buggy or supervise and coordinate. But if it starts to set up fast i can and will step in to make sure it comes out great.

[@giorgosaxis]

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings Thanks for answer,you know yourself and what you can do better.Keep up the good work.

[@manuellopez504]

Nice job what is the material you use to make that curve Thanks in advance

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

It was a Poly Meta form. They are ok. I prefer using wood now.

[@jondoe2938]

hey i think the last shot of the broom finish looks like hell and all the rocks and material pulled... shouldve pulled all the pins and brushed it again the opposite way wouldve looked beautiful. last i saw in the video looked horrible.... did you leave it like that?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Correct it was rough. We hit it again and rebroomed after that shot. Then I left and forgot to reshoot the footage. Good eye catching that. Thanks for your comment and support.

[@josemartin7001]

good job guys just I recomend a crack control vertical from corner of the house to sidewalk because concrete always crack.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Do u think that bobcat could hold and dump a tub that was fabricated for the 85?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Like a mudd buggy

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

@@GRUBB-MUDD I have seen a 1/4 yard attachment for the bobcat that I want for when we are working with steps. It's like a bucket with a tiny chute that come out the bottom. I think it can handle it. It's tipping load is around 2400. So it should handle it.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Jw

[@planchik]

amazing job brother. what's a demo saw and how deep do you cut the joint the next day?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Look up a Stihl Ts500i with a diamond blade. And I just go an extra 3/8 of an inch near edges and at points that joints can cross and if it's a long enough joint (+20 feet) I will touch it a few times also. It just makes sure that it cracks where I want it to.

[@planchik]

@@jmconcretecoloradosprings great info man, thank you for the insight. can you use other saws in place of that one?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

@@planchik You can use a circular saw with a diamond blade. Don't forget to wear PPE.

[@raymonddurkin]

Is the curve near the road a requirement or preference? That grass is going to have a hard time growing when you drive over it a few hundred times. Nice work, very clean.

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

@@raymonddurkin In this case, a requirement.

[@charissacallahan5408]

How long do you keep your wood frame around the project? Do you lubricate the wood with oil to make it easy to remove?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

@@charissacallahan5408 we spray them with form release and pop them off the day after the pour.

@@weigandworks6151 Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@zoultronzoultron9723]

Nice work , do you also put sealant on?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

I recommend the customers put a penetrating sealer 5 weeks later themselves. It saves them money since it's a simple DIY step.

[@jondoe2938]

was that your dead tree you were saving for next year there? lol

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Tree got disposed of and not replanted.

[@danconley433]

Do you cure your driveway additions with plastic covering? How long?

[@jmconcretecoloradosprings]

Never, that would leave the surface mottled.we recommend regular watering for the first 7 days then We recommend a penetrating sealer 5 weeks after the pour.

Not in our city you don't. But oddly in this city (monument) you need to have a business license to pour something like this which is weird. We are literally 1 of only 2 residential concrete companies licensed in this city.
