Q: Does a concrete driveway need rebar?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no legal requirement that states that you need rebar in a concrete driveway, but since the slab will be supporting heavy vehicle loads, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to pay a bit more for rebar reinforcement. Your driveway will be much more likely to crack if you don&rsquo;t reinforce it with rebar. Driveways that need to support commercial vehicles or provide parking for multiple vehicles at once should always include rebar reinforcement. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-concrete-over-asphalt.htm">pouring concrete over asphalt</a> or pouring concrete over an existing slab, you may not have enough depth for rebar, meaning an increased risk of cracking. </p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable cement driveway contractor?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to protect your investment in your project by hiring a reputable contractor. First, make sure they&rsquo;re insured and with a licensed company. Get referrals by asking friends and neighbors who were happy with their finished products. </p><p>While you may initially think it&rsquo;s more affordable to use an independent contractor or friend of a friend, you might benefit in the long run from working with an experienced contractor who can take the job entirely off your hands. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-concrete-driveway-contractor.htm">Hiring a concrete driveway contractor</a> takes a bit of up-front research.</p></div>

Q: How can I clean epoxy off of a concrete floor?

• <div><p>If your epoxy application ended up a bit messy and left spills behind, there are several ways to clean epoxy off of a concrete floor. You can use a power washer with at least 3,000 PSI. However, it may be easier to use a scraping tool or an acidic cleaner, like vinegar, to remove unwanted epoxy. </p><p>If the entire floor has epoxy and you want to remove just excess epoxy stains, these methods could still strip parts of the epoxy floor. Move carefully and in small areas to minimize damage, or call a pro for an expert finish.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour a slab without footings?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pour a foundation</a> slab without footings, in which case it&rsquo;s often called a floating slab. Floating slabs don&rsquo;t have separate footings poured beforehand for support, which means they&rsquo;re better suited for smaller structures. Monolithic concrete slabs are another option for a slab foundation without standalone footings, although the vertical edges of the single-pour slab do act as footings.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove concrete myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small areas, but professional services ensure safe, efficient removal with minimal dust and debris.</p></div>

I can’t say enough about this company. While the project took longer than expected, most issues were beyond anyone’s control. Jesus was a true professional. Respectful and considerate of my time. This was a complicated project, and the final product exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend...

Trenton and Miguel were very friendly, punctual and did a great job raising the back concrete steps and leveling the sidewalk. Since it rained, they are coming back to do the caulking.

Cochrans was prompt and efficient. They were helpful and easy to deal with. They cleaned up after themselves and the concrete looks great. Would definitely use them again.

They didn't have good communication about what the plan was, and how the work would go in. It's pretty and nice, but there are some things about it we don't like. Some of the stone had to be cut, and that was unsightly. A stone that had a crack on it was put on the front where it showed. Stones...

"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."
