Patio Remodeling
in Sherman Oaks
This patio remodeling project in Sherman Oaks transformed a failed raised tile patio into a clean, durable outdoor living surface using polished concrete installation, code-compliant rebar reinforcement, and proper base preparation.
Replacing a Failed
Raised Tile Patio
The homeowners had a raised tile patio floor that began sinking because the previous contractor used the wrong scope of work for the conditions. Instead of another surface-level repair, the project required a proper patio replacement with a stronger base, reinforcement, and a long-term finish.
We recommended a reinforced concrete patio system designed to improve stability, eliminate movement, and create a cleaner outdoor living area.
- Failed raised tile floor from previous contractor work.
- Existing patio surface had settled and become uneven.
- Old tile and unstable substrate needed removal.
- New base preparation was required before concrete placement.
- Rebar reinforcement was installed by code.
- Polished concrete finish selected for durability and clean modern appearance.
