Q: Do gazebos need a slab of concrete?

• <div><p>Most gazebos need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">concrete slab</a> for a secure, long-lasting, and durable gazebo. Whether or not your gazebo needs a slab of concrete depends on the type of gazebo you&rsquo;re building. Some gazebos have a built-in base or use other base materials, including wooden decks, paver slabs, or concrete footings.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY patio installation?

• <div><p>While patio installation requires some heavy equipment to excavate the area and compact the soil, you can learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-building-diy-patio.htm">how to do a DIY patio installation</a> and potentially save money versus hiring a pro to do the work. You should be familiar with taking measurements and doing calculations to determine the right amount of materials, and you&rsquo;ll need to be comfortable working with the necessary equipment.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</p></div>

Q: Are patios a good investment?

• <div><p>In most cases, patios are an outstanding investment, typically providing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">return on investment</a> of between 80% and 90%. Patios provide a dedicated place to relax and entertain, so you and your family will enjoy them until you sell your home. Once you sell your home, buyers typically love to see patios and outdoor entertainment areas and may be willing to pay more for your home if your patio is well-maintained. The only thing to keep in mind is that patios may be a drawback if they take up too much of a small yard.</p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of installing a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">cost to install a concrete driveway</a> ranges from <b>$4 to $15 per square foot</b>, depending on the size of the driveway and the type of finish. This project price ranges from <b>$2,340 to $7,500</b> (including removing existing concrete) but can go up to <b>$10,000 or more. </b>Other cost factors include concrete thickness, layout and design, site preparation requirements, base material, accessibility, and location.</p></div>

Mike iwas efficient and thoughtful about how he did the work. We had both power washing and concrete resealing done on patios, porch, sidewalks and driveway. Additionally he repainted the wood posts and ceiling for our back patio. All work was completed on time and within budget.

Gilbert did a great job pressure washing our dirty, moss covered, exposed aggregate patios. He came out quickly to give an estimate, arrived on time to the job site and completed the work with expertise. Would most definitely hire Gilbert again!
