Q: Do steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Concrete steps need concrete footings, which is a type of foundation. They are made of concrete with rebar reinforcement poured into a trench. The footings support the stairs, spread the vertical load, and prevent the steps from sinking. Footings need to be below the maximum depth that the ground freezes, typically at least 42 inches in depth.</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: Is fiber concrete good for a driveway?

• <div><p>Fiber concrete can be a good option for a residential driveway that will hold up standard passenger cars. The fibers provide increased flexion over a rebar-reinforced concrete driveway, so you&rsquo;re less likely to see surface cracks. For driveways that need to hold commercial vehicles or multiple vehicles, rebar reinforcement is a better option. Ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-driveways/">concrete driveway company near you</a> which is the best option for your situation.</p></div>

Q: How big should a driveway apron be?

• <div><p>The size of your driveway apron will vary based on your town's building codes. On average, they range between 12 and 24 feet wide and eight to 15 feet long. One end of the apron usually matches the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-width-guide.htm">width of the driveway</a>&mdash;10 to 12 feet wide for a single-car driveway&mdash;while the street end flares out to allow cars to turn in and out.</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>

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,...
