Q: Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it&rsquo;s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder. Additionally, you should only use this method if you&rsquo;re working on a smaller area, like a countertop, rounding an edge, removing imperfections, or doing a spot repair versus a driveway or patio.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain finished concrete?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, reseal every 2-3 years, and avoid abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the finish.</p></div>

Q: What chemicals are used to bond old concrete to new concrete?

• <div><p>You'll find a slurry of natural and synthetic polymers, rubbers, epoxies, and resins used to bond old concrete to new concrete. The right bonding agent depends on the method of concrete pouring you choose and whether you're adhering concrete over concrete or concrete over sand and gravel. Some concrete resurfacing mixtures contain bonding chemicals as well. </p></div>

Q: How do I determine the cost of repairing a concrete sidewalk?

• <div><p>To determine the cost of your repair, calculate the square footage of the job and determine the extent of the damage to decide the best route for your project. Then, decide if you will be using standard concrete or an upgraded design. Obtain multiple quotes from reputable contractors to compare sidewalk repair cost estimates.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to fix cracks in the basement floor?

• <div><p>The best solution to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-foundation-cracks.htm">fix a foundation crack</a> in your basement floor depends on the underlying cause. If you just have hairline cracks from settlements that are no longer growing, the best option is to seal them with a crack sealant. If the cracks continue to grow, one edge rises above the other, or there are signs that water is getting in through the crack, a professional repair will be necessary. Depending on the root cause, your professional may employ foundation underpinning or some other type of stabilization, seal the cracks, or install a drainage system.</p></div>

He did a horrible job (and knew he did) took nearly six months (should have been weeks) took the money and never came back to fix what he messed up. The concrete cracked in half the next day, the bricks on the flower boxes fell apart the first day as well, the bench he built in the back doesnâ ...

Project manager, Scott Lamareoux, is outstanding and honest. I would NOT use this provider unless he is the manager - and I know what subcontractor I would insist on them using, too. The roofing job was led by a subcontractor, Philip Lucas, and was nothing short of superior. I learned later,...

He dug a trench around the house and poured poison. It took him a day. His work I didn't see but the quality was effective. He broke up the termite tunnels as well. He drilled holes in the concrete and poured poison in there too.

Our house was built way back in 1965 and I have no idea if any work has been done to the septic system since it was first installed. The "pipe" from the bathroom to the septic tank was concrete and it had cracked over the years and roots were growing up into it. We had it cut out a few months...
