"I hired this company for the construction of my home from the concrete stage through framing. The foundation took months to complete. After the concrete had hardened and it was time to frame the company did not do their due diligence in finding lumber for framing in a timely manner and left my trusses rotting on the lot. The owner threatened to pull out of the contract all together because they weren’t getting paid ahead of time despite me paying as per our originally agreed upon payment schedule. When frames finally came and began to work, their quality of work was so bad that every contractor that has been here to work on the house since then has been disgusted and asked me “Who the h*** framed your house? They did a terrible job.” Im not in the sheet rocking phase and I am having to patch and rig it because none of the walls are straight. GC construction was also in charge of the roofing. For months buckets of water would flow into the home when it would rain. Only when I got up on the roof myself and addressed the problem did anything get truly fixed. On many occasions they would come out with tape and caulk and try to cheaply patch what they had not constructed properly. This only led to me having to go behind them, remove their attempt at patch repair and do it myself. My home is a $850,000 and it was build as though I was paying them to fix a trailer. The work quality is beyond terrible. Don’t ever hire them for anything other than concrete work and at that expect it to take months and several return trips for them to get it right."

A properly installed concrete slab can last anywhere from 30 to 100 years. Factors that impact its lifespan include timely repairs of cracks or breaks, local weather conditions, and the type of concrete used. Consulting with a local concrete contractor can give you a more accurate estimate based on your area's climate.
Concrete takes 26 to 30 days to cure to its full strength. After 24 to 48 hours, a 4-inch concrete slab is solid enough to walk on without leaving footprints. After seven days, it should be cured to at least 70% of its full strength. Proper curing is essential for the slab's durability and longevity.
Maintaining your concrete slab properly extends its life and keeps it looking its best. Regularly clean away dirt and debris, and promptly remove stains and spills like car oil or fertilizers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or de-icers that can damage the concrete. Keep heavy machinery and oversized vehicles off your driveway, and consider sealing your concrete to renew its appearance. Remember that while concrete is strong and durable, it isn't designed to support extremely heavy loads without proper reinforcement.
Choosing between a precast concrete slab and pouring concrete on-site depends on your project's size and location. Precast slabs are poured off-site and delivered ready to install, which can save time and ensure consistent quality. However, for larger areas or sites with access limitations, pouring concrete on-site may be more practical. Discuss your options with a local concrete contractor to determine the best choice for your project.
A concrete floor differs from a concrete slab in both its finish and function. A concrete floor is an indoor surface that is polished, coated, or stained for enhanced aesthetics and durability, while a concrete slab is an unfinished base designed to support structures such as sheds, garages, or patios. The finishing process adds visual appeal and protection for interior use, making it suitable for everyday living spaces. Each application is tailored to its intended environment and performance requirements.
When pouring a concrete slab, you must account for extra costs beyond the base price. Additional expenses include reinforcement additions, decorative enhancements like staining or stamping, drainage installation, and permit fees required by local regulations. These factors impact the overall project cost and should be discussed with a professional to ensure an accurate budget.
