Todd Kartchner Construction

In anticipation of spring, many homeowners look for ways to spruce up their homes and bring more curb appeal. Don't let unsightly cracked and titled concrete keep you away from having the yard of your dreams. If your concrete driveway or basement is tilting, cracking, crumbling or all the above, Todd Kartchner Construction provides concrete lifting as a more cost effective alternative to replacing the concrete. They are experts in flatwork and foundation work with more than 20 years of experience.

Concrete lifting is really an innovation at its finest. Having new flatwork put in is very invasive. The concrete is torn out, new concrete is poured and leveled and it can take seven to 10 days before it's ready to be used.

"What's nice about concrete lifting is in less than a day we are in and out," says owner Todd Kartchner. "It also costs less than half of what it is when you replace the concrete and you can get on it immediately."

Todd says a lot of his work is performed on newer homes. Oftentimes, contractors only warranty the flatwork for one year although the house still hasn't finished settling. Concrete slanting and cracks can also be caused by broken sprinkler lines, poor rain gutter drainage or by settling after a particularly wet winter. After Mother Nature takes her course, homeowners don't have to be left with the aftermath.

"If the concrete is still in good shape, we can lift or level it and bring it back to level and caulk it but it's still cracked," Todd says. "Customers need to be aware of that."

"Concrete lifting is a perfect solution for basements since the important thing is that it's level. Todd says. "It's so labor intensive to tear it out and the cracks are usually covered with carpet or tile."

To make the aesthetics of the concrete more appealing, both caulking and grinding techniques can be performed to smooth the surface. But if the damage is too great or homeowners want a driveway void of cracks, Todd Kartchner Construction can perform that work as well.

Todd Kartchner Construction is both licensed and insured, giving customers peace of mind. Todd stands by his work and will provide you with the best options for your concrete needs.
