Does a concrete walkway or sidewalk need rebar?

• <div><p>Whether a concrete walkway or sidewalk needs rebar depends on how it will be used. Walkways and sidewalks meant for light foot traffic don’t need rebar, and you can use wire mesh instead. But concrete surfaces that will see heavy machinery will likely need it.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete over old concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour new concrete over old concrete, but you need to apply a concrete bonding agent to the existing concrete to ensure the new concrete sticks. Keep in mind that even with a bonding agent, large cracks and other flaws will still come through. If the concrete has heaved, settled, or cracked, pouring new concrete on top won&rsquo;t address any root structural problems. Removing the existing concrete and rebuilding will be your best solution in that case.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to seal concrete before tiling?

• <div><p>Sealing the concrete before tiling is recommended to help it stand up against any water that may seep through the tiles or grout. After thoroughly cleaning the concrete with TSP, priming with a concrete primer will seal the concrete. Check the label on the primer to make sure it is also a sealant and follow the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for application.</p></div>

Q: How does spraying concrete with water help it cure successfully?

• <div><p>Yes, spraying water on the surface helps concrete cure evenly by preventing the top layer from curing long before the wet bottom layer cures. Otherwise, the top layer will cure and shrink, creating tension, and this tension will tear the top and bottom layers apart, creating a weakened slab. Water prevents this from occurring.</p></div>

Q: Is masonry more expensive than concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it&rsquo;s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.</p></div>

The concrete garage floor is awesome and is so much nicer than the DIRT floor that was there originally. Since the floor was dirt there became a slight pitch situation with the concrete floor, Matt and his crew adjust the slope of the floor, however I particularly loss the use of the access...

We did not hire. We decided to use another contractor who uses steel wide supports rather than just the newer method that Taylor Concrete uses.

"Trevor and his crew had come and scoped the job giving us an estimate. After we agreed they were chosen to the work, we were given a starting date. The crew showed up on time and worked for two and a half days to prepare the area for the patio extension and build a beautiful retaining wall for the area that set back into the hill. The stairs to the front door were replaced with newly constructed rebar and structural elements that will last for many more years than the original stair that only lasted 24 years. The new stairs now match the full width of the front porch which now looks much more symmetrical. The pad leading up to the stairs was enlarged and lengthened. They came back on the third day and the concrete was poured and finished. When they finished the work they made sure they cleaned up the job site and left everything as it was before. Trevor and his crew did an excellent job and we are so happy with how the job turned out and we highly recommend them for any work you may need completed."
