Mixes and Past Jobs

Our Mixes

At S & N concrete we  provide our customers with the highest grade and quality of concrete as opposed to just a basic mix.  Our high performance mix may cost a bit more per square foot initially than a basic mix, but in the long run it could save you the expense and headaches of repairing cracks and other problems caused by an inadequate mix design. Keep in mind that your driveway will be subject to vehicle traffic, freeze/thaw conditions, and possibly deicing chemicals and salts. You'll need a durable, low-permeability mix to withstand these conditions.



  • A compressive strength of at least 4000 psi.
  • An air content of around 6%. In cold climates, air entrainment (which involves adding an air-entraining admixture to fresh concrete at the we batch plant to cause the development of microscopic air bubbles) allows any moisture that does enter the concrete to expand in the air pockets during a freeze-thaw cycle instead of putting internal pressure on the concrete 
  • A water-cement ratio below 0.50, to improve concrete durability and strength (see Use a Low Water to Cement Ratio

Our Most Recent Projects

Reinforcement & Excavation

Reinforcement

At S & N Concrete our goal is to complete the highest quality workmanships known for our customers and Isolating that secret from our competitors. Ask upon estimate.

Excavation

For every project comes a different square footage of excavation needed. This calls for a variety of methods. Depending on the site and size we will use anything from a pic axe, shovel, rake and wheel barrel to a full size back hoe!

 


Haulage

We make the most cost effective decisions for our customers at the most affordable price. We offer rent a bins and same day dump truck haulage upon excavation! We take the stress out of prepping your project and most importantly it is done right the first time and built to last Canada's ever changing weather for years and years to come!

Our Finished Product Vs Competitors

Installing a concrete drive way, patio, pool deck or project of your choice depending on the size usually comes with a significant price tag! However not with us we provide our customers with quality at an affordable price.

So one of our frequently asked questions why S & N concrete over our competitors? Simple our finishers are unionized certified cement finishers free lancing into this competitive market. Serving in the commercial, industrial and residential field for countless decades assures you as a happy customer and us as a happy company!

With experience or practice like anything you get the most for your dollar. My number one complaint that I have had past customers address to me on behalf of our competitors is the job was conducted poorly. So I went on my way to see what they were extremely unhappy about!

Improper mixes, old concrete by only a few hours from the plant resulted in a poor finish. Almost as if it was depleting from buckets of acid and salt on the driveway. Flaking and chipping of the concrete also was apparent from this. Numerous cracks due to lack of reenforcement. The truth is there are guys that are one day companies.

Cracked Concrete Driveway due to lack of reenforcement and  diamond saw cut design for drainage.

Re parching a pool deck due to poor sealing, cement mix, old concrete.

Poor concrete sealing result.


They come to your house that day the job is done remarkably appearing to look magnificent. But often more then enough we are called to fix these problems and provide our customers with solutions. Time is the key to show workmanship. A true proper pour should with stand 25 years.  It also should retain its color, finish and quality year after year season after season. 

Often what goes with this saying is you get what you pay for! However we believe in providing Waterloo's Region with the highest up to date technology, trends, workmanship at an affordable price with out the head aches.
