Will vinegar remove old concrete sealant?

• <div><p>Vinegar has become popular because it’s wallet-friendly, easy to find, and sounds like a great alternative to harsh chemicals and expensive machinery. However, vinegar isn’t strong enough to remove concrete sealant. Sealants can resist acid, and vinegar is a much weaker acid than chemical removal agents. And worse, vinegar can damage concrete by dulling it and causing pitting.</p></div>

Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it’s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder. Additionally, you should only use this method if you’re working on a smaller area, like a countertop, rounding an edge, removing imperfections, or doing a spot repair versus a driveway or patio.</p></div>

Q: Will vinegar remove old concrete sealant?

Q: How much do demolition services cost?

• <div><p>Demolition services vary in cost based on the scope of your project, but the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-demolish-house.htm">cost to demolish a house</a> is around <b>$15,500</b> for a 1,500-square-foot house. You can also use a per-square-foot price for demolition to get a good estimate, and you can expect to pay between <b>$4 and $17</b> per square foot. Several other factors that play a role in your pricing, including the following:</p><ul><li><p>Permit costs in your area</p></li><li><p>Building material disposal method</p></li><li><p>Machinery rental costs</p></li><li><p>Lot size</p></li><li><p>Proximity to nearby structures</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How serious is concrete spalling?

• <div><p>Concrete spalling can be fairly serious, especially if left untreated or in a public area. It can be a tripping hazard and, if not resolved, can lead to structural instability.</p></div>

Q: Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it&rsquo;s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder. Additionally, you should only use this method if you&rsquo;re working on a smaller area, like a countertop, rounding an edge, removing imperfections, or doing a spot repair versus a driveway or patio.</p></div>

Q: How do I estimate concrete removal?

• <div><p>To estimate concrete removal costs, determine the area of the concrete by multiplying the width and length. The result will give you the square footage. Then, multiply the square footage by the cost of concrete removal, which is $2 to $6 per square foot for concrete up to 6 inches thick. For thicker concrete, double the square footage costs to get your estimate. </p><p>Disposal costs are often factored into the cost per square foot, but check your contract. If concrete disposal is not included, you&rsquo;ll pay $50 to $100 per ton.</p></div>

"This company came in and replaced a botched job done by an unscrupulous concrete contractor. Curb Sol did the demolition of that job and replaced it with exactly what I requested.
