Q: How long does concrete sealer last?

• <div><p>Epoxy and polyurethane sealers can last <b>five to 10 years</b>, while acrylic sealers last <b>two to three years</b> or more depending on the use, wear of the surface, and type of sealer you choose. Areas that see heavy traffic or extreme ice and snow may require more frequent sealing. Test your concrete every two years to gauge how it responds to absorbing water or if it fully repels it for longer than 20 seconds.</p></div>

Q: Are sidewalks concrete or cement?

• <div><p>Sidewalks are concrete, not cement. Cement is merely an ingredient of concrete. To pour a sidewalk, driveway, or patio, you need to form the right mixture of concrete using cement, aggregates, and water. Pouring concrete requires special tools such as a concrete mixer, compactor, screeds, and floats. Unless you're pouring a small area, it's best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hire-a-concrete-contractor.htm">hire a concrete pro</a> for a sidewalk or driveway project. </p></div>

Q: What goes under a floating deck?

• <div><p>What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it&rsquo;s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood. </p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</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>

The fence was put in earlier than expected. They put up the posts in concrete. They even reinforced the privacy fence that was loose! They built a gate onto the deck on sight. They cleaned up after themselves. I would use them again and I definitely would recommend them to my friends.
