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 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: How much base is needed under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should have at least <b>4 to 6 inches</b> of compactable base under your concrete slab. Your contractor may recommend more depending on the structure.</p></div>

Q: Do you need rebar in concrete steps?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete steps need rebar to reinforce the structure and ensure it can hold weight over time. Place a lattice of rebar inside the form before pouring concrete to give the steps their maximum strength. Tie each intersection together with rebar ties to hold the structure all together. Without rebar, concrete steps can sink, crumble, and lose their longevity.</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>

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,...
