Q: Will a patio cause my property taxes to go up?

• <div><p>Some patios will cause your property taxes to increase, while others will not. A good rule of thumb is that if your patio requires a permit, your taxes will increase. That&rsquo;s because permits are necessary for &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; land improvements, and your taxes are based partially on improvements. Something like a concrete patio that&rsquo;s considered permanent will bump up your property taxes, while a &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; paver patio or flagstone patio will not negatively affect your taxes. Keep in mind that this can vary, so always contact your building department to see if your patio project will affect your taxes.</p></div>

Q: How much does concrete floor installation cost?

• <div><p>Depending on the finish and area size, costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot. Decorative finishes increase costs.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional to install concrete patios and steps?

• <div><p>Ensures durability and correct finishing, enhancing usability and safety.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value: pavers or concrete?

• <div><p>A paver patio will add more value than a concrete patio. Pavers are a more commonly preferred option from an aesthetic and longevity point of view, so most buyers will be willing to pay more for a paver patio than they would for a concrete one. Pavers also don&rsquo;t require a permanent foundation, so they won&rsquo;t increase your property taxes. Buyers also prefer lower property taxes, so that will play into the ROI you&rsquo;ll see, too. </p></div>

I recently hired HHS Masonry& Restoration to install patio pavers in my backyard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in bringing my vision to life.
