What are the advantages of
a concrete driveway over an asphalt driveway?
Concrete offers a much longer lasting, lower maintenance surface
than asphalt. It looks better and provides many decorative options
such as colored or stamped concrete.

How long does Sherrick Construction
guarantee its work?
We guarantee the concrete surface from flaking and spalling for
one year. Cracking cannot be guaranteed due to the variety of soil
conditions in Colorado; however, we have developed techniques that
minimize shrinkage cracking and we place control joints in the concrete
to reduce stress on the concrete.

I have a sprinkler system.
How do I avoid sprinkler damage when the work to being done?
To eliminate the possibility of damage we recommend that you flag
all sprinkler heads in the construction area.

Will our lawn and shrubs be
damaged when Sherrick Construction pours our driveway?
No damage will occur. We are very careful and respectful of personal
property. After the forms are removed a planter’s mix is used
to fill in the gaps between the new concrete and the lawn. All construction
materials are removed. The entire area is cleaned and returned to
its original condition.

service to all of our customers.

product and application instructions.
