Q: How much do concrete contractors usually charge?

• <div><p>Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from <b>$6 to $14 per square foot</b>. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-concrete-demo-cost-square-foot.htm">Removal of existing concrete</a>, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.</p></div>

Q: How long does a concrete patio last on average?

• <div><p>A concrete patio lasts an average of 30 years, but the length of life you&rsquo;ll get from yours depends largely on the climate. In harsh conditions, including excessive rainfall and snowfall, a concrete patio may only last for 15 years. In a moderate climate and with non-expansive, supportive soil below, a concrete patio could last for up to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete when it freezes at night?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to pour concrete if the temperatures are expected to dip below freezing at night, but you need to take some special precautions before you do. Most importantly, you need to make sure your concrete won&rsquo;t freeze, so the best thing to do is enclose the area and heat it. You should also make sure you&rsquo;re using cold-weather concrete that&rsquo;s designed for pouring in cold weather. Use accelerants to help speed up the curing process and avoid cold temperatures from resulting in weak concrete. </p></div>

We did a complete kitchen remodel, and could not be happier!. The crew did a great job. They showed up on time and kept the site clean, and they got the job done on time. We plan to have them remodel our bathrooms this year.
