Can I remove a fireplace without removing the chimney?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you can remove the fireplace structure and leave the chimney in place. You just would need to seal it at the bottom where it connected the fireplace. You’d also need to cap it at the top. However, you probably should consult with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/chimney-inspection/">local chimney inspection specialist</a> to determine whether the structural integrity of the chimney will allow it to remain safely in place without the support of the fireplace.</p></div>

Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it’s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder. Additionally, you should only use this method if you’re working on a smaller area, like a countertop, rounding an edge, removing imperfections, or doing a spot repair versus a driveway or patio.</p></div>

Q: Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it&rsquo;s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder. Additionally, you should only use this method if you&rsquo;re working on a smaller area, like a countertop, rounding an edge, removing imperfections, or doing a spot repair versus a driveway or patio.</p></div>

Q: How long does concrete removal take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 4-12 hours, but larger projects may require multiple days.</p></div>

Q: Can you install a trench drain in existing concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of chunks of concrete?

• <div><p>Once your concrete is broken down into chunks, it is time to remove it. The easiest way to do this is to hire a concrete hauler or junk removal service&mdash;however, this is also the most costly option. Taking it to a landfill yourself is cheaper but much more work. Posting a classified ad or enquiring with local landscaping companies or concrete suppliers are more sustainable options, but only if you find an interested party to recycle the concrete for another construction project.</p></div>

We had a pretty big project, removing an old camp roof and building a new roof rotated 90 degrees, and adding a loft area. We were very happy with Andrew and his crew. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right - they don&amp;#39;t cut corners and take pride in their...

"This company came in and replaced a botched job done by an unscrupulous concrete contractor. Curb Sol did the demolition of that job and replaced it with exactly what I requested. Clean job and very professional. In Maine it's hard to find trustworthy, fair contractors. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks in particular to David Shorey the point man for Curb Sol. He was very responsive and on top of things all the way through the process. Thank you."
