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: Are sidewalks concrete or cement?

• <div><p>Sidewalks are concrete, not cement. Cement is merely an ingredient of concrete. To pour a sidewalk, driveway, or patio, you need to form the right mixture of concrete using cement, aggregates, and water. Pouring concrete requires special tools such as a concrete mixer, compactor, screeds, and floats. Unless you're pouring a small area, it's best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hire-a-concrete-contractor.htm">hire a concrete pro</a> for a sidewalk or driveway project. </p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace crumbling concrete steps before adding a railing?

• <div><p>Crumbling concrete steps will affect your ability to drill into the material and affix a sturdy railing. If the damage is primarily cosmetic, you might be able to DIY the repair with a patch kit. If the concrete is badly crumbling, hire a professional who specializes in pouring concrete. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-chipped-broken-concrete-step-steps-lead-front-door.htm">concrete step repair cost</a> is <b>$500</b> from a professional, but the extent of the damage will determine your actual cost. The professional may recommend a replacement if the damage is extensive.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a terrace and a patio?

• <div><p>A terrace is a flat area that&rsquo;s raised slightly above ground level while a patio is built at the same level as the door leading into the house. Because of this, terraces usually aren&rsquo;t connected to the living areas of a home but are commonly found around pools and fire areas. </p></div>

Q: Is a concrete patio cheaper than a deck?

• <div><p>No, a deck is more expensive than a concrete patio. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-deck.htm">cost to build a deck</a> is between $4,200 and $11,700, or about $7,900 on average. This makes the average deck cost roughly twice as much as the average cost to build a concrete patio. Concrete patios also have far greater longevity and are easier to maintain. </p></div>
