How long does it take to demolish concrete?

• <div><p>Most concrete demolition can take place in one day, depending on the size of the project. Thickness and concrete strength play the biggest role in how long it’ll take to remove. It’s important to hire a pro with the right equipment and experience, as this can significantly speed up a project. </p></div>

Do you need to wet concrete to cut it?

• <div><p>No, you don’t need to wet concrete to cut it, particularly if you are using a dry-cutting blade. However, adding some water can help cut down on concrete dust. If you’re using a wet-cutting blade, then yes, you need a constant stream of water on your cutting piece while you’re cutting. </p></div>

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>

"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."
