Q: How much do stairs cost?

• <div><p>The short answer is that the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-stairs-and-railings-cost.htm">cost to build a staircase</a> largely depends on what material they&rsquo;re made out of and how many you need. Wood stairs cost about <b>$50 to $100 per step</b> for materials alone, while labor costs an additional<b> $100 to $250 per step</b>. The cost increases for more expensive materials such as glass or concrete. </p></div>

Q: How far apart do you put stepping stones?

• <div><p>Stepping stones should match an average human stride, so the general rule is to place them about 24 inches between stones. However, many designs put stones closer together. If you choose to plant in between them, leave at least 6 to 8 inches between stones to give plants room to grow.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete stairs cheaper than wood?

• <div><p>No, high labor costs and the project's complexity make concrete stairs more expensive than steel or wood stairs. Wood steps cost between<b> </b>$100 and $200 per step, including labor and materials, while concrete steps are about triple, at between $200 and $600 per step. Building codes may also have stricter requirements for concrete steps, as they&rsquo;re considered permanent, so you might also pay more for permits.</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>

Q: Can I do concrete work myself?

• <div><p>For handy homeowners, concrete projects are DIYable, and DIYing is a good way to save on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">cost of a concrete slab</a>, walkway, or other concrete work. If you&rsquo;re completing a larger project or one that&rsquo;s subject to building codes, you should always hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly. </p></div>

Mark did an excellent job power washing and sealing our patio. We had a lot of moss growing in the cracks; he got rid of all of it, re-sanded in between the bricks and sealed it all up. It looks great. Fair price.

Spoke with the owner about a low spot in the patio that collected water. The company completed a complex project to grind; resurface and repaint the patio. While the initial defect was unfortunate; the company went above and beyond to correct the defect.

Everything was done as and when was described in the bid. Sonny is a real old-world professional. Hire him!! Next he's going to expand the brick patio in our back garden, and we can hardly wait.

Excellent job done -- with great care for surrounding patio, house, etc. Nice job with cleanup afterwards as well. The only reason I have marked down the overall experience is because we were billed twice for this job, and this issue is not yet resolved.

Splendidly. Russell excavated the area, installed ground supports to eliminate potential movement of the patio blocks - and prevent water drainage into the basement area and window well. He then laid, dug, leveled and laid the patio. The addition of sod around the new patio quickly prevented any...
