How thick should you pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 2 inches thick to maintain its stability and quality. Most concrete slabs fall between 4 and 6 inches thick, but you should be careful not to make the new slab too high or heavy. If you're considering a stamped concrete overlay, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-tips-hire-best-stamped-concrete-contractor.htm">hire an experienced stamped concrete contractor</a> to determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-thick-should-a-concrete-patio-be.htm">ideal concrete thickness</a>. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between masonry and concrete?

• <div><p>Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">Types of concrete</a> applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect the drying time of concrete sealers?

• <div><p>Factors like the time of day you choose to seal the concrete, temperature, humidity, and airflow will impact drying time. To shorten the drying time, seal concrete in the late afternoon on a day with a temperature between 45 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.</p></div>

Q: Are hairline cracks in concrete a problem?

• <div><p>No, hairline cracks in concrete are generally not a problem as they do not impact the strength and longevity of the concrete. Generally, cracks less than 0.3 millimeter wide don&rsquo;t impact the structure. Hairline cracks can grow over time and weaken the structure, such as in a home foundation. Some hairline cracks can also cause leaks in a foundation. It&rsquo;s important to watch the cracks to see if they grow. Contact a concrete contractor if you notice cracks exceeding 0.3 millimeter wide.</p></div>

Q: What happens if there is too much moisture in concrete?

• <div><p>If the moisture level in your concrete flooring is higher than what is acceptable for your primer or flooring materials, then you are looking at dealing with major flooring issues down the road. From mold and mildew, to warping, buckling, bubbling, and soft spots, you could see a wide range of moisture-induced problems.</p><p>These issues can affect not just your flooring but your foundation too. That is why measuring moisture in concrete is so important before starting a project.</p></div>

The only problem is the replaced shingles are a LOT darker than the original. Original is a light grey and replaced ones are not close - almost a charcoal. That is okay because this is a rental property but I wouldn't want it on my house. Jose did let me know they wouldn't quite match...

The biggest problem with the whole job was that Jeff didn't keep an eye on his contractors. He essentially subcontracted all of the work, as many pool contractors do. As Jeff's office was about 40 miles from the job site, he wasn't really around too much to keep an eye on them and ensure they...
