How thick should you pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 2 inches thick to maintain its stability and quality. Most concrete slabs fall between 4 and 6 inches thick, but you should be careful not to make the new slab too high or heavy. If you're considering a stamped concrete overlay, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-tips-hire-best-stamped-concrete-contractor.htm">hire an experienced stamped concrete contractor</a> to determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-thick-should-a-concrete-patio-be.htm">ideal concrete thickness</a>. </p></div>

Should I patch, resurface, or replace my concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete blemishes such as chipped steps or small cracks are fixable with patching. For bigger jobs, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">driveway repair</a> and cracks wider than a 1/4 of an inch, patches will only serve as a temporary fix. Resurfacing is ideal when the surface is showing more widespread wear—like if it’s pitted, rough, or has lots of cracks. Resurfacing gives your concrete a fresh, like-new appearance without needing a full replacement.</p><p>When the concrete is severely cracked, sinking, or otherwise structurally unsound, replacing it might be your best option. Replacement ensures the safety and longevity of the surface in this case. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain finished concrete?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, reseal every 2-3 years, and avoid abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the finish.</p></div>

Q: How long does efflorescence damage a concrete slab?

• <div><p>Efflorescence can damage a concrete slab for two to three years. After that, it resolves on its own once the surrounding salts are gone.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete leveling covered by insurance?

• <div><p>Concrete leveling is not typically covered by insurance. In some cases where the shifting concrete is caused by a natural disaster or storm, you may be able to file an insurance claim if your policy specifically covers those circumstances. In most cases, though, you&rsquo;ll pay out-of-pocket for concrete leveling.</p></div>

We hired Jim to cut a number of large diameter holes in our new house. We built a ICF (insulated concrete form) house and it was easier to drill the holes after the concrete was poured. Jim had no problems with the styrofoam. I think Jim has the experience to deal with any concrete cutting job...
