How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</p></div>

How thick should concrete be for steps?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 4 inches thick for steps. This thickness boosts stability and prevents cracking and deterioration. After you’ve built your forms out of wood, fill the void with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel base for concrete</a>. Use an all-purpose concrete mix to form your steps. After pouring your concrete steps, be sure to screed and float the concrete. </p></div>

Q: What is the ideal distance between stepping stones?

• <div><p>About 6 inches between the edges of each stone in the sequence is common. Rather than sticking to 6 inches, some people measure the length of the entire path and adjust the space between stepping stones a couple of inches wider or narrower than 6 inches to make sure the entire path fits the length perfectly without having to cut a paver at either end. Other people prefer a design with a 24-inch distance from the center of one stone to the center of the next stone, which matches the stride of an average-sized person.</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: What is the cost to remove a load-bearing wall and add an entrance to a carport or patio?

• <div><p>If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.</p></div>
