Q: How long does concrete last?

• <div><p>In general, you can expect concrete to last <b>30 to 50 years</b>. However, the type of concrete, site prep, and climate all affect how long concrete lasts. The proper removal of rocks and tree roots before installation can prevent cracks later on. While concrete takes little maintenance, repairing small cracks as they appear can also extend the life of the concrete. </p></div>

Q: What is the best concrete crack sealer?

• <div><p>You have different options depending on the scale of repair needed. If you are repairing minor cracks that are between &frac14; inch to 1.5 inch wide and less than half an inch deep, a self-leveling polyurethane sealant would be your best choice. Polyurethane sealants dry to the touch within one to two hours. Since they come in a tube applier, you also have the option to complete the repair without emptying out your garage.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove concrete sealer?

• <div><p>To remove solvent-based sealer, you can pressure wash the surface and wait for the concrete to dry. You may need a special remover product if you have a water-based concrete sealer. Another option is to etch and neutralize the concrete. </p></div>

Q: How much does concrete cost per yard?

• <div><p>The average cost of concrete by cubic yard is about $130 , falling in a range of $110 to $150 . If you&rsquo;re looking to pour concrete over a smaller area, you may be able to pay per cubic foot of concrete, which would make the overall cost less expensive. It&rsquo;s also possible to pay for a truckload of concrete, if your project calls for it.</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.
