How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Building a concrete driveway normally takes between one and three days, including the time to cure the concrete. Wait at least seven days <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-before-drive-on-concrete.htm">before driving on your driveway</a> and two days before walking on it. Your contractor may require additional time if you need to level the ground, install a drainage system, or order special concrete materials. Installing a driveway also often requires a permit, so be sure to include this wait into your prep time as well.</p></div>

Can you pour concrete over an existing basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete basement floor to save time and money on fully ripping out an existing concrete slab. However, it’s not a perfect solution, so consult a pro before moving forward. You must take specific measurements, and these kinds of floors don’t have the same longevity.</p></div>

Q: What is the downside of sealing concrete?

• <div><p>The biggest downside of sealing concrete is that it needs to be resealed every few years. This routine maintenance can be laborious if you do it yourself and expensive if you hire a professional. Beyond that, sealing concrete can make the surface slippery, which can be dangerous with people with mobility issues, young children, or those with pools near their patios.</p></div>

Q: Does concrete change color while curing?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete changes color while curing, moving from a dark shade when wet to a lighter shade once dry and fully cured. Wait at least 10 days after pouring the concrete to gauge the color of the final concrete. If the concrete remains dark or discolored after that period, reach out to your concrete contractor with questions.</p></div>
