What is the difference between slab and slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>There’s no difference between a “slab foundation” and a “slab-on-grade foundation,” and contractors and homeowners use the terms synonymously. “Slab foundation” is just a shortened version of “slab-on-grade.” In both cases, the homebuilder will pour the concrete foundation into a mold they build directly on the ground. As such, these foundations require no expensive excavation.</p></div>

What is the life expectancy of concrete log siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a>, so you’ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you’ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.</p></div>

Q: Can a concrete patio be too thick?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll want your patio to be 4 inches thick, although you should add reinforcement and increase the thickness up to around 8 inches if you want it to support heavier loads and resist cracking more readily. Although thicker slabs will cost more, you&rsquo;ll start seeing diminishing returns at around 6 inches.</p></div>

Q: What is the best base for a floating deck?

• <div><p>One of the best base materials for a floating deck is a layer of gravel or compacted paver base to promote drainage and stability. Additionally, using concrete deck blocks or similar supports helps evenly distribute the weight and keep the structure level. These base materials help minimize moisture buildup, reducing shifting and rotting. </p></div>
