Q: What's the best way to melt ice without damaging concrete?

• <div><p>Natural ice melts can often get the job done without damaging concrete. You can try non-corrosive options such as kitty litter, alfalfa meal, coffee grounds, sugar beet juice, and heated snow-melting mats. While they may cause some staining, these natural melts are safe for concrete, pets, and the environment.</p></div>

Q: What services do cement companies offer?

• <div><p>Cement companies offer a wide variety of services, including delivering and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pouring concrete for home foundations</a>, walkways, patios, driveways, concrete steps, pools, pool decks, and more, plus concrete repair and patching. Most companies also have the ability to demolish and haul away old concrete landscaping features. It&rsquo;s a good idea to reach out to a few different companies before hiring to make sure you choose one that can tackle the entirety of the project you have from start to finish. This method will typically save you some money over hiring multiple contractors. </p></div>

Q: How does concrete not stick to formwork?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don&rsquo;t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won&rsquo;t stick to the concrete after it&rsquo;s cured.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for pool concrete to set?

• <div><p>Pool concrete or gunite can take several weeks to cure, or an average of 30 days, before workers can resume construction. Additional work and finishes push the time to build a pool out of concrete to between three and six months. There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> that take far less time, so keep these in mind if you're on a short timeline. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;re well-maintained. </p></div>

Mike did a great job. The concrete looks perfect. The slant is just right and the lines are straight. Mike doesn't shortcut on his jobs. He takes his time and is just as particular as the customer. Mike has done several jobs for us and they have all turned out very nice.
