Q: How does spraying concrete with water help it cure successfully?

• <div><p>Yes, spraying water on the surface helps concrete cure evenly by preventing the top layer from curing long before the wet bottom layer cures. Otherwise, the top layer will cure and shrink, creating tension, and this tension will tear the top and bottom layers apart, creating a weakened slab. Water prevents this from occurring.</p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: Are polished concrete floors worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, polished concrete floors are worth it for homeowners who want durability, style, and low maintenance in one sleek flooring surface. You get the modern visual appeal of stone or tile with far less upkeep and far less cost. Polished concrete flooring is tough enough for high-traffic areas, it&rsquo;s a great choice for people with allergies, and it&rsquo;s easy to clean. If your existing concrete is in good shape, polishing it can give you solid value that shines on for years.</p></div>

Q: Do you need rebar in concrete steps?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete steps need rebar to reinforce the structure and ensure it can hold weight over time. Place a lattice of rebar inside the form before pouring concrete to give the steps their maximum strength. Tie each intersection together with rebar ties to hold the structure all together. Without rebar, concrete steps can sink, crumble, and lose their longevity.</p></div>

I recently had a Level 2 EV charger installed by Blackout Electric, and I could not be happier with the service! From start to finish, Haendley was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.

It was similar to my last experience. They came in a timely manner. They gave me a range of creative options and price levels to complete the job. Then they completed the job on time and on budget. The project included painting, tile work, and carpentry.

Overall the job went well. It took two men about 4 hours from start to finish. Good cleanup afterward. Had to let the concrete set for 24 hours before driving on the floor and let the walls set 5 days before cutting off plastic filler tubes.
