Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

Q: Can you put hot pots on concrete countertops?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put hot pots on concrete countertops, but only if they&rsquo;ve been properly sealed. While the concrete itself is heat-resistant, the sealant may not be, meaning heat may discolor the sealant, so use caution.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to recycle concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete is recyclable, but you can&rsquo;t just drop it off at a traditional recycling center. Most major cities have specific concrete recycling centers that will accept your concrete disposal and break it down using industrial equipment. Recycled concrete can be used to create environmentally sustainable items like gabion walls to protect shorelines.</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>

Q: How do you remove carpet padding glue from concrete?

• <div><p>To remove carpet padding glue from concrete, scrape away as much of the top layers as possible with a sharp-edged scraper or putty knife. You can be more aggressive on a concrete floor than on hardwood, so scrape off as much as possible. Then you can soak the area with hot water for a few minutes before continuing to scrape. If there is still glue left behind, use a solvent that is made to remove adhesives and apply it to the area. Then scrape the rest of the glue off.</p></div>

We decided to go with that. He was very professional. He installed the piping and did some concrete work. I was very happy that the price was much less than the $400. It was also nice to have the owner of the company do the initial assessment.
