Q: What should I consider when pouring a new concrete slab?

• <div><p>When pouring a new concrete slab, you should consider how additional costs will affect your total, including reinforcements, decorative enhancements, finishing, and curing. It's also important to consider local laws regarding the grade, drainage, and permits for installing concrete on your property. Speak with your professional about the ideal thickness for your slab, and also consider whether you&rsquo;ll need drainage for slab longevity.</p></div>

Q: Is asphalt a type of concrete?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">type of concrete</a>. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">differences between asphalt and concrete driveways</a>.</p></div>

Q: What type of concrete stain is best?

• <div><p><b>Acid-based concrete stain</b> is generally considered the best option because it lasts about four times as long and penetrates the deepest into concrete to give richer, full-bodied colors. If you prefer more vibrant colors, though, many water-based concrete stains are available that could provide a solution you can't find from earth-toned acid-based solutions.</p></div>

Q: How long do concrete houses last?

• <div><p>Concrete houses will last for between 75 and 150 years, depending on the environmental factors in your area. Unlike lumber in stick-built houses, concrete doesn&rsquo;t rot, and it&rsquo;s more resistant to wildfires and earthquake damage, so you&rsquo;ll almost always get a longer lifespan from a concrete house than you would a traditionally framed one.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to make concrete forms?

• <div><p>For most homeowners, wood and wood screws are the best materials to make concrete forms because they&rsquo;re affordable, readily available, and easy to work with. Steel is a better concrete form material because you can use it thousands of times for repeated work, but this is most useful in commercial applications where one job is necessary many times over.</p></div>

Patrick and his team were great! We had to get new concrete added in our backyard and they were able to start right away, did a wonderful job and got it done quickly. This is the second time we have worked with Capitol Hill Masonry and had great experiences both times.

In November, Creative Concrete replaced our sidewalk and steps with stamped concrete. I\'m not normally pasionate about sidewalks or concrete, but we love it. Four months later, we regularly look at the walkway and say how glad we are that we did it. We were impressed by the quality,...

It was a tough job! The floor was in worse shape than we thought. Allison and her crew worked hard to make it as good as possible at a reasonable price. I think there was a little bit of a learning curve, but there are not many companies who do stained concrete residential floors on brownstones.
