Tom P. contacted Saber on behalf of a West Covina retirement facility. This facility had concrete issues that were causing walkway trip hazards for its guests.  Saber Design Specialist Gilbert S. walked the property with Tom, and determined that the proper solution for the facility's damaged walkways was removal and replacement of the concrete. Concrete Foreman Andrew M. and crew arrived on time to the job site to perform the work suggested. They removed the damaged area, prepared the area for new concrete with rebar, and then put a nice finish on the concrete after they poured.  Tom was very pleased with the final product, giving Andrew and crew a great review.   
UNEVEN FLOORS IN WEST COVINA
West Covina homeowner Laura S. saw that the floor between the living room and dining room was sloping. Noticeable cracks were present in the living room as well as on the exterior of her home. She contacted Saber for an evaluation, and Project Design Specialist Jason S. assessed the property. Jason recommended the installation of push piers around the perimeter of the home, as well as two supplemental metal beams to provide support. This will remedy the sloping as well as prevent any further shifting in the future. Laura was very satisfied with Jason and writes, "Jason was thorough and spent time with us explaining the repair solution to our foundation." At Saber, we love providing lasting solutions to homeowners. There is nothing better than to know that your home is on a firm foundation.
