Should I patch, resurface, or replace my concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete blemishes such as chipped steps or small cracks are fixable with patching. For bigger jobs, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">driveway repair</a> and cracks wider than a 1/4 of an inch, patches will only serve as a temporary fix. Resurfacing is ideal when the surface is showing more widespread wear—like if it’s pitted, rough, or has lots of cracks. Resurfacing gives your concrete a fresh, like-new appearance without needing a full replacement.</p><p>When the concrete is severely cracked, sinking, or otherwise structurally unsound, replacing it might be your best option. Replacement ensures the safety and longevity of the surface in this case. </p></div>

What is the lifespan of concrete floors?

• <div><p>Concrete floors can last 50 to 75 years or more when properly sealed and maintained. Some concrete finishes, like polished concrete, will need to be refinished periodically—depending on the finish and foot traffic, you may need to refinish or reseal your concrete floors every five to 20 years. Keeping the concrete properly sealed will prevent damage and extend the lifespan of your concrete floors. </p></div>

Q: Does concrete weaken with age?

• <div><p>Like all building materials, concrete weakens with age due to temperature changes, moisture, and cracks that widen over time. Keep in mind that there are ways to keep your concrete strong by resealing it every two to three years, avoiding harsh cleaning chemicals, and addressing small cracks as quickly as possible.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a footing under a Lally column?

• <div><p>Lally columns do require some kind of footing to ensure they have a strong enough base to provide the support they need to deliver, and, at the very least, they need to attach to the floor below. Some contractors will just use the existing foundation as a footing for temporary Lally columns, while some circumstances demand that the expert install a new footing. You might need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/structural-engineers/">local structural engineer</a> to weigh in on which is best for your project.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a driveway apron be?

• <div><p>Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage. </p></div>
