Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our frequently asked questions page!
Concrete contractor pricing varies based on project size, materials, labor, and design complexity. Residential projects like driveways or patios typically cost $4–$15 per square foot, depending on decorative features such as stamping or staining. Commercial projects, due to larger scale and specific requirements, may have different rates. Contact us for a personalized quote tailored to your needs.
The timeline for concrete projects depends on the size and complexity. Small projects, like patios or driveways, may take 2–5 days, while larger commercial projects could span weeks. Factors like weather, curing time (usually 24–48 hours for basic setting and 7 days for full curing), and customizations may affect completion time.
We offer a range of services, including residential installations like driveways, patios, pool decks, and decorative concrete, as well as commercial solutions such as foundations, parking lots, ADA-compliant ramps, sidewalks, and drainage systems. Whatever your project, we ensure top-quality craftsmanship.
Durability starts with proper installation using high-quality materials. Adding a sealer protects against water, stains, and wear. Reinforcement methods like rebar or mesh and regular maintenance, such as cleaning and resealing every few years, also prolong the life of your concrete surface.

Cracked or crumbling concrete can be repaired through resurfacing or patching, depending on the damage’s extent. For severe issues, replacement may be necessary. Our team will assess your concrete and recommend the best solution to restore its integrity and appearance.
Prevent cracking by ensuring proper installation, including control joints to manage stress. Reinforcements like rebar or mesh add strength, while curing the concrete gradually helps prevent shrinkage cracks. Regular sealing protects against moisture and temperature fluctuations, both of which contribute to cracking.
