Q: How much do cement companies charge for concrete projects?

• <div><p>Cement companies often charge a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-deliver-concrete.htm">per-cubic-yard cost for concrete</a>, which averages around <b>$130</b>. In most cases, you can also expect to pay for leveling, surfacing, and add-on services, like stamping concrete. Here are some typical prices for common concrete projects for which you may hire a cement company.</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>Walkway: $1,800</p></li><li><p>Driveway: $2,800</p></li><li><p>Standard patio: $3,300</p></li><li><p>Stamped concrete patio: $4,000</p></li><li><p>Concrete steps: $3,500</p></li><li><p>Colored concrete: $3,800</p></li></ul><p>You might also need to budget for removing your old concrete or additional land prep before your professional can pour concrete.</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>

Q: Are concrete porches less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>A concrete porch costs about $2 to $10 per square foot upfront, while a wood porch costs about $4 to $30 per square foot, making concrete less expensive upfront. However, wood requires much more maintenance than concrete, so you&rsquo;ll need to consider the costs of staining, painting, and resealing the porch every few years, which makes wood more expensive in the long run.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a patio?

• <div><p>The average patio takes anywhere from <b>30 to 50 hours</b> to build, including leveling the ground and paving the patio. If you&rsquo;re doing the work yourself, you might want to plan on spending significantly more time, especially if you don&rsquo;t have all the equipment or experience. After completing your patio build, consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-can-i-hire-prepare-my-patio-spring.htm">hiring a pro to prepare the patio for spring</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have a deck or a concrete patio?

• <div><p>The average ROI you&rsquo;ll see from a deck or a concrete patio is 70%, so from a value-add perspective, they&rsquo;re about the same. However, decks are around double the price of a concrete patio, they require significantly more maintenance, and they have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, about half of what you&rsquo;d see from a concrete patio. As such, a concrete patio is a better option in terms of up-front cost, long-term maintenance, and ROI.</p></div>

We hired Hanson's to install new siding on the house. The "What work did you need done" drop down did not include siding installation. The job is now complete and the workmen did an excellent job; however, there was a substantial delay in getting the project started,

Dan was very professional and stayed in communication from start to finish. Our shingles, patio deck, siding and down spouts look new again and they haven’t looked that way in a long time. No more miss!

Ron and his staff were excellent to work with. The patio turned out better than expected, we changed a few things on the fly and they made it happen! We will be working with them again this season.

Advanced Concrete Lifting's employees did a very nice job the first time but the patio had a small area that didn't quite drain right. We called them about it and they fixed it promptly. Very personable and the patio looks wonderful. Thank you!

We had hoped they could start the project while we were away for two weeks, but getting the permits, equipment, and supplies, as well as lining up the subcontractors to do the work didn't allow that to happen. The project started the day after we got back. We didn't have a sink, stove,...
