"I researched many barn construction companies before making the decision to use Diamond W Specialties. They built me a steel buildings that is 40x40 including a 10x40 lean to that will be used as a porch. The concrete work was excellent as was the construction on the steel building. They told me they would be complete in one month from start to finish. Even with the week of Christmas holiday they completed the job in less than one month. The crew would arrive before daylight and work by their headlights until it was daylight then they worked past sundown. Each crew member had his specific job to do and it was like an assembly line. No one ever stood around wasting time. After construction was completed I expected them to pack up and leave but the doesn't half a day finding little things that most people wouldn't see and fixed them. When I went around the building looking for anything that was incomplete I didn't find a thing. Diamond W Specialties in my opinion is the best steel building construction company, period."

Patios questions, answered by experts
Concrete should be at least 4 inches thick for steps. This thickness boosts stability and prevents cracking and deterioration. After you’ve built your forms out of wood, fill the void with a sand or gravel base for concrete. Use an all-purpose concrete mix to form your steps. After pouring your concrete steps, be sure to screed and float the concrete.
Scorpions have difficulty climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like clean glass or polished metal because their pincers and feet cannot grip the surface effectively. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured materials such as wood, stucco, or brick, slick surfaces prevent them from gaining traction or anchoring themselves. If you're trying to scorpion-proof parts of your home, using smooth materials for barriers or containers can be an effective deterrent strategy.
You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.
In most cases, the cost to pour a concrete patio falls between $8 and $12 per square foot. For a typical 200-square-foot concrete patio, you’re looking at an average price of between $1,600 and $2,400. Most concrete patios will be 4 inches thick, so thickness plays a minimal role in the price variance, but some types of concrete finishes can cost up to $25 per square foot, which has a major impact on your total.
The average cost to install a patio is around $4,000, but you could spend anywhere from $800 to $14,000 or more. Some cost factors you’ll need to consider for an accurate estimate include the following:
Square footage of the patio
Type of patio you want (concrete, pavers, or brick)
Soil quality on your property, which can dictate if drainage is necessary
Add-on products
Local permitting costs, if applicable
Accessibility of your yard
