Do not use salt, halite, or any salt/sodium-based compound on concrete. For ice: sand may be used for friction to prevent slipping.

Do not use any acid-based cleaners on concrete. Concrete may be cleaned with a mild soap mixed with water.

Concrete needs to be sealed once a year, preferable in the Spring. The recommended sealer to use is Sonneborn 30 Sealer for High Gloss, and Sonneborn Sealer for Normal Gloss. This may be obtained from either Tucker Supply in Cuyahoga Falls, OH (330) 928-2155 or Lakewood Supply in Cleveland, OH (216) 251-5620. If you would prefer, we will reseal concrete; cost is based upon the square foot area. Please call the office at (330) 656-2220 if you would like us to do the sealing.

Weather conditions may cause normal cracking and/or spaulding of the concrete due to the contraction and expansion based on temperature. While preventative measures are taken to help minimize cracking and/or spaulding, it cannot be completely prevented since this is a normal chemical reaction of concrete.

5.

Any/all cracks must be sealed prior to the first frost. Water will expand when frozen, causing concrete to shift. Sealing the affected areas will help prevent this from occurring.

Sealing minimizes color fading due to weather and sun exposure. Slight color fading will occasionally occur over a period of time.
