    Concrete floor repair (deep damage)

    A counterpoint to all the folks who say to not waste your money fixing someone else's property....the first time I try my hand at anything I do not usually get results to live with. The best case for a renter is to get the landlord commit to paying materials....put in the labor and take away...
