A Pavement Replacement Delray Beach Nightmare

Recently, an unknown electrical wire in the ground of my front yard turned my pavement replacement project into an absolute nightmare.

Pavement Replacement Was Needed to Fix My Sidewalk

It was time to fix my sidewalk. Like many other Delray Beach homeowners, I had thought about addressing the project for quite some time before deciding to take care of it. So I began the process. I did my research. I talked to neighbors, close friends and family members in the area about pavement companies they had experience with in Delray Beach and found a wonderful contractor to do the job. The company sent a guy out to do the estimate and left me with a written quote and a start date for them to come in and fix my sidewalk. I had a really good feeling about the project.

The Job Begins

A couple of weeks later, after I had talked everything through with my wife, the company came in to start the project. Everything went well for the first couple of days as they began demolishing and removing my old, chipped and stained sidewalk. On the third day, the nightmare began.

The foreman of the pavement replacement Delray Beach team I had chosen came to my front door early on the third morning that they had been there and had a pretty bad look on his face. He calmly explained to me that they ran into something very unusual in South Florida: an underground wire. At this point, they had to begin figuring out where the wire came from and if it carried a charge. Thankfully, it did not. They began removing it. This required ripping up nearly half of my lawn! I allowed them to do so.

The Wire

It had nothing to do with the company I chose to do the work. This unknown wire, but it did have something to do with them having to do all sorts of extra work that I ended up paying for. They were kind about it and cut me a break on their extra labor, because they felt bad. Fortunately, the wire was removed safely and my sidewalk got finished. It looks really great. I’m happy with the work that the company did. I just wish that weird wire weren’t there! We still have no idea why it was there or where it came from. All the pavement guys tell me the experience was a first for them. Just my luck!

Patio Repair Transforms Delray Beach Poolside

I recently researched patio repair Delray Beach has to offer in order to find a top-notch company to come in and upgrade my poolside area. I was pleasantly surprised with the results!

South Florida Pools Are Underrated

As a lifelong South Florida resident, I am always amazed at how many homeowners I know who have pools, but simply do not use them. Ever. It’s terrible! We live in the nicest and most tropical environment that the good, ole U. S. of A. has to offer, and yet nobody uses their pools on a regular basis. I’ve thought about this for some time, and I can’t deny that I was part of the anti-pool using posse.

I own a home in Delray Beach that has a fantastic in-ground pool in the backyard. I’ve owned my home for over 20 years and the pool has always been there. In the beginning, my family and I used the pool quite a bit; however, as the years passed, it became neglected. This is in part of a few natural occurrences, such as the kids getting older and my wife and I falling out of shape gradually, of course, but I began to hate the fact that the pool never got used! I recently decided to give myself and my family some benefit to using the patio and poolside more often.

Time for an Upgrade

As I said earlier, I’ve had a pool in the backyard patio area of my home for over 20 years. Until I recently sought out patio repair Delray Beach has to offer, my poolside had never been renovated or remodeled. It was looking pretty 90’s, if you know what I mean. My poolside patio area was most definitely in need of a major makeover.

The company that I chose to do the work to my patio was fantastic. They offered me every option in the world and worked with my Wife and I step-by-step in our lengthy decision-making process. We chose to go with some very affordable masonry work for the patio area. The results are absolutely amazing. The company even applied a coat of grip-enhancing sealer to the stonework so that my family and our guests are always safe from slip and fall accidents around the often-wet poolside.

To anyone who owns a home and has a pool, but does not use it, I implore you to look into patio repair Delray Beach has to offer to get your poolside an upgrade and enjoy the South Florida weather once again!
