Q: Can you pour the footing and foundation together?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour the footings for your foundation and the foundation system itself together, in which case the footing acts as the foundation. Some common examples of foundations where you might pour the footings simultaneously include floating slab foundations and monolithic slab foundations. Both lack traditional footings underneath the slab, so these foundation types are considered footings.</p></div>

Q: Does fumigation go through walls?

• <div><p>While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space. </p></div>

Q: Should a masonry contractor be licensed?

• <div><p>Yes, you should hire a mason who&rsquo;s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local mason guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; badge. Angi Certified businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What can you pour concrete over?

• <div><p>The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.</p></div>

Q: Should I pour a concrete wall or use cinder blocks?

• <div><p>With proper installation and sealing, both poured concrete and cinder block walls can be durable options for your yard or home. Poured concrete walls do offer more durability and strength, but cinder block walls are less expensive to build and DIY. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-concrete-wall.htm">A concrete wall costs</a> an average of <b>$6,500</b>.</p></div>

"Giovanni and his team removed the paint from my three house chimneys I had asked him to paint over the white and he thought I would be happier to have the chimney's restored to the origingal brick boy was he correct. While up on the roof he cleared it of moss and dirt, cleaned and repainted my 6 dormers. . His price was lower than other quotes I got. I got a fixed price for the project yet when he did somethings he thought needed to be done - like power wash my garage doors and side he didn't ask for more money. Giovanni doesn't speak English however his assistant Arlette was in constant contact with me translating and orchestrating conversations between us. She texted me when the guys would come and leave. For my barn roof painting project Giovanni pointed out that I had to shore it up. He was correct. I feared the worst. But he reinforced beams and made the entire barn secure by installing steel beams I had between three of the support beams. The price to do this was VERY reasonable. Most contractors overdo projects then charge for it. The photo is of the back of my barn which had a rotting overhang. He saved the gutter (most would had wanted to replace it) ripped down the useless overhang, installed metal sheeting along the face and reinstalled the gutter."
