Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

Q: What project can I do at the same time as repairing concrete steps?

• <div><p>You may want to hire a concrete floor contractor to check out your home&rsquo;s concrete surfaces or inspect your home&rsquo;s foundation for minor damages they can fix while on site. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor the same day they fix your concrete steps, as well. General concrete repair experts often won&rsquo;t be able to handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation , so you&rsquo;ll need to hire a structural engineer for bigger projects.</p></div>

Q: Does concrete stain need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Always seal concrete stain to protect against wear and preserve the color. This applies to acid- and water-based stains but not always to concrete paint. Many paints designed for outdoor use contain ingredients designed to protect and waterproof without the need for additional sealant. Fortunately, learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-seal-concrete.htm">how to seal concrete</a> is something most DIY-savvy homeowners can tackle.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix a badly pitted concrete garage floor?

• <div><p>Mix the resurfacer into a sticky mixture. The consistency should look like mashed potatoes. Use a squeegee to push the resurfacer across the pitted area and smoothen the surface with a cement trowel flush. Make sure you protect any expansion joints with a weather strip. Alternatively, cut out any resurfacer that touched the joint once the mixture begins to harden.</p></div>

Q: Can an old cement floor be polished?

• <div><p>Yes, you can polish an old cement floor. However, be aware that the first pass with the concrete grinder may reveal a few surprises and imperfections. You may also have to contend with the consequences of previous floor coverings, such as tile or carpet, which can leave a pattern in the concrete. Old concrete is more likely to produce uneven results if you want to use a dye or other coloring.</p></div>

This firm was outstanding to deal with. Very professional staff and what they promised they did. Even came back to touch up after it rained that night and some of the paint did not dry so it washed off. Came back as promised and finished the job. Highly recommend.
