Get matched with top patio pros in Benton, ME

Q: What do you put between pavers and concrete?

• <div><p>You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you&rsquo;d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best type of driveway for the snow?

• <div><p>Asphalt driveways are affordable and able to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The asphalt surface makes it easy to plow snow, and it has excellent traction for slippery winter days. Another benefit: it absorbs heat from the sun and can then help to melt snow and ice more quickly than other surfaces.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can I put on my concrete patio?

• <div><p>A properly installed 6-inch concrete slab, mixed and cured under the right conditions, can support about 3,000 pounds concentrated over a single square foot without buckling. Conversely, concrete pavers can handle around 8,000 pounds per square inch when laid over a solid, well-compacted base. </p></div>

Q: What are the most important questions to ask a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.</p></div>

Ken is a great worker. He does exactly what you need and will add ideas that will suite best for you (with your consent of course). He can see a project before it even happens and map the whole thing out in his head and it comes out better than you could imagine. Great guy who makes the process...

Noah exceeded my expectations at a competitive price . Clear communication, and fast! His estimate was spot on and it was clean and professional work. Noah did a 60amp sub panel install for my new garage, and also wired in four new outlets in my basement as I only had one down there. Thanks...

Mr. Rose was quick and dependable and did an excellent job on a very difficult room: walls and vaulted a ceiling which has many non-standard angles. I will hire him again and highly recommend him.
