Can I do concrete work myself?

• <div><p>For handy homeowners, concrete projects are DIYable, and DIYing is a good way to save on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">cost of a concrete slab</a>, walkway, or other concrete work. If you’re completing a larger project or one that’s subject to building codes, you should always hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly. </p></div>

How much does a concrete slab cost?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.hml">concrete slab costs</a> between <b>$3,600 and $7,200</b>. The price can fall outside of this range if you need a slab that’s thicker than normal, or if you want or need reinforcements, like steel rebar. In some cases, you may be able to purchase a prefabricated concrete slab that is delivered to you already poured.</p></div>

Q: Do concrete pools crack?

• <div><p>Concrete pools are very durable but can crack if not properly maintained. The most significant risk is winter weather and low temperatures when water can seep into crevices and freeze. To avoid damage, use the proper winterization chemicals, and don&rsquo;t completely drain your pool. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-pool-repairs-cost.htm">Concrete pool repairs cost</a> around <b>$75 per linear foot</b> for small cracks.</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: Should I use mortar or concrete for a chimney crown?

• <div><p>You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.</p></div>
