Summer brings sunshine, barbeques, and... driveway repairs? While it might not be the most glamorous summer activity, scheduling driveway apron repairs during the warmer months offers several advantages. Our team recommends performing driveway apron repairs in the summer for numerous reasons. We've outline the top reasons below!
Ideal Curing Conditions:
- Warm Temperatures: Concrete requires warm temperatures to cure properly. Summer's sunshine provides the ideal environment for the concrete to cure quickly and achieve optimal strength, resulting in a longer-lasting, more durable repair for your driveway apron.
- Reduced Moisture Concerns: Rain and excessive moisture can disrupt the curing process and compromise the integrity of the repair. Summer's drier weather minimizes the risk of rain delays or moisture-related issues.
Convenience and Comfort:
- Minimal Disruption: With warmer weather, you and your family can spend more time outdoors while the repairs are underway. This minimizes disruption to your daily routine compared to staying cooped indoors during colder months.
- Faster Completion: Favorable curing conditions allow for quicker project completion times. This means you can get back to using your driveway apron sooner and enjoy summer activities without the inconvenience of a blocked entryway.
Peace of Mind Before Winter:
- Freeze-Thaw Protection: Cracked or damaged aprons are more susceptible to further damage from winter's freeze-thaw cycles. Addressing repairs in summer prevents these issues from worsening and potentially causing more extensive (and expensive) problems come winter.
- Enhanced Safety: Uneven or broken concrete can pose a tripping hazard. Fixing your driveway apron before winter ensures a safe and secure entryway for yourself, your family, and your guests during the snowy and icy months.
Additional Summer Benefits:
- Availability of Contractors: Summer is often a busy season for contractors. However, scheduling repairs during the warmer months can still be more accessible than during the peak winter season when everyone's scrambling for snow removal and other winter-related services.
- Easier Visual Inspection: Summer's dry weather allows for a more thorough inspection of the condition of the driveway apron. Cracks and other problems are more easily identified when the surface is dry and debris-free.
Don't wait for cracks to become craters! By scheduling driveway apron repairs during the summer, you can leverage the season's advantages to ensure a smooth, safe, and long-lasting repair for your driveway.
