Deck is over concrete walkout patio. One corner of deck has sunk 2 to 3 inches.
The wood posts (2) are surrounded by the patio concrete and need replacing due to rot. Concrete has also sunk by about 2 to 3 inches and needs lifting or the gap filled.
I would like someone to determine and perform the correct fix for the post replacements. I don't know what type of pile is under the posts because they are covered by the concrete patio. The patio appears to have been poured around the wood posts. The work would probably involve coordinating with a mudjacking company.
I have other potential landscaping type work to be done depending on price but the deck is my priority.
Hello. I live in a condo that is over 40 years old. The drain hole cover (cast iron) on my unfinished concrete basement floor is 5 and 7/8 inches in diameter and is probably 40 years old as well. It was rusted when I bought the place and I sanded and repainted it 3 years ago. It is starting to rust up again quite badly and is an eyesore (see picture). I have tried to look for replacements in this size (perferably made of plastic instead of cast iron) but have not been able to find anything. The ones I did find come from the States. Pricing was good but shipping costs are ridiculous.
Anyways, I thought about having a professional enlarge the hole so it can accommodate a standard 6 inch or 6 1/2 inch hole cover which are much easier (and cheaper) to find.
If you are able to do this project, please let me know and provide costs involved if possible. Thank you.
Need to have existing roman paver patio and sidewalk removed and then replaced with a dark grey exposed concrete patio and side walk (side and back yard). Need the roman pavers that were moved recycled and re-installed beside front driveway (front of house). Would also need a cedar pergola constructed and installed (near new patio). Would like to explore the installation of exposed concrete curbs installed around existing flower beds. Depending on $$$ would like conrete planters made as well near to sidewalk and patio. Would need to work around existing fence/grass etc. Work would start ASAP/weather permitting

Interior - drywall and insulate
Stairs up to 10 x 12 storage floor - 7 ft up

We have a double car garage which needs sprusing up. It is not broken severly but has hairline cracks. However the car apron in front of the garage is broken and needs a strong resurfacing. The garage is 21x22 and the apron is 21x27. We do not want to rip the apron but a strong coating of some material would do.
I am looking to complete the garage on my new house before I move in. I would like to get the floor done with a resin coating (minor crack repair req'd), finish the drywall (currently about 25% complete), and add fluorescent lighting. The garage pad measures 20' x 17'8". Currently only the front wall is drywalled, and the ceiling is about 1/2 complete.
Thanks!
just wanted someone to install us a garage pad before winter. We got the money for it and we don't want to finance. The reason why we just need a garage pad is because we can shovel it better. and for sure in the future we will use the same company to finish the garage. hoping to get a quote for it. looking to make a deal quickly.

I have a small approx. 560 sq. feet backyard that needs to be hardscaped (looks like the moon right now) I want basic 2 x 2 square patio slabs with side gravel or rock plus an 8 x 8 north end trellis to grown clematis or ? on to hide neighbors sheds. Will use it as an outdoor wedding ceremony area.
I'm looking for someone to help my mom re-do the walkway up to her NW Calgary home. The walkway is about 50 feet from the main sidewalk up to her door. The lawn is slightly sloped. I'm hoping for no stairs and possibly a railing to help my mom (who is getting older so having a hard time with stairs and needs support), but open to other ideas. I'd really love if she can get this done before the winter freeze since the existing old walkway is especially hazardous for her in the winter.
I have a hot tub on a concrete pad, but it seems like it's leaning a bit. I have four concrete pillars drilled down to the permafrost layer to support the pad just to counteract any sinkage, but it seems to be leaning a little bit still. Looking for a contractor to shim up the hot tub or level the pad out for me. I don't want to bust up my concrete pad. Looking to get it done ASAP.
Thanks.
I have a spiral stair case that I would like to replace the carpet with concrete. The carpet has been removed and each step is already a pan so all I need is concrete to be poured and given a smooth polished finish. (Each step needs about 10 pounds of concrete and there are 12 steps total.)
I laid concrete in 2 of the steps only half way [they are an inch deep] but I am worried I will mess it up so I have decided to contract out. I have done the prep work already and have plastic laid out.
We need some specialty concrete work done at a property in Inglewood. Large patio and steps as well as some perimeter work. Patio and steps will require a rough finish with staining and acid treatment finished to give a natural sandstone look and feel. If your company is experienced in this type of work and finishes and interested please get back to me.

We have an 18th floor, 900 sq ft condo (built in 2005) in a downtown high-rise. The unit has bare concrete slabs that we plan to finish with a floating engineered product. The not so unusual situation we have encountered is that the slab isn't level...but the problem isn't so much low spots as about a dozen or so high spots (about 3/8 inch higher than surrounding areas) throughout the unit that correspond to a gridded pattern of markings on the slab. The best explanation we have for these high spots is they are filled control/inspection holes in the slab that were used during the construction of the building. We have received all manner of advice on how to level the floor...from self-leveling compounds, to using a diamond grinder to bring down the high spots, to gluing down a level plywood sub-floor on the slab. If the marked circles actually indicate filled control/inspection holes in the slab, grinding them down would require condo board approval and verification that doing so wouldn't impact the structural integrity of the slab. Building a sub-floor could also work...but would require a good deal of effort and finesse to actually get it flat.
Using one of the self-leveling compounds looks to me like the RIGHT solution, but would effectively require bring the entire 900 sq feet up 3/8" to the level of the high spots. The condo is a very open plan design: effectively, an open kitchen/living/office area, a bedroom and a bath, and a long hallway. Not planning to level the bath at this point (will bring the floor level to the rest of the condo when we tackle the bathroom reno). Ideally, the project would be split over a couple of days by moving furniture into one half of the condo and doing the pour/leveling, letting it dry, then moving furniture to the leveled side of the condo and doing the remaining pouring/leveling. Kitchen cabinets would be removed (they're also being replaced), so there would be nothing on the slab.
Homeowners are very hands-on DIYers, but are reluctant to tackle the job themselves given that they've never worked with the product, and the area to be leveled is quite large. Looking for a contractor with experience using self-leveling compound in a high-rise condo (references and/or photos from similar jobs would be great) to do a site visit and provide a quote. Alternatively, if there's and easier way to get the slab properly prepared for the engineered floor, we're all ears.

Our old driveway cement has already been removed, although I haven't (yet?) cleared excess dirt, etc. from the area for the new driveway, and haven't done anything in terms of form-work or laying the base. It will likely be double-wide (24' x 20') at the bottom of the driveway, and single-wide at the top (12' x 25'). Our initial thoughts are for a simple concrete driveway, but would be willing to consider something more, depending on the extra cost. I'm fairly certain there are no utilities in the area, so there shouldn't be any complications on that side of things.

24' x 24' concrete parking pad in the back of our semi-detached house (Likely 3.5" slab with 5-6% air with a broomed finish laid on a 1-2' spaced 1/2" rebar mat on top of a 4-6" of 1" gravel - unless you think differently!). Our neighbours already have a parking pad (picture included for reference).
The concrete steps at the front of the house have been repainted by the previous owner but the concrete is starting to crumble. I have not seen any cracks or serious damage to the stairs, this is mostly cosmetic work. I want to refinish the steps but I think something should be done with the concrete to repair the crumbling. Again, I do NOT want to spend a lot of money on repairing the steps because I am renting this house and the owner will not reimburse me for the work.
