Is it worth it to make your own concrete?

• <div><p>It depends on whether you think it is worth it to make your own concrete. While you can save a lot of money making your own concrete and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pouring your own concrete slab</a>, it's an advanced DIY. Adding too much or too little water can offset the savings of skipping the professional, as the wrong mixture will not allow the concrete to cure properly for your unique project.</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: What is the difference between scaling and spalling concrete?

• <div><p>While the two are similar, spalling occurs from deeper within the concrete than scaling does, causing larger fragmentation on the surface.</p></div>

Q: Can I just use cement on its own?

• <div><p>No, cement cannot be used on its own except for rare circumstances, as it's only a binder to form other products, such as concrete or mortar. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to create a concrete or mortar mix. Concrete, for instance, needs cement, water, and aggregates such as sand and gravel. Using the right amount of water and water temperature is essential to ensure you have the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slump.htm">concrete slump</a> and the mix spreads easily and cures well. </p></div>

Q: How long does a resurfaced concrete driveway last?

• <div><p>Resurfaced concrete can last anywhere from eight to 15 years on average. Just <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-concrete-resurfacing-lasts.htm">how long your resurface concrete driveway lasts</a> depends on how often you seal the concrete, the amount of traffic, how well the concrete resurfacer was applied, and even the soil quality. Poor soil that led to premature cracks in your existing concrete can quickly lead to even more cracks and problems if you don&rsquo;t fix the root cause of the cracked concrete. </p></div>

Jose and his crew removed concrete around my pool and re-poured new concrete. They did a great job and the area looks great. Jose is very easy to work with and honest and fair. I would recommend this company for any of your Concrete needs.

Our level of comfort immediately increased afterwards and the cost savings was actually substantial, which I didn't expect. Can't beat being more comfortable and paying lower utilities ($75 - $100) per month.

Eugene's Wigginton's and his crew arrived on time exactly, if not a few minutes early. They went to work right away and worked the entire time. Nobody slacked off for even a second, and it was a HOT day. They obviously knew exactly what they were doing and they poured the perfect 41x12 slab....

"I live in an antebellum house, built in 1837. Over the past 175 years some of the bricks underneath the fireplace in the living room and gathering room had crumbled. The floor needed repairs and leveling. I contacted 4 companies to evaluate the problem and develop a solution. Luke Griffin, with Mr. Foundation, was the only person who actually went under the house and took pictures of the problem for us to see. We were able to see what was happening at the fireplaces. He then studied the problem and the next day offered us a solution. They came and installed steel beams with stainless steel jacks, leveled the floors and resolved the problem. I tell people an elephant now could jump up and down on the floors. Would I recommend Mr. Foundation?? 100%!!! And, FYI, their price was considerably less than two of the other companies."
