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>

Q: Should fence post concrete be above ground?

• <div><p>Ideally, your concrete should set slightly above ground at an angle sloping away from the fence post. This will add extra support and allow water to run away from the wood fence post. Keeping water out will help prevent wood rot. Additionally, you can add soil on top of the concrete for a seamless finish. </p></div>

Q: What driveway materials last the longest?

• <div><p>Pavers last longer than both concrete and asphalt when well cared for. Since you can place individual pavers that suffer damage, you won't need to repave the entire driveway for an average of up to 50 years. However, the best material for you comes down to your local climate and budget.</p></div>

Q: How to dry concrete quickly?

• <div><p>Use a dehumidifier for indoor concrete and a wet vacuum for outdoor surfaces. Sprinkle absorbent materials like sawdust or cat litter to soak up the remaining moisture. If the concrete is outside, simply wait for a few hot, dry days. If the concrete is inside, make sure you have good ventilation for a few days so that any remaining moisture can completely dry out.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove carpet padding glue from concrete?

• <div><p>To remove carpet padding glue from concrete, scrape away as much of the top layers as possible with a sharp-edged scraper or putty knife. You can be more aggressive on a concrete floor than on hardwood, so scrape off as much as possible. Then you can soak the area with hot water for a few minutes before continuing to scrape. If there is still glue left behind, use a solvent that is made to remove adhesives and apply it to the area. Then scrape the rest of the glue off.</p></div>

It was a pleasure meeting and working with Ben and his crew. We had a fairly small job, but they gave it their full attention. Quality work and great outcome. We will certainly think of Ben for any future concrete work. We would highly recommend Ben and crew for any job, big or small.
