Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </p></div>

Q: How do I raise my house to make foundation repairs?

• <div><p>In order to raise your home to make foundation repairs, you'll need to bring in a structural engineer to help you design the project. You'll also need to see if you're eligible for the permits needed, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/foundation-contractors/">contact a foundation repair company near you</a>.</p></div>

Q: When should you walk away from foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems are costly to repair, but if you already own the home, you can either handle the issues or allow the property to (literally) sink into disrepair. The opposite is true when buying a home. Walk away if the seller refuses to lower the asking price once foundation issues are exposed or if they refuse to handle the problems before the completion of the sale.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for foundation repairs?

• <div><p>Ensures structural stability and long-term safety of the building.</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>

I highly recommend Mitchell Masonry. Brent is very knowledgeable and does excellent work. Had new flashing installed as well as tuck pointing on my chimney. The concrete crown he installed on the chimney is a huge improvement over the original and looks great.

Beware of this contractor, do your homework. Steve is a personable guy and comes across very friendly but doesn't listen, cuts corners, and will defer you to his attorney if you have problems with his work. Our property is now de-valued because he was there. - Water lines all over the building...

I appreciated the thorough prep work including power washing, priming and making some minor repairs where wood had gone bad. The crew gave attention to details - Mike even did some special painting to make the decorative molding on the peak of the house “pop”.

I will never go to Kens Tires again. I spent over $2,000.00 there on multiple repairs on both of my vehicles. In only a couple months time, all the repairs they fixed were broke again. They didn't do anything for me, reimburse me, or even show little care about not properly fixing my vehicle....
