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’t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It’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 vinyl fence posts need concrete?

• <div><p>Vinyl fence posts need concrete for longevity and stability. Later on, if a fence post is loose, you may be able to use expandable foam to repair the post. Expandable post foam works well for repairs or temporary fences. But when it comes to initially installing the post, always use concrete for the best results.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain finished concrete?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, reseal every 2-3 years, and avoid abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the finish.</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>

Q: Can you lay artificial grass straight onto concrete?

• <div><p>Generally, you shouldn&rsquo;t lay artificial grass straight onto concrete. You&rsquo;ll want to add some sort of underlayment that acts as a cushion. This makes it a little bit safer for children running around a pool and is recommended to prevent injury in recreational settings. It also protects that artificial grass&rsquo; backing. Just glue the grass to the underlayment using the proper adhesive.</p></div>

Mr. Allen and his crew did a fantastic job of forming and pouring the concrete for my driveway widening. Mr. Allen didn't keep me in the dark about what was going on - he was constantly keeping me informed of what they were going to be doing and that was a very nice touch. The quote he gave me...

S & L showed up on time the day we were scheduled to begin work and started promptly. They took care to try and minimize tearing up the yard since it was still a little wet. They took the time to make the new concrete match the existing driveway and patio by grade and surface finish. There are...
