Q: What is the life expectancy of concrete log siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a>, so you&rsquo;ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you&rsquo;ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.</p></div>

Q: How much does concrete floor installation cost?

• <div><p>Depending on the finish and area size, costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot. Decorative finishes increase costs.</p></div>

Q: Does spraying water on concrete help it cure?

• <div><p>Spraying water on concrete will slow down the curing process and can help create a stronger slab. Spraying your concrete may be necessary if you&rsquo;re pouring in hotter temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, if it&rsquo;s particularly windy, or if your new concrete is exposed to intense sunlight. Avoid spraying for the first four hours, and then spray five to 10 times a day for the following week. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete over old concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour new concrete over old concrete, but you need to apply a concrete bonding agent to the existing concrete to ensure the new concrete sticks. Keep in mind that even with a bonding agent, large cracks and other flaws will still come through. If the concrete has heaved, settled, or cracked, pouring new concrete on top won&rsquo;t address any root structural problems. Removing the existing concrete and rebuilding will be your best solution in that case.</p></div>

Q: How much weight does a 4-inch concrete slab support?

• <div><p>A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you&rsquo;re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.</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!...
