Should concrete contractors be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete contractors should be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed concrete contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. States have different requirements for concrete contractor licensing, so be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div> • <div><p>Certification or licensing doesn’t always ensure a quality job. I have been in the business for over 30 years, and I have worked on concrete for over 40 years, but I am not licensed or certified. I was the Construction Manager for the Texas Department of Transportation for over 15 years. I am considered a “Concrete Guru” due to my overall knowledge of concrete construction, and I have written concrete construction practice manuals still in use today. While I agree with the other parts of the answer, I don’t think licensing or certification should be mandatory. Some people may be taught how to do things correctly, but they don’t always follow through. Sometimes, people can cut corners to save on costs.</p></div>

Is an asphalt or concrete driveway better?

• <div><p>Asphalt can get sticky in high temperatures and intense sunlight and is better for cooler or moderate climates, while concrete is more likely to crack in colder climates where water can seep into the slab and freeze. Asphalt requires more maintenance in terms of sealing, it has a slightly shorter lifespan, on average, and it’s a bit more expensive to install. Concrete will last longer with less maintenance, and it offers you more options for customization, including staining and stamped patterns. As such, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-concrete-driveway-increase-home-value.htm">concrete driveway adds to home value</a> more than an asphalt driveway in many cases. </p></div>

Will my freshly poured concrete wall crack?

• <div><p>Newly poured concrete is prone to small, fine cracks within the first 30 days of installation, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">most noticeable cracks will disappear</a> within that time frame. If a crack is greater than 1 inch, consider contacting the person who installed your wall to inspect the job. </p></div>

Q: What driveway materials last the longest?

• <div><p>Pavers last longer than both concrete and asphalt when well cared for. Since you can place individual pavers that suffer damage, you won't need to repave the entire driveway for an average of up to 50 years. However, the best material for you comes down to your local climate and budget.</p></div>

Q: Do metal fence posts need concrete?

• <div><p>Whether metal fence posts need concrete depends on the environment and the ground they're placed on. For thick earth and areas without significant weather or high wind, you can get by without concrete, but in areas with weak dirt and strong seasonal weather, it's a good idea to install a concrete base on each individual post. This increases the cost but not as much as replacing or reinstalling the fence would. </p></div>
