The team at Maple Ridge Concrete Contractors want to change how you see concrete and show you the versatility that it has for projects. Concrete can be manipulated to become many different colours, shades, shapes, and is actually able to mimic other building materials. When concrete is used in a way to add an aesthetic enhancement (while still serving its main function as a building material) it is referred to as decorative concrete. We are able to manipulate concrete in way to make a concrete patio to look like wood as well as making concrete look like other types of stone materials without the drawbacks and costs. |

Concrete StairsConcrete stairs for the most part, last for a long time if made properly the first time around. If however, it is built in a high traffic area you'll want to have them taken a look at every year or so to ensure they are still in good shape. Liability issues can come up if stairs are not installed or maintained properly. We always recommend installing concrete stairs for residential set ups as they are built to last with minimal maintenance work. Materials such as wood are organic and always run the risk of rotting and splintering (think of your poor feet!). We can also design your stairs to match the concrete of a patio or driveway to ensure a smooth transition.
