Can you pour concrete over an existing basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete basement floor to save time and money on fully ripping out an existing concrete slab. However, it’s not a perfect solution, so consult a pro before moving forward. You must take specific measurements, and these kinds of floors don’t have the same longevity.</p></div>

Q: Do you sand concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>You can concrete can be done when it&rsquo;s wet or dry. However, it&rsquo;s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you&rsquo;ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you&rsquo;ll need to be more careful.</p></div>

Q: What can you pour concrete over?

• <div><p>The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.</p></div>

Q: Do cinder blocks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, cinder blocks must be primed before painting. Without primer, your paint won't stick to the surface of the blocks. You should use a bonding and filling primer which fills all of the small pores of your blocks. Once the primer dries, you'll have a smoother surface to work with and your paint will stick easily to the blocks.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to grind concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>For homeowners, it&rsquo;s better to dry grind concrete. Dry grinding is the method described above and can be done by experienced DIYers for smaller projects. Wet grinding requires a big volume of water, a way to collect the slurry created by the water and dust, and an environmentally-safe place to dispose of the slurry. In general, only professionals do wet grinding. </p></div>

"Elite Bobcat concrete came out to give an estimate on 7/11/24. Agreed to the estimate for 2700.00 total on same day. Provider showed up on 7/15 to dig out sidewalk, his equipment didn’t work so they dug it out by hand. Then they framed the sidewalk so It would be ready to pump on 7/17. They were going to start at 12 noon. We got a call from the concrete company saying we needed to pay them for the concrete. (This was unknown to us at the time. We paid for it with a credit card. Elite Bobcat showed up without a pump that was included in the estimate. They wheelbarrow the entire 2.5 yards of concrete in. We were concerned that it would cause a mess on the existing sidewalk. They poured it and it was going to rain. They left us used plastic for us to cover the sidewalk if it rained hard. They said they would return the next day to finish pulling the wood form out. My husband paid them and even tipped all 3 workers as well as providing them water as needed. I would like to be reimbursed for the pump cost of $950.00 as well as 50.00 for removal and disposal of the wood. This was very upsetting to us as we were good to them. They were called a minimum of 3-8 times to determine when they would finish by picking up the wood from the framing. They never responded. I used another phone number and got the owner and he said just put the wood in the street."
