When I’m not writing for this blog, I’m running AD Concrete Contractors, my Texas-based concrete business. We handle everything from residential driveways and patios to commercial foundations and industrial floors throughout the Lone Star State.

What makes AD Concrete Contractors unique is our adaptability to challenging conditions. In Texas, we’re constantly battling heat and rapid evaporation – concrete can set too quickly if you’re not careful. We’ve developed specialized techniques to ensure perfect pours even when temperatures soar above 100°F.

My experience extends north of the border too, where I regularly help my brother with his Canadian concrete business. Up there, it’s the opposite problem. The cold means slower setting times and the risk of freezing before proper curing. Plus, the freeze-thaw cycles in Canada mean we have to be extra careful about air entrainment in the mix.

This dual experience in two completely different concrete environments has given AD Concrete Contractors an edge when it comes to problem-solving and quality work in any condition. Whether you’re dealing with extreme heat, cold, or anything in between, we’ve likely tackled similar challenges before.
