I'm a 42 year veteran Commercial Contractor. Nice to see someone who knows what they are doing. In addition, this mans integrity is reflected in his commitment to quality! Great job!

I would just like to say that watching you guys work is impressive I work for a small construction company and we are pouring a new slab in about an hour and I’m beyond excited to try the new power trowel from watching you guys work

[jimcarmichael]

Your continual drive for perfection in your work, along with trying new tools and techniques proves to me you would be my only choice for any concrete work. Bravo for your success. #1 in my book.

I do marketing and website work for a contractor with this kind of knowledge and ethic, I gotta say these types of folks are top grade people! Modern concrete is an incredible gift to the world that has been slowly and painfully crafted over thousands of years. The history of concrete is another incredible area to study. Thanks for this video, you guys are great.

I do this for a living, and I really think I learned a few things from you. Thank you sir.

I really enjoyed hearing you state that you water it for giving it the best possible chance. I always like to tell my customers that we do certain things we do with whatever might be pertaining in that certain conversation because it gives it that best possible chance. Not to ever tell them that something is certain. Concrete is an imperfect material that your trying to make perfect and there’s a lot of variables to a final product. It was awesome to hear someone say and feel the same things. Awesome video with many informative points. Thanks Eric.

[MrJudge]

I’m an inspector in O&G industry. Here to get some knowledge with civil work. Thanks for some education man. Your videos are very informative.

[davidrobins]

Very well done - the customer will be pleased with the job your team has done.

[jasongreene]

Great Video.

As a ready mix supplier I talk to so many people who watch videos and think they can do it. Very few videos show the steps and time it takes to do it properly.
Also mentioning Sack concrete mixes vs. Cementitious concrete mixes. Most folks don't know the difference and only care about price not quality.
Moist curing moist curing is the easiest and best thing to do. You may feel like a fool going to water your concrete but it is a great thing to do.

Great video. For years on my sidewalks I was using finishing trowel first. And although I made it work, I was never happy with the results. It worked and looked great but I was working double. Keep in mind I do drainage and usually the sidewalks we were doing were for free for the customer part of the job. Anyways I started only magging and finishing until the end recently and the results have been amazing so far

[GRUBB-MUDD]

Very good description in your vids, what is a tripod video head ?

[chrisbradford]

Thanks for describing the preparation sequence prior to burnishing. The curing process is well described also.
My wife has watched your video too.

[angelbarbosa]

[joshuaodwyer]

[gregorysampson]

The only concrete guy on YouTube that actually knows what he's doing!
I want him on my job!

[toddgoldberg]

Great video Eric!!! You are so right, concrete is all about timing. You can work the concrete or you can let the concrete work you. The first option is always best, lol.
