What adds more value: a concrete driveway or an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Asphalt driveways are less expensive to install, but concrete driveways will add more value to your home over time. Because concrete is more durable and has a longer lifespan than asphalt, it’s considered a more desirable driveway material. Both materials will add more value than a gravel driveway, but concrete wins out due to its strength and longevity.</p></div>

Is an asphalt or concrete driveway better?

• <div><p>Asphalt can get sticky in high temperatures and intense sunlight and is better for cooler or moderate climates, while concrete is more likely to crack in colder climates where water can seep into the slab and freeze. Asphalt requires more maintenance in terms of sealing, it has a slightly shorter lifespan, on average, and it’s a bit more expensive to install. Concrete will last longer with less maintenance, and it offers you more options for customization, including staining and stamped patterns. As such, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-concrete-driveway-increase-home-value.htm">concrete driveway adds to home value</a> more than an asphalt driveway in many cases. </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: What are different types of masonry?

• <div><p>Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.</p></div>

Q: Does a lamppost need concrete as a base?

• <div><p>Yes, lampposts need a concrete base. The concrete base provides a stable foundation for the lamppost, which can be heavy from the weight of the light fixture and other accessories. A concrete base also provides structural support for the lamppost, keeping it from sinking into the ground or tipping over in the wind. </p></div>

They took the extra time needed to fit the gasket at the bottom of the door to the floor which was not level (especially noteworthy since it was SO cold that day). I also appreciate that they did not try to up-sell me to options I didn't need or want. Would definitely hire again.
