What is the life expectancy of concrete log siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a>, so you’ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you’ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.</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>

Q: Do you need a footing under a Lally column?

• <div><p>Lally columns do require some kind of footing to ensure they have a strong enough base to provide the support they need to deliver, and, at the very least, they need to attach to the floor below. Some contractors will just use the existing foundation as a footing for temporary Lally columns, while some circumstances demand that the expert install a new footing. You might need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/structural-engineers/">local structural engineer</a> to weigh in on which is best for your project.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to make concrete forms?

• <div><p>For most homeowners, wood and wood screws are the best materials to make concrete forms because they&rsquo;re affordable, readily available, and easy to work with. Steel is a better concrete form material because you can use it thousands of times for repeated work, but this is most useful in commercial applications where one job is necessary many times over.</p></div>

Q: How long should new concrete last before cracking?

• <div><p>New concrete can crack within 12 hours of finishing, as it can be a common occurrence as the concrete dries and cures. Certain weather conditions and temperatures can slow or speed up the cracking. A concrete contractor plans for cracking during the drying process and keeps some of it at bay by installing control joints.</p></div>
