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: Do concrete steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Some local authorities and building codes require that you secure concrete stairs to the foundation wall or to your concrete slab. Check with your local building department for guidance. For older homes without a foundation, you&rsquo;ll need to install a new footing or base beneath the steps. This could be a simple gravel bed or a more complex concrete footing, which a professional concrete contractor can help you with. </p></div>

Q: Are concrete stairs cheaper than wood?

• <div><p>No, high labor costs and the project's complexity make concrete stairs more expensive than steel or wood stairs. Wood steps cost between<b> </b>$100 and $200 per step, including labor and materials, while concrete steps are about triple, at between $200 and $600 per step. Building codes may also have stricter requirements for concrete steps, as they&rsquo;re considered permanent, so you might also pay more for permits.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't seal a concrete patio?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t seal a concrete patio, the surface may crack, fade, or stain. While it&rsquo;s not strictly necessary to seal a concrete patio, doing so can help protect it, extend its lifespan, and enhance its beauty.</p></div>

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>
