Why is my concrete cracking?

• <div><p>Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">cracks on new concrete</a> more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-concrete-cracks.htm">repair concrete cracks</a> for you.</p></div>

Can you live with a cracked foundation?

• <div><p>Yes, you can live with a cracked foundation—in fact, most people do. Virtually all foundations crack from normal settlement, and while settling cracks benefit from sealing to prevent water and moisture intrusion, most aren’t an issue. If you have structural cracks in your foundation, it might be safe to live in your home for some time, but you should address them immediately to prevent structure collapse and major property damage. </p></div>

What is the average cost to repair a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracks-concrete-driveway-repair-vs-replace.htm">cost to repair a concrete driveway</a> is between $830 and $2,800, but your costs depend on the extent of the damage. For instance, raising or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-leveling-cost-effective-alternative.htm">leveling concrete</a> costs $3 to $25 per square foot, while resurfacing your driveway may cost $3 to $5 per square foot. Meanwhile, small cracks may only cost between $0.10 and $0.15 per linear foot and can be DIYed with synthetic crack filler. </p></div>

Shawn cleaned my house gutters and repaired seams that needed attention. There were trim boards adjacent to the gutters that were showing signs of wear and they were caulked. They will be ready for paint in the spring. Shawn is pleasant. Knowledgeable, and showed up when he said he would.

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.

I am very impressed with the work. He was also able to complete the work in two weeks and also kept to the estimate. The team that came out to do the repair was very professional, curteous, and worked clean. I would recommend Anthony Simaitis to others.
