Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete. </p></div>

Q: Will sealer waterproof my garage floor?

• <div><p>Concrete sealers will help your garage floors resist water, but they will not make the floor waterproof. You will need to purchase a specific waterproof floor paint for concrete and apply several coats over several days if you want your garage floor to be truly impermeable. While the process is similar to sealing the floors, the materials are different, and the need for multiple coats will extend the process and drying time.</p></div>

Q: Is asphalt less expensive than concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, asphalt is less expensive than concrete. Asphalt prices range between <b>$7 </b>and <b>$15 per square foot</b>, whereas concrete costs <b>$3 to $18 per square foot</b>. When considering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">asphalt versus concrete driveways</a>, you&rsquo;ll want to weigh more than just the costs. While concrete costs more, it costs less to maintain. On the other hand, asphalt has the advantages of a quick installation and shorter drying time. </p></div>

Q: How common are concrete shrinkage cracks?

• <div><p>Concrete shrinkage cracks are very common and should be expected. Even professionals end up with shrinkage cracks on newly poured concrete slabs. Remember that these cracks are not harmful to the slab's strength, though some homeowners do prefer to fill in the cracks for aesthetics. When installing concrete, you can avoid ample concrete shrinkage cracks by avoiding hot, sunny, or windy days.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete homes fireproof?

• <div><p>Concrete homes have better fire resistance because this material is highly resistant to fire and heat. But any paint, siding, windows, roofing, or other materials on a concrete home may still be flammable. Never try to stay in a building with a large, active fire or a wildfire approaching because this can still be deadly. However, building a fireproof home with concrete can better protect the structure against total destruction.</p></div>

It went superbly. The concrete looked like new and all the algae and moss were removed from the house. I was so delighted, I immediately told my next door neighbor who contracted, on the spot, for power washing of two sides of her house. I later told many neighbors and friends, as well.

The estimate from Concrete Jack came in about 80% below any other contractor that had given me an estimate. That's right, a 1/5th of the price!! The estimator, Kirk, was very knowledgeable and professional. He performed very quick and accurate diagnostic work and had a quote to me the next day!...
