Q: How thick should a concrete patio be?

• <div><p>Most standard concrete patios are around 4 inches deep. However, concrete patios that need to support very heavy items, like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-tips-installing-indoor-hot-tub.htm">hot tub</a> or outdoor kitchen, should be around 6 inches thick to support the full weight of these items. You'll also want to make sure you install rebar for patios that need to support a lot of weight like this. </p></div>

Q: What are the most important questions to ask a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build a brick or concrete patio?

• <div><p>It is generally cheaper to build a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">concrete patio versus a brick patio</a>. Basic concrete costs around <b>$8 to $15 per square foot</b>, while a brick patio typically ranges from <b>$10 to $20 per square foot</b>. The cost difference comes down to both materials and labor&mdash;pouring and finishing concrete is faster than placing each brick by hand. Brick pavers look great and last long, but they&rsquo;ll cost more up front. If you&rsquo;re looking to keep your budget in check without sacrificing function, concrete is usually the more cost-effective choice.</p></div>

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: Can I DIY patio installation?

• <div><p>While patio installation requires some heavy equipment to excavate the area and compact the soil, you can learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-building-diy-patio.htm">how to do a DIY patio installation</a> and potentially save money versus hiring a pro to do the work. You should be familiar with taking measurements and doing calculations to determine the right amount of materials, and you&rsquo;ll need to be comfortable working with the necessary equipment.</p></div>

Great Service. Done on time and under budget. Power washed and stained my deck. Referred him to the neighbor and she was pleased with the power washing he did on the steps going down the hill and her patio

This project was signed for in June and they still have not completed it. It has leaked water onto the particle board floor so many times I can not count! The workers just wanted to caulk the leaks and leave the ruined floor. I finally contacted a lawyer. I paid $66,000 for this sunroom...

We received two other quotes only for the retaining walls, thinking that anything more than just walls would not be affordable. Mark Winters at LandArc Studios went a different direction than the other two and suggested we use boulders in areas where we could, in order to save money. We spent a...

I would not recommend this company. They were very unprofessional and the quality of their work was lacking (to say the least). We hired Infinity HI to install a 6' sliding patio door to replace a traditional swinging entry door. They began the morning by starting to cut a hole in the wrong...

Ed Drozdowski (owner) and crew seemed friendly and hardworking, and while the patio looked good until the last step (sealing the concrete) the finished product was a disaster. I paid Ed in full on the last day as the sealing was occurring. The crew didn't know how much sealant to use and put...
