Q: Can you pour new concrete over an existing concrete patio slab?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour new concrete over an existing concrete patio. This process, known as resurfacing, is a common repair method used by professionals. For the best results, ensure the old concrete surface is clean and free from debris. The new layer of concrete should be at least three to four inches thick and include reinforcement materials, such as fiberglass fibers or wire mesh, to prevent cracking and spalling. With proper technique, a resurfaced patio can last for 15 to 20 years.</p></div>

Q: Will adding a patio or other concrete feature increase my property taxes?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a patio or other concrete feature can increase your property taxes, particularly if it's considered a permanent improvement. The general rule is that if the project requires a permit, your property taxes will likely go up.</p><p>Permanent structures like a poured concrete patio are considered capital improvements that require a permit, which will trigger a reassessment of your property's value.

While the tax increase varies based on your location and the project's size, it is often a minimal amount. Always contact your local building department before starting a project to confirm permit requirements and any potential impact on your taxes.</p></div>

Q: How can I improve the appearance of my concrete steps?

• <div><p>To improve the appearance of concrete steps, you can repair any damage, refresh the surface, and add decorative elements. For crumbling, chipping, or broken sections, consider concrete resurfacing or light repair. If the surface is intact but discolored, applying a coat of paint, stain, or concrete sealer can refresh its look; reapplying a sealer every one to two years is recommended for maintenance. For a quick enhancement, you can also add decorative items like potted plants, garden statues, lanterns, or decorative railings to spruce up the area.</p></div>

Q: What other projects can be done at the same time as repairing concrete steps?

• <div><p>While a contractor is on-site repairing your concrete steps, you can have them inspect other concrete surfaces for minor damage. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor during the same visit. You can also ask them to check your home's foundation for minor issues they can address. However, general concrete repair experts typically cannot handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation. For major structural projects, you will need to hire a structural engineer.</p></div>

Q: Can I pour self-leveling concrete over concrete?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;as long as the area has been properly prepped. Different self-leveling brands and compounds have their own specific instructions for preparation; some may require that you add primer or grind the surface. Without proper preparation of the surface, the compound will not be able to fully bond to the concrete and fill the cure as a separate layer, which makes it prone to chipping.</p></div>

"I needed to repair some foundation cracks at my home and Andi smart renovation did great job. First they cleaned out the crack area completely removing all dust and loose concrete. Then they opened the crack slightly to make sure the repair matrial could go deep inside for a solid bond. After the repair cured they waterproofed the area with foundation coating to prevent moisture from coming through again. Everything was done carefully and professionally from preparation to cleanup. I recommend them for any foundation repair work they know exactly what they?re doing and take pride in doing it right."

"How did it go! Painless! I had no idea what I wanted, so I asked, what do you think? David at Advanced Surfaces Inc./CTi gave me a few suggestions from his experience which made my decision so much easier. Once I made my decision we set a date and CTi: *Showed up on time. *Ran into no problems (I have had contractors try to add on things unforeseen, which boosts up the bill $. *Completed the job with professionalism, dedication and commitment to quality. *Explained to me how long to let the materials set and how to correctly care for. I highly recommend David at CTi for his personal involvement, giving me options on what would look great (and it does!), his conscientious attitude (David called me a few days after the job was complete to make sure I was happy!) and his "Taking Care of Business" (David and I agreed on a day & schedule and it was completed as planned, weather permitting, of course. It was a pleasure working with David at Advanced Surfaces Inc./CTi, I highly recommend this company for any decorative concrete patching and resurfacing.

Concrete Resurfacing questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can pour new concrete over an existing concrete patio. This process, known as resurfacing, is a common repair method used by professionals.

The new layer of concrete should be at least three to four inches thick and include reinforcement materials, such as fiberglass fibers or wire mesh, to prevent cracking and spalling. With proper technique, a resurfaced patio can last for 15 to 20 years.

Yes, adding a patio or other concrete feature can increase your property taxes, particularly if it's considered a permanent improvement. The general rule is that if the project requires a permit, your property taxes will likely go up.

Permanent structures like a poured concrete patio are considered capital improvements that require a permit, which will trigger a reassessment of your property's value. Other concrete projects that typically increase taxes include:

Pool decks
Walkways
Driveways
Steps
Foundations

In contrast, 'temporary' installations, such as a paver or flagstone patio, may not require a permit and are less likely to affect your property taxes.

Permit costs for a concrete patio can range from $75 to $200. While the tax increase varies based on your location and the project's size, it is often a minimal amount. Always contact your local building department before starting a project to confirm permit requirements and any potential impact on your taxes.

To improve the appearance of concrete steps, you can repair any damage, refresh the surface, and add decorative elements. For crumbling, chipping, or broken sections, consider concrete resurfacing or light repair.
