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>

Q: How long does it take for water to damage concrete?

• <div><p>Water damage to concrete is often gradual and can take months, if not years, for a concrete structure to be fully destroyed. The process often starts with cracks on the surface, followed by sinking slabs and eventually crumbling cement. Therefore, it is important to repair minor damages early to prevent the situation from worsening.</p></div>

Q: What is the longest-lasting driveway material?

• <div><p>With an average lifespan of 30 years, concrete driveways last the longest of any material on the market. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s the go-to choice for most contractors throughout the nation. Gravel driveways can also last up to 30 years but require much more maintenance&mdash;and regularly buying and adding more gravel&mdash;to make it that long. </p></div>

Q: How do you know if concrete is fully cured?

• <div><p>You will know concrete is fully cured after 28 days when the new concrete reaches its maximum strength. Follow the cure time information on the manufacturer&rsquo;s label or ask your concrete pro about when your concrete is fully cured. You can drive your concrete once it&rsquo;s partially cured, usually around seven days after it&rsquo;s poured. After one week, the concrete is strong enough to hold up to regular-size vehicles.</p></div>

Q: Why remove grass before pouring concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.</p></div>
