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: How common are concrete shrinkage cracks?

• <div><p>Concrete shrinkage cracks are very common and should be expected. Even professionals end up with shrinkage cracks on newly poured concrete slabs. Remember that these cracks are not harmful to the slab's strength, though some homeowners do prefer to fill in the cracks for aesthetics. When installing concrete, you can avoid ample concrete shrinkage cracks by avoiding hot, sunny, or windy days.</p></div>

Q: When is concrete moisture testing most necessary?

• <div><p>When you are laying <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-humidity-affects-your-hardwood-flooring.htm">hardwood flooring</a>&mdash;or any other material that does not flex well with humidity&mdash;you will want to check the moisture level of your subfloor before proceeding. Flooring like luxury vinyl tile and bamboo performs better than more rigid materials in environments where moisture might be present. However, thorough testing is always an excellent preventative measure to control and monitor water in your home.</p></div>

Q: Is fence post foam as strong as concrete?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/expanding-foam-vs-concrete-posts.htm">fence post foam versus concrete</a>, concrete is considered more durable and stronger. Concrete is a stronger material that can handle larger amounts of weight, making it a good choice for load-bearing posts. For posts on smaller fences or fences made with lighter materials, like vinyl or wire mesh, post foam is a good choice.</p></div>

Q: Is a concrete slab a footing?

• <div><p>A floating concrete slab is considered a footing since it distributes the weight of the structure to the soil, but not all concrete slabs are considered footings. For example, a T-shaped slab includes separate footings below the slab that support the concrete above and push the load further down into the ground. In that case, the slab would not be considered a footing.</p></div>

Excellent! Great communication, they met me at the nursery and transported my trees to my house and planted them all. Will definitely use them in the future for concrete and more landscaping as we build out our backyard.

Wonderful. I called to request an estimate of new windows. We replaced the window with new ones. Our electric bill each month had gone down around $20.00 each month. The noise level is great. Easy to clean. Love them.

"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."
