Before & After Photos

In Chandler, Arizona, the homeowner began noticing small horizontal cracks forming along the exterior of their concrete stem wall. Over time, these cracks became larger, indicating the beginning stages of stem wall failure. The problem stemmed from moisture infiltrating the concrete, leading to rebar oxidization. When rebar oxidizes, it expands, causing concrete spalling and cracking. Although the homeowner had tried patching the cracks before, the repairs didn’t last long, and the cracks began to reopen.

Customer Care Representative Nevaeh arranged for Design Specialist Derek to evaluate the property. Derek identified the cracked and crumbling stem wall issues caused by moisture infiltration and oxidizing rebar—a common but serious issue in Arizona due to the dry climate, which can lead to rapid concrete deterioration. After discussing the homeowner's concerns and goals, Derek explained why traditional repair methods, such as patching, epoxy coatings, or even rebar replacement, wouldn’t provide a lasting solution. These methods often fail to address the root issue, allowing oxidization to recur, leading to more cracking and spalling over time.

Since the customer had concerns about the longevity of the repair, Derek recommended the Arizona Foundation Solutions' specialized Concrete Stem Wall Repair System, a cutting-edge solution designed specifically to address the unique challenges posed by stem wall failure in residential properties.

The homeowner in Chandler, Arizona, was facing a significant issue with their back patio. Over time, the concrete had become stained, mismatched, and worn down, diminishing the overall appearance of the outdoor space. With plans to host summer gatherings and pool parties, the homeowner wanted to restore the patio’s curb appeal and protect it from further damage. Seeking a solution, they contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions for expert help in revitalizing the patio’s concrete.

Amanda, the Customer Care Representative, promptly scheduled an appointment with Gamalier, the Design Specialist, who visited the property to assess the condition of the patio. After a thorough evaluation, Gamalier recommended DecoShield™, a high-quality concrete sealer that could not only enhance the patio’s appearance but also provide long-lasting protection against moisture, UV rays, and stains. This solution was perfect for dealing with the unsightly mismatched slabs and improving the overall aesthetics.

Foreman Hyrum was assigned to oversee the project, ensuring that every step of the 4-step concrete sealing process would be executed flawlessly. The goal was to prepare, seal, and protect the back patio, giving it a fresh, uniform look that would last for years to come.

After Project Description:

After the application of DecoShield™, the back patio of the Chandler home was completely transformed. What was once a stained and mismatched surface became a beautifully uniform and visually appealing outdoor space. Foreman Hyrum and his crew followed a meticulous process, which involved cleaning, etching, and applying multiple coats of the tinted DecoShield sealer. The final sealing coat provided a smooth, protected surface that was both durable and attractive.

The DecoShield sealer not only gave the patio a fresh, modern look but also ensured that it was shielded from future damage caused by Arizona’s harsh weather conditions. The translucent tint helped blend the previously mismatched slabs, while the UV-stable, moisture-resistant formula prevented further pitting, flaking, or staining.

Thanks to the expert coordination between Amanda, Gamalier, and Hyrum, the project was completed on time, and the homeowner was thrilled with the results. The revitalized back patio was now ready for summer barbecues and gatherings, with its enhanced curb appeal and long-lasting protection making it a standout feature of the home.

In Chandler, Arizona, a homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions to improve their outdoor spaces, particularly their driveway and patio. These areas had become an eyesore with visible stains, cracks, and mismatched patches from previous repairs. The homeowner wanted to enhance their property’s curb appeal and protect their concrete from further damage caused by Arizona's harsh sun and fluctuating weather conditions.

The Customer Care Representative, Amanda, efficiently scheduled an appointment for the homeowner, while Hyrum, the Design Specialist, conducted an initial evaluation. Hyrum observed that the untreated concrete had absorbed oils, chemicals, and moisture, which left noticeable stains and pitting on the surface. After thoroughly assessing the situation, he recommended the DecoShield™ Concrete Sealer as the ideal solution to enhance the appearance of the concrete and protect it from future wear and tear.

Under the supervision of the foreman, Gamalier, the Arizona Foundation Solutions team transformed the homeowner’s driveway and patio using the DecoShield™ Concrete Sealer. Following their 4-step sealing process, the team prepared the concrete by applying a specialized etching solution, power-washed the surfaces, and allowed them to dry. Then, they meticulously applied several coats of the tinted DecoShield™ sealer, finishing with a final sealing coat to lock in the protection.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results: the concrete now had a rich, uniform appearance, free from stains, with a pleasant translucent tint that added visual appeal. The DecoShield sealer not only beautified the concrete but also made it resistant to cracking, chipping, and moisture damage. Thanks to this durable sealer, the homeowner’s driveway and patio are now better protected from Arizona’s extreme climate, while the property’s overall curb appeal has dramatically improved.
