Q: What are the disadvantages of a concrete house?

• <div><p>Concrete houses cost 10% to 20% more to build than stick-built homes, and maintenance on home systems is more invasive and expensive due to pipes and wires being buried in concrete. Concrete homes can also look more industrial and less comfortable if you don&rsquo;t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It&rsquo;s also more challenging to make changes to concrete, so reframing doors and windows or building home additions will cost more. Concrete needs time to cure, too, so the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-build-house.htm">timeline to build a house</a> out of concrete is a bit longer.</p></div>

Q: Do monolithic slabs have footers?

• <div><p>All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers&mdash;which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil&mdash;are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.</p></div>

Q: Should I patch, resurface, or replace my concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete blemishes such as chipped steps or small cracks are fixable with patching. For bigger jobs, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">driveway repair</a> and cracks wider than a 1/4 of an inch, patches will only serve as a temporary fix. Resurfacing is ideal when the surface is showing more widespread wear&mdash;like if it&rsquo;s pitted, rough, or has lots of cracks. Resurfacing gives your concrete a fresh, like-new appearance without needing a full replacement.</p><p>When the concrete is severely cracked, sinking, or otherwise structurally unsound, replacing it might be your best option. Replacement ensures the safety and longevity of the surface in this case. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you&rsquo;ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a driveway apron be?

• <div><p>Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage. </p></div>

That's my "concrete stamped and decorative walk" the right. Project was completed Apr. 2024 and my original review would have been 5 stars. I need to upload a "now" picture. By early summer we started getting cracks. Contacted Joe and asked him to come by and look at it, and he said it was too...

Work was professionally done, on time and at the price quoted. Donna (owner) and Derick (field tech) were both very friendly, informative about the mitigation process and customer-focused. Follow up testing showed radon level to be significantly lowered to EPA standards.

"As far as we can tell, the work was effective at stabilizing our foundation, and the on-site crew led by Luke was great, informing us of their progress along the way. However, we expressed in advance our concern about protecting some of our landscaping. We were assured the crew would have boards to cover landscaping on which removed dirt would be piled. This turned out not to be the case. I’ve had quite a bit of expense and labor to restore landscaping that was damaged during the work. This damage could have been avoided. Foundation Recovery sends out $500 coupons to advertise for their work. My attempts to contact Joe and FRS to honor even a part of the $500 coupon to help defray my landscaping costs have gone unanswered. Our salesperson, Joe, was not present during the work and has not been responsive to our followup inquiries. We are very disappointed in the poor customer service from Foundation and its representatives. I cannot recommend this company based on their failure to address our up-front concerns, lack of response to our followup requests, and the false advertising that is associated with the coupons."
