I'm a fledgling homeowner and general consensus baby boy compared to the seasoned wisdom of the FFA. I need your advice!
Is there a significant difference in the risk of damage on a new pad for work done before vs after the pad is sealed?
Our new patio out back was poured, stamped and colored two weeks ago. It looks great, we're very happy with it. Our concrete contractor has been very helpful and explanatory; they'll be out to seal the concrete at the end of next week.
Enter our covered patio contractors, looking to provide us with a discount if we agree to be flexible and move up our date to early next week. This is a fairly simple cover with some impact to the pad: there will be two posts anchored in the footers poured into our pad and the rest will be anchored to our exterior wall.
Is this just a terrible idea to have them come work before the pad has been sealed and set for a few days? I realize there is some risk, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know if it is significantly different than if the crew was working on the sealed pad.
Thanks!
