Q: Is it better to have a deck or a concrete patio?

• <div><p>The average ROI you&rsquo;ll see from a deck or a concrete patio is 70%, so from a value-add perspective, they&rsquo;re about the same. However, decks are around double the price of a concrete patio, they require significantly more maintenance, and they have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, about half of what you&rsquo;d see from a concrete patio. As such, a concrete patio is a better option in terms of up-front cost, long-term maintenance, and ROI.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a patio?

• <div><p>The average patio takes anywhere from <b>30 to 50 hours</b> to build, including leveling the ground and paving the patio. If you&rsquo;re doing the work yourself, you might want to plan on spending significantly more time, especially if you don&rsquo;t have all the equipment or experience. After completing your patio build, consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-can-i-hire-prepare-my-patio-spring.htm">hiring a pro to prepare the patio for spring</a>.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a balcony and a patio?

• <div><p>Balconies and patios are both outdoor living spaces, but that&rsquo;s where the similarities end. A balcony is an open space built on the second story of a home, while a patio is a structure built directly on the ground in front of or behind a house. Patios tend to be larger than balconies and are often made from concrete, stone, or brick. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-vs-patio-which-works-better.htm">Decks and patios</a> share a similar nature but still have distinct differences. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a staircase?

• <div><p>Building a new staircase can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, materials, and whether an old one needs to be demolished. Straight staircases are quicker to build than curved or spiral staircases, which require more intricate design and precise measurements. </p></div>
