As El Paso’s best wrought iron company, we often get quizzical looks when we tell people we work with concrete all the time. And we can’t blame them—our name is Best Iron Works, after all. But it’s true! We love working with concrete, and believe quality concrete and iron work together can make a home truly shine.
In this article, we’ll touch on all the concrete services we perform, from driveways to unique concrete artwork.
Expert Paving Services
While we absolutely love working with concrete, we can admit that it doesn’t quite last forever. Wear and tear, blunt force, and simply El Paso’s variable climate can wear down the concrete around your home.
In fact, our variable climate is one of the main reasons why concrete can be cracked and deformed when not properly applied. Expansion in the summer and compression in the winter puts stress on the normal shape of the concrete, and combined with pressure from cars and trucks, can ruin good concrete over time.
We understand that your concrete makes as much a statement as your wrought iron pieces, so we’ve spent years working with our clients’ concrete as well. Below are the areas of concrete work we work with:
Driveway
Ah, the driveway. The last piece of road you’ll have to drive on before you can enjoy the comfort of home. It’s also one of the first things that people will notice about your home at first sight, which is why many people inquire about our driveway paving services.
A more financial reason to get your driveway paved is that it increases the property value of your home in addition to simply looking fantastic.
But wait! Did you also know that concrete reflects sunlight much more than asphalt, keeping your driveway cool and enjoyable? And concrete is durable, ensuring your driveway will be intact for a long time. In fact, here are a few more benefits, if you’re still not convinced:
- Great for drainage
- Smart investment versus other types of driveway
- No need for constant repair
- Smooth finish that saves your tires
Sidewalks, Curbs, and Steps
Just like with driveways, sidewalks and curbs are one of the first points of interest for anyone looking at your home. If those are cracked and deformed, people will inevitably make assumptions about your home as well.
The steps to your home, however, are a slightly different story. When paving the steps of your home, safety is a major factor. Unkempt and cracked steps can be a safety hazard, and should be fixed before an accident occurs.
Increase the beauty and property value of your home with expert sidewalk and curb paving, along with your driveway. We’d be happy to help finance such a project, since we’ve helped countless El Paso homeowners with their driveways, sidewalks, and curbs over the years.
Stylistic Concrete
Finally, we get to the stylish interpretations of concrete work. We absolutely love doing the more stylish concrete products for our customers. The opportunities for impactful and functional design are practically limitless!
One of our favorite options is to make a stylistic walkway to the steps of your front door. A great walkway is very inviting and can add to the value of your home overall.
We can also make intricate artwork and details near the door, like a detailed set of steps that feels like you’re walking up to a palace.
Concrete pots for plants, a concrete patio for gathering friends and guests, or even a modern concrete fireplace t warm up around could be made! The limit is truly your imagination!
