Q: Is it cheaper to build a brick or concrete patio?

• <div><p>It is generally cheaper to build a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">concrete patio versus a brick patio</a>. Basic concrete costs around <b>$8 to $15 per square foot</b>, while a brick patio typically ranges from <b>$10 to $20 per square foot</b>. The cost difference comes down to both materials and labor&mdash;pouring and finishing concrete is faster than placing each brick by hand.

Q: Does a walkway add value to your home?

• <div><p>Installing a walkway to your home can add value, as it can make your landscaping look more intentionally designed and boost your overall curb appeal. In addition, walkways can be installed with accessibility in mind, which can be helpful for those with mobility issues or who need a wheelchair.</p></div>

Q: Which surfaces are scorpions unable to climb?

• <div><p>Scorpions have difficulty climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like clean glass or polished metal because their pincers and feet cannot grip the surface effectively. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured materials such as wood, stucco, or brick, slick surfaces prevent them from gaining traction or anchoring themselves. If you're trying to scorpion-proof parts of your home, using smooth materials for barriers or containers can be an effective deterrent strategy.</p></div>

We got a very prompt estimate in response to our call. Charlie and his crew showed up promptly and right on time to do the work. They did an excellent job, very neat, no paint drips, really nice work. It looks beautiful. We would call Pinnacle Painting again for certain.

They worked most of the day. They overcame difficulties in raising the patio to its original level. The final cost was significantly more than the estimate. For that reason we are not sure we would use them in the future.
