I read that concrete can take over a year to fully cure

I was looking up specs for a big warehouse floor job in Spokane and found this on a university engineering site. It said concrete reaches its design strength in 28 days, but the chemical process keeps going for a long time, even years. That got me thinking about warranties and when you can really say a job is done. Do you guys ever factor that into your bids or talk about it with clients?

Yeah, that "fully cure" part always gets me.

Honestly, I just stopped trusting any claim that says "fully cure" for anything... it's usually a red flag. Learned that the hard way with a skin thing years ago. Now I look for words like "manage" or "control" because that's more realistic most of the time. Saves a lot of disappointment and wasted money.
