Is it worth it to make your own concrete?

• <div><p>It depends on whether you think it is worth it to make your own concrete. While you can save a lot of money making your own concrete and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pouring your own concrete slab</a>, it's an advanced DIY. Adding too much or too little water can offset the savings of skipping the professional, as the wrong mixture will not allow the concrete to cure properly for your unique project.</p></div>

What lasts longer, a fiberglass or concrete pool?

• <div><p>Concrete pools have the longest life span. As long as you properly maintain your concrete pool, you can expect it to last 50 to 100 years. That said, you will need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/resurfacing-pool-eliminates-cut-feet-cracks-and-lost-water.htm">resurface your concrete pool</a> as it ages. Fiberglass is durable, but fiberglass pools generally only last around 25 to 30 years. That said, some high-end fiberglass pools can last more than 50 years if they’re well-maintained. </p></div>

Should fence posts be set in concrete?

Q: How much weight does a 4-inch concrete slab support?

• <div><p>A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you&rsquo;re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent concrete cracks from forming?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-prevent-concrete-cracks.htm">concrete cracks happen</a>, so there&rsquo;s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.</p></div>

A to Z did a great job - made sure plastic was up everywhere to keep dust as contained as possible and were as surgical as you could get with demolition of a concrete floor. Save us on tile replacement and cabinet repair/replacement. Worked with us every step of the way.
