Q: How much does installing commercial concrete patios, walks, or steps cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $8 to $20 per square foot, depending on the design complexity, reinforcement needs, and surface finish.</p></div>

Q: Does patio installation require a permit?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a> for your patio, but it depends on the type of patio. Generally speaking, any improvements to your land considered &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; will require a permit. Since a concrete patio is a permanent foundation, you will need a permit. On the other hand, a paver patio or flagstone patio usually sits over gravel and sand, are considered &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; improvements, and rarely require permits. To be safe, you should always ask your building department or your patio company if a permit will be necessary.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional to install concrete patios and steps?

• <div><p>Ensures durability and correct finishing, enhancing usability and safety.</p></div>

Q: Does a paver patio cost less than a concrete slab?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-flagstone-patio.htm">pavers versus a concrete</a> patio, paver patios tend to be more costly than their concrete counterparts. However, the total cost depends on the type of materials you use and the size of the patio. If your patio needs repairs, a paver patio will be easier and less costly to fix, even though it&rsquo;s more expensive upfront. Plus, a paver patio won&rsquo;t bump up your property taxes, while a concrete patio will.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete porches less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>A concrete porch costs about $2 to $10 per square foot upfront, while a wood porch costs about $4 to $30 per square foot, making concrete less expensive upfront. However, wood requires much more maintenance than concrete, so you&rsquo;ll need to consider the costs of staining, painting, and resealing the porch every few years, which makes wood more expensive in the long run.</p></div>

Pazcualâ s workers do a good job, work hard in all temperatures. We really appreciate their work ethic. Communication is sometimes not prompt and billing is not detailed at times. Pascual and his team did a very nice job on a new stone plantar and patio grill platform.
