Q: Does installing a patio improve home value?

• <div><p>Yes, installing a patio will usually improve home value, as outdoor entertainment areas are usually quite desirable and make your home more visually appealing. A paver patio usually comes with an impressive ROI of around 80%, while concrete patios should fall between 60% and 70%. Paver patios are considered more desirable and valuable because most home buyers prefer how they look, and they won&rsquo;t raise your property taxes as a permanent concrete patio would.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire to install stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Many concrete companies that handle installing concrete slabs or standard concrete patios can also install stamped concrete, but you can also hire a company that specializes in stamped concrete. These textured concrete surfaces take some finesse to get right, and choosing a company that concentrates on stamped concrete patios and walkways is a good way to ensure the finished product looks top-notch. Additionally, specialists in stamped concrete will likely have more texture options that suit your preferences, like riverstone, sandstone, yorkstone, and cobblestone.</p></div>

Q: What size gravel should you put under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should put gravel that is 3/4 to 1 inch under a concrete slab. However, depending on the project, local building codes may dictate the proper gravel size and shape. Some concrete slabs that do not hold significant weight may have a subbase of sand. Also, keep in mind that the subbase you choose will affect the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-patio-cost-square-foot.htm">cost of your concrete patio</a>, walkway, or driveway. </p></div>

Q: Can you turn a regular basement into a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/basement-foundation.htm">basement foundation</a>, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.</p></div>

Q: What to look for in a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>When hiring a concrete contractor, you should seek someone with proven experience, proper licensing, and insurance. You should also check reviews online, talk to references, and view past project photos. Remember that reliable contractors communicate openly and have an expert understanding of local building codes. You&rsquo;ll also want to ensure that the contractor specializes in the specific type of concrete work you want, whether a driveway or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-stained-concrete-floors-cost.htm">tinted concrete flooring</a>.</p></div>
