Any outdoor renovation, from patios to driveways, is going to be an investment of funds; there’s no way around it. However, how much of an investment of funds a project will be does indeed vary. Some materials, of course, are more affordable in the short and long term—and this is where concrete truly shines. We’re a local concrete company. We’d know!

If you’re looking for money-savvy project material, look no further. Below, Creative Concrete, a New Brighton team of residential concrete contractors, discusses what makes this unique concoction such an economic stand-out.

This even applies to stamped concrete and decorative concrete! Installation, while still complicated enough to warrant professional service, is straightforward compared to that of pavers and other similar underfoot materials. Pouring is a much more efficient way of covering space than laying a structure brick by brick!

From concrete patios to concrete pool decks, this ease of installation means that concrete, up-front, is often the most affordable option when all is said and done.

When installed correctly and properly cared for, concrete is tough, no questions asked. Reinforcement procedures minimize the appearance of cracks and keeps them small and manageable, lending strength and durability to your concrete structure.

This means that you can very easily reduce your repair and replacement costs over the course of your concrete’s lifespan; simply select a realistic local concrete company that understands what needs to be done to strengthen and prolong the lifespan of their work.

Apart from resealing every few years—a process that’s incredibly affordable—your concrete is pretty low fuss. You won’t need to periodically replace parts of it like you would with a wooden structure, and it’s incredibly stain-resistant. Not only does this save you stress, but it also means it’s not much out of your pocket in terms of care, and when your concrete does need maintenance, it’s usually on a predictable schedule.

Concrete is affordable, sure, but that never means you should sacrifice on a great installation job. If you want to maintain the integrity of your structure and thus keep it affordable, it’s essential!

That’s why we’re here to help. From patios to pool decks, Creative Concrete executes each project given with skill, ingenuity, and innovation. Give our New Brighton office a call today at 612-414-7932 and let’s get started on making the home exterior of your dreams.
