Our Warranty
Borowicz Construction offers a 1 year limited warranty for extreme (more than 1 inch) settling or rising, and for spalling (immediate flaking of concrete within the first few days after pour.) The concrete can be torn out and replaced at cost. Our customer will pay for the new concrete and labor only. This is good for 1 year from the date the concrete was poured. The warranty does not include cracking, hairline, or otherwise.
A foundation connects the entire architectural structure to the ground. It should be extremely strong because it distributes the load from the structure to the ground below, ensuring structural stability. If you choose an amateur contractor to build the footings and foundations, you may end up damaging the structural integrity of your home. So, it is important that you trust an expert concrete contractor like Borowicz Construction for giving you the best results.
In Minnesota with such an extreme variety of weather where it is expected that the ground will freeze in winter, a T-shaped foundation may be the best choice. The T-shape refers to the way the footing and foundation are constructed. The footing is built below the frost line, walls are constructed and then the slab is poured. Concrete should be allowed to cure adequately at each stage to ensure structural integrity.
A frost-protected slab-on-grade may also be used in this area. By insulating the concrete between two layers of polystyrene sheets, the pad will trap the heat from the ground and absorb the heat from the top. This type of foundation works only if the structure itself is going to be heated. A frost-protected slab foundation is recommended by concrete contractors because it is durable, sturdy and cost-effective.
Footings are an important part of foundation construction. They are typically made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation and prevent settling. Footings are especially important in areas with troublesome soils.
The construction of footings is best left to the pros that can assess the soil conditions and decide on the proper depth and width for the footings as well as the proper placement. The dimensions of footings also depend on the size and type of structure that will be built. Placement of footings is crucial to provide the proper support for the foundation and ultimately the structure.
Concrete footings may also be needed for projects such as a deck, pergola, retaining wall or other types of construction.

Decorative Concrete
While most people choose to have colored concrete poured when choosing a stamp finish, it can also be done with standard gray concrete. Borowicz Construction recommends stamped concrete for patios, walkways, and some porches. Driveways can also be stamped, it looks amazing, and is done often. It is important to recognize, however, that when concrete is stamped, it tends to be much more slippery when wet. So please take that into consideration when deciding on whether or not to stamp your newly pour concrete.
Stained Concrete
Stained concrete appeals to many people who want to achieve unique decorative effects for a reasonable cost. Concrete stain does more than simply add color. Rather than produce a solid, opaque effect like paint or colored coatings, stains permeate the concrete to infuse it with rich, deep, translucent tones. Even when treated with the same staining product in the same shade, no two concrete floors, walls, or countertops will look alike due to factors such as the composition and age of the concrete and surface porosity. Acid stained concrete gives new life to old concrete. Staining your old concrete can give it a beautiful and refreshing marble or granite look.
Stamped Concrete
Stamped Concrete is the process of applying a texture on the surface of newly poured concrete for design purpose. Once the concrete’s surface is ready, a “stamp” is physically applied to the surface of the concrete which leaves an impression on top. This is a beautiful and decorative way to customize your newly poured concrete. There are numerous choices in stamps that replicate stones such as slate, flagstone, tile, brick and even wood. Stamped concrete is the perfect outdoor paving choice for pool decks, driveways, courtyards, patios, and anything in between.
