"The concrete cracked within the first week of being poured and nobody came to fix it. Also beware when dealing with Mike as he will charge you extra $1,000 or probably more to finish the job he starts. Itâ s a common business practice by him as a lot of customers are mentioning the same thing from Yelp, Homeadvisor.com, and Google Reviews. Read the reviews before dealing with Dependable Concrete. As a contractor Mike should know the price of materials beforehand and before quoting the customers. Mike demanded $1,000 more because of the increase of the cement price. Cement shortages have been going on for months and Mike should have taken that into account before giving the quote. Cement shortages aren't recent news. He waited until he removed the old driveway and then as the shady businessman that he is â he demanded extra money to finish the job when I was left with a big hole around my house. Beware as this is common practice by Dependable concrete if you read the reviews. Cement shortages or not â the original quote should have accounted for that. As a customer I donâ t ask my contractor to refund me the money if the price of material goes down in the future. Mike should stick to his original quote and price, but he doesnâ t do that. Stay away from Dependable Concrete â bad business to deal with and very poor quality â concrete cracks within days and nobody will come fix it after they take the money from you."

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.
