Reviews:
I had a great experience working with BPerez Pavers. They offered me a range of concrete options to use on the pool decks when I asked them. It was a good deal thanks to the staff who helped me choose. You guys did a great job!
It is our third time working with this company. We have used them for both our patio and pool. bperezpavers.com replaced our driveway and it was a great, fast and easy process. The entire project was completed in 2 days. We are extremely happy. I would highly recommend this fantastic company to my friends and family.
Basilio’s crew is great. I am amazed at how clean and efficient the entire process was. Don’t miss the chance to get Mr. Perez quotes your project – you will not be disappointed with its price and outcome.
They did a great job and went above and beyond to point out any problems they saw.
The driveway to my house was crumbling. It was because the soil beneath the slabs eroded. There were no supports under the slabs, and this led to cracking. BPerez Pavers filled the void underneath the concrete slabs and leveled the pieces. The workers did not quit until they had repaired all the cracks. I can easily see my driveway lasting for years to come. If there’s a problem, the technician will come back. This was true with one of those slabs. The slab needed to be filled. No additional costs were incurred. My driveway was saved for a third of the cost to replace it. They are highly recommended to any homeowner with problems with their concrete. They deserve five stars.

Safety Considerations:
Safety should always come first when undertaking concrete projects, no matter if you are taking on DIY work yourself or hiring professional concrete contractors. Here are some key safety considerations when approaching concrete projects:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When working with concrete, always wear appropriate PPE such as safety goggles, gloves, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and steel-toed boots – these will protect you against hazards like concrete splatter, dust and sharp objects that could potentially present themselves during your project.
2. Proper Ventilation: To protect yourself when working indoors with concrete or in enclosed spaces, ensure adequate ventilation is in place. Concrete work generates dust and fumes which may pose health risks when breathed in excessively; open windows and use fans where possible; when necessary, consider wearing respiratory protection equipment to safeguard yourself.
3. Lifting and Moving Heavy Objects: Concrete work involves lifting and transporting heavy objects such as bags of concrete mix or slabs. Proper lifting techniques should be utilized to avoid strains and injuries when lifting these objects – lift with legs not back, seek assistance when handling heavier loads such as dollies or forklifts, etc.
4. Equipment and Tool Safety: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines when using equipment and tools for concrete work, inspecting them for damage or malfunction before use and making sure tools are grounded correctly before performing maintenance or repairs using lockout/tagout procedures.
5. Hazardous Material Handling: Concrete work often necessitates using chemicals and hazardous materials such as concrete sealers and cleaning agents that should be handled according to their Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), using appropriate protective measures like gloves and goggles when handling these substances.
6. Site Safety: For optimal site safety, create an organized work area by eliminating potential trip hazards, securing loose materials, and clearly marking any elevation changes or potential dangers. Barricade the work area if necessary to restrict unauthorized access. Likewise, place appropriate signage to alert others of wet concrete, uneven surfaces or any other potential threats in the vicinity.
7. Concrete Mixing and Pouring: When mixing and pouring concrete, make sure to observe safe practices. Pace yourself during this process to prevent overexertion or fatigue from overexertion or fatigue; be wary of wet surfaces which pose a slipperiness risk; use tools and techniques designed for precise placement without splashing or spillage of excess product; be cautious of wet and slippery surfaces that pose slipperiness risks; take note of wet or slippery surfaces which could become hazards later.
8. Electrical Safety: When operating electrical-powered equipment around wet or damp concrete surfaces, always ensure it is adequately grounded, using ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). Keep cords and electrical connections away from areas with wet floors to avoid potential electrical shock hazards.
9. First Aid and Emergency Preparation: Keep a well-stocked first aid kit readily available on-site, train employees on basic first aid procedures, ensure emergency exits are accessible and fire extinguishers located appropriately, establish an emergency communication plan, and be prepared to respond swiftly in the event of accidents or injuries.
Always follow local regulations and consult reliable safety resources, like OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines, to ensure comprehensive protection measures are in place for your concrete project.
