Broomed concrete

Basic broomed concrete driveways, patios, sidewalks, pools, wheelchair access ramps — it’s everywhere you look! Because it’s so common, you might take traditional broomed concrete for granted. But due to wintertime freeze-thaw cycles in Northern KY, broomed concrete erodes just as quickly as it does in other parts of the Midwest. (Is your concrete on a southern exposure? South-facing hill slopes thaw and refreeze even more frequently.)

And concrete repairs can be costly and short-lived. But even in Northern KY, concrete can last for decades if prepared, reinforced, mixed, poured, finished and cared for properly.

The caring-for part is the homeowner’s job. It’s pretty simple, but not everyone does it. Using these pointers consistently, you can extend the life of your concrete.

Caring for concrete

  • Fix drainage issues to keep water from ponding on broomed concrete surfaces
  • Never use metal tools to chip ice off a concrete driveway or sidewalk
  • Use sand instead of salt to de-ice and improve traction
  • Clear snow with a plastic shovel or push broom
  • Clean up spills quickly using a concrete-safe cleaner
  • Clean and reseal your concrete every year or two — this will minimize moisture infiltration and help your concrete resist staining
  • Use high-grade acrylic concrete sealers that bond to existing and future sealer coats

Even when you do everything right, time and the elements can still damage your concrete badly enough that it needs to be replaced. When you’re beyond the point of concrete repair, a professional concrete service provider like Dugan Concrete will demolish and remove your old concrete before setting rebar (steel reinforcements), and then pouring and broom-finishing your beautiful new concrete.

Upgrading from broomed concrete

To improve curb appeal, some homeowners choose decorative stamped concrete. With many texture, pattern and color options, stamped concrete beautifies your home’s exterior with a lower price-tag than stone, pavers or brick.

Tom and crew replaced my 1940s house concrete steps and walkway. End result looks good.

I hired Tom for the third time. Had him replace a wood deck with a stamped patio. As usual, he and his crew did an amazing job. They always go above and beyond. They treated our property like it was their own. They put down boards so they didn’t tear up the yard. They swept up dust after every scoop of gravel. They washed down the street after they were done. They washed our deck off after they were done. They don’t do it fast. They do it right. I didn’t get other estimates as I don’t want the cheapest. I want the best.

Very pleased with Tom and his team; they show up on time, communicate often as the job progresses and work long hours to insure job is done correctly and in a timely manner. I have used them before and would call him again.

Tom came out a week ago to measure our space to give me a quote. He was very thorough and seemed extremely reliable. It was a Saturday and he told me he would have us a quote by Monday or Tuesday. We did not receive a quote by Thursday, so I sent a follow up email and did not receive a response. I sent another follow up email on Sunday and I was ghosted again. I had a lot of confidence in Tom, but I told him this was my last chance and he didn’t follow through with a quote.

Fantastic work!!! We are so pleased with the work. Tom and his team removed a front tree, all of the landscaping, supported our porch, poured a new walkway and leveled our whole front yard. Tom and his crew were so polite and cleaned everything up after they were done. Would hire them again!!!

Tom is out here crushing it! He did our driveway, retaining wall, walkway, steps and also redirected a downspout. To say I was satisfied with his work would be an understatement! Tom was cordial from the very beginning and was just an absolute pleasure to work with. His prices are very fair and he and his crew did fantastic work. I 100% recommend Tom and will look to use him again for any type of concrete work if necessary. Thanks Tom!

Tom Dugan is professional when it comes to concrete. From the time you meet him you will know what an incredibly nice guy he is. We hired Dugan Concrete to install a new driveway. The old one had several large cracks and had buckled. We watched Tom and his crew work and they are the highest professional grade as well. They took extra care to protect the brickwork around our garage from concrete splatters. The layout of reinforcing steel rebar was a work of art. Tom worked alongside his crew, directing them. They did everything right. They cut no corners. I can honestly say I've never seen a finer concrete job than what Tom did. The expansion joints were perfect! Tom gave us a very competitive bid on the job. They started within the timeframe Tom gave us and they had the job completed in two days, with some follow up. Tom sealed the concrete and replaced the sod they had to move for the pour so perfectly, you would have a hard time telling undisturbed lawn from the sod they had to move...perfect fit. I can't say enough about the quality of workmanship. If you need concrete work done, Tom Dugan is the best in the business.

Tom and his crew cleaned and sealed our driveway, porch, sidewalk, and even the back patio pad. They worked efficiently and most importantly, thoroughly. They did an amazing job! They were very conscientious and hit every single spot. They were prompt, communicated well, and were great to work with. I would definitely recommend them.

Had Tom and his crew lay a 3'x6'pad for garbage cans, put a 10'x14' addition to our patio. Tom also buried our sump pump pipe eliminating a mudding mess. This was the second project we have used Tom and his crew manage for us. We have been very pleased after both jobs completion.

Tom and his crew were on time every day. They were very reasonable in price and kept everything very tidy each day they left. They ripped out an old basement access and put in a new set of stairs with a retaining wall. He asked clarifying questions to make sure the work was done to our satisfaction. This was done before and throughout the entire process of demo and installation. We would definitely use them again and recommend Dugan Concrete to anyone else.

Tom installed a beautiful stamped concrete patio for us around 15 years ago. However, we didn't keep up with cleaning and sealing as recommend over the years (that's on us). He came back 3 years ago and restored it to it's original beauty if not more so. As recommended, we had it cleaned and resealed earlier this year. There was a glitch with some of the seal. But he, true to his word, backs up everything he does. He returned and went over everything... it's absolutely stunning and the envy of the neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Dugan Concrete has done outstanding work for us on two occasions now. He and his crew poured a very extensive driveway and front porch a few years back. Recently he added a patio to the back of our home, from one end to the other. I love the steps. Part of that work was colored and stamped for our upcoming all season room. The pictures do not do the work justice. The crew is fabulous and professional.

Recently hired Tom to install a gravel driveway at my house. It is very clear when working with Tom that he takes great pride in his work and customer satisfaction. His prices are more than fair and communication throughout the process was outstanding. I would definitely hire Tom again in the future.
