Schedule Your Concrete Garage Apron Repair Before Winter

Now that fall is here, many Minnesotans are already preparing themselves for the harsh winters here. If your concrete isn’t protected, water can seep into cracks. The freeze/thaw cycle of water can cause even further damage to your concrete throughout the winter. That’s part of why it is so imperative that you make sure your concrete garage apron in Minneapolis is protected before winter hits.

A concrete garage apron is an important feature of a driveway and garage as it provides a gradual slope into the garage, allowing your car to enter without damage and providing visual distinction between the driveway and garage. A concrete garage apron is also a great chance to show off your aesthetic and make your driveway reflect you.

This important driveway feature is subject to the harsh conditions all winter long, so it’s best to make sure that any repairs are taken care of prior to the first snowfall. Waiting to repair concrete until the winter isn’t always feasible as the cold temperatures impact cure times and concrete’s ability to settle properly.

If repairs have been pushed off for too long, it may even be time to completely replace your concrete garage apron. Don’t worry though! Wohlwend Concrete is here to help with full replacements or repairs of your concrete garage apron.

The concrete garage apron not only provides a slope into your garage to protect your car, but also protects your foundation from water running into your garage and home. A damaged concrete garage apron could let water seep into your foundation, causing much bigger issues as this year’s accumulation of snowfall melts.

Plus, a concrete garage apron protects your garage floor and driveway as well. As the two surfaces likely have different subgrades, the transition of a concrete garage apron can keep them apart, allowing them to each experience their own freeze-thaw cycles without damaging the other.

The best way to prepare for this winter is to call Wohlwend Concrete to make sure your concrete is ready for the harsh conditions.
