Get matched with top patio pros in Shelbourne, MA

Q: Who do I hire to install stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Many concrete companies that handle installing concrete slabs or standard concrete patios can also install stamped concrete, but you can also hire a company that specializes in stamped concrete. These textured concrete surfaces take some finesse to get right, and choosing a company that concentrates on stamped concrete patios and walkways is a good way to ensure the finished product looks top-notch. Additionally, specialists in stamped concrete will likely have more texture options that suit your preferences, like riverstone, sandstone, yorkstone, and cobblestone.</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: How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</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>

Q: Do concrete steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Some local authorities and building codes require that you secure concrete stairs to the foundation wall or to your concrete slab. Check with your local building department for guidance. For older homes without a foundation, you&rsquo;ll need to install a new footing or base beneath the steps. This could be a simple gravel bed or a more complex concrete footing, which a professional concrete contractor can help you with. </p></div>

They beat out the local contractors by quite a bit. I was able to get the roof done plus gutters for less than what the locals were trying to charge just for the roof. Very easy transaction, they were in and out and the day and they cleaned up their mess. The roof looks fabulous!

Absolutely a better experience than we anticipated. ProEdge is a responsive company, and they know the value of customer service. We will be reaching back out to have them complete our window projects once our addition is completed, and to replace exterior doors.

After seeing a beautiful, complicated, new paving stone parking area in my neighborhood, I tracked down the contractor and requested help with my front patio. The execution was sheer artistry, and the engineering (sub layers, boarders, pitch, etc.) was first class.
