Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

Q: What type of concrete stain is best?

• <div><p><b>Acid-based concrete stain</b> is generally considered the best option because it lasts about four times as long and penetrates the deepest into concrete to give richer, full-bodied colors. If you prefer more vibrant colors, though, many water-based concrete stains are available that could provide a solution you can't find from earth-toned acid-based solutions.</p></div>

Q: Can you put too much rebar in concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put too much rebar in concrete. Too much reinforcement can cause strain in the concrete, leading to cracking. Air pockets can also form in the gaps between rebar when concrete fails to fill the space properly. The placement and installation of rebar is a specialized skill, so consult an experienced pro before proceeding.</p></div>

Q: How long should concrete dry before sanding?

• <div><p>It depends on the type of concrete and how long it takes to cure. Some concrete countertops can be sanded 3 days after pouring, while other slabs may require weeks to cure before sanding. </p></div>

Q: How long does a resurfaced concrete driveway last?

• <div><p>Resurfaced concrete can last anywhere from eight to 15 years on average. Just <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-concrete-resurfacing-lasts.htm">how long your resurface concrete driveway lasts</a> depends on how often you seal the concrete, the amount of traffic, how well the concrete resurfacer was applied, and even the soil quality. Poor soil that led to premature cracks in your existing concrete can quickly lead to even more cracks and problems if you don&rsquo;t fix the root cause of the cracked concrete. </p></div>
