Q: What is the life expectancy of pervious concrete?

• <div><p>Pervious concrete can last from 20 to 40 years when properly mixed, poured, and maintained. Pervious concrete requires yearly maintenance to remove debris from the surface that can block the voids and interfere with effective drainage, but properly maintained pervious concrete can last as long as traditional concrete.</p></div>

Q: How long should concrete last before cracking?

• <div><p>Concrete cracks can occur at any time. Many cracks actually happen within a few hours or days of pouring the concrete because of mistakes made during the process; here are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">reasons for freshly poured concrete cracks</a>.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re nervous about causing cracks when pouring concrete, hire a pro to handle the work, rather than tackling it yourself. You can also prevent ongoing cracks by taking care of your concrete pathway or driveway with a little sealer. Here&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-you-seal-a-driveway.htm">how often to reseal your driveway</a> to reduce the risk of cracks.</p></div>

Q: Can a concrete patio be too thick?

• <div><p>In most cases, you&rsquo;ll want your patio to be 4 inches thick, although you should add reinforcement and increase the thickness up to around 8 inches if you want it to support heavier loads and resist cracking more readily. Although thicker slabs will cost more, you&rsquo;ll start seeing diminishing returns at around 6 inches.</p></div>

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: Is it normal to have cracks in your basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, all basement floors crack in response to the natural settlement of the soil around them and from concrete shrinkage as it cures, and you&rsquo;ll see hairline cracks as a result. However, you should keep an eye on your basement floor to see if cracks continue to lengthen or widen or show signs of water intrusion. In any of these cases, the problem is likely not settling or shrinkage, and a professional repair is necessary.</p></div>

Justin and his team did a great job on my 30 yr old driveway. Looks like new. Filled all cracks and crevices. Came back a second time to make sure the job was done right. If you need your driveway sealed, go with Essex Sealcoating.

Mark and the team were excellent at scoping a replacement driveway and - despite the supply chain issues in 2021 - came when they said they would. Fair price; great workmanship. I’d recommend them for residential paving.

These folks do not know how to do driveways. I believe they are just a seal coating company. The extension they added to my driveway was extremely poorly done. A medium size section was added, but they did it in 7 different chunks. I believe they were bringing in left over material from other...

neorThe actual application went very well. We had this company seal the driveway back in 2006 and it had held up very well. We decided that because the product and application was done well in 2006, we would do the driveway again with the same company. Over this past winter we noticed that...
