In order to put in a shed in our backyard, I have to remove a portion of our concrete patio. How difficult is this and do you know of a contractor who would do this?
I am sure Avellino would do this job, but they are generally too pricey.
depends on whether or not it is reinforced (i.e., has rebar). if you're wanting to keep part and remove part, you're going to want to make a clean cut, which requires a special saw.
even if it doesn't have rebar, it is backbreaking work. i don't recommend trying to do more than a few square feet of it as a DIY. sorry, don't have anybody to recommend.
Sledgehammer, pick axe, mikata saw, shovel, wheelbarrow, ear plugs, eye protection, muscle. All widely available at low price. Legal disposal not expensive either. Much know-how not needed. High profit margin job for many well known local entities. Whom would the Kearny homeowner hire?
Honestly, I am not going to attempt this myself. My last DIY job was installing a French drain and, while it all worked out, the amount of effort wasn't worth the 5 days it took.
Apollo, the reason I have to cut the patio is that we have a lot coverage issue and to remain at the current level of non-porous coverage, I have to remove an equal amount of the patio as I add for the shed.
