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: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you&rsquo;d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.</p></div>

Q: Should you use concrete to set fence posts?

• <div><p>You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.</p></div>

Q: Are polished concrete floors worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, polished concrete floors are worth it for homeowners who want durability, style, and low maintenance in one sleek flooring surface. You get the modern visual appeal of stone or tile with far less upkeep and far less cost. Polished concrete flooring is tough enough for high-traffic areas, it&rsquo;s a great choice for people with allergies, and it&rsquo;s easy to clean. If your existing concrete is in good shape, polishing it can give you solid value that shines on for years.</p></div>

Q: Is it more expensive to maintain a concrete or asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">cost of asphalt driveway repair</a> is usually similar to the cost of average concrete driveway repairs, but maintaining asphalt tends to be less expensive on a per-instance basis. For example, resurfacing asphalt costs about $1 less per square foot, but it doesn&rsquo;t last as long as concrete and will need more frequent repairs. An asphalt driveway lasts 20 to 25 years, but a well-maintained concrete driveway can last twice as long, so the maintenance costs and timeline even out. </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”.

It went very well. They masked off the garage walls and concrete sidewalks to prevent over-spray. They put up a barrier to keep vehicles off the driveway. This is a family operated business and I have dealt with them in the past. They are very professional and extremely honest to deal with. ...

"They did great job on install. But within a month it started crumbling, getting holes. Salt never out on driveway and all instructions followed. Every month that has gone by, the driveway has crumbled. Years later there are numerous holes, cracks, gravel exposed and other issues. Was told couldn’t do anything but seal again. Was told could have been bad concrete mix, but not worth it trying to fix. I think it was great experience, until the driveway started crumbling a month later. My driveway looks terrible. Compared to older and newer ones in neighborhood. It is still deterring now. Very disappointing outcome. Should have gone with lower priced vendor. Versa lock wall put in also bowing."
