FREQUENTLY ASKED
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT SPENCER'S
Straight answers about services, pricing, and what to expect.
How long does concrete take to cure?
You can walk on it after 24 hours, drive on it after 7 days, and full design strength is at 28 days. Spencer will tell you exactly when you can use each surface based on the mix and weather.
What's the difference between a slab and a footer?
A slab is the horizontal pour you walk or drive on (driveway, patio, garage floor). A footer is the underground concrete pad that supports a foundation wall, post, or column. Most residential foundations involve both.
What thickness is standard for a driveway?
4 inches for passenger vehicles, 5–6 inches if you’ll be parking trucks or RVs. Spencer pours to code or above — never thinner than what the load requires.
Do you reinforce concrete with rebar or wire mesh?
Depends on the slab. Driveways and patios usually get fiber-mesh reinforcement in the mix; high-load slabs and foundation walls get rebar grids. Spencer specs the reinforcement when he quotes.
How long should my concrete last?
A properly poured driveway or patio in Northern Kentucky should last 30+ years with normal use. Cracks happen — that’s why Spencer puts in control joints. Tear-out and replacement is also part of the menu when older work has run its course.
