Find answers to common questions about our concrete services and processes
You should contact a professional concrete contractor as soon as you notice any issues with your concrete, such as cracks, settling, or spalling. For new projects, it's best to reach out during the planning phase so we can provide guidance on timing, preparation, and design options. Early consultation helps ensure your project runs smoothly and meets your expectations.
Cracking is common in concrete due to its natural density and the pressure it experiences as it hardens. If you notice cracks, it's important to have them assessed by a professional. Small hairline cracks are often cosmetic, but larger cracks can indicate structural issues. We can evaluate the damage and recommend repair solutions or determine if replacement is the better option.
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity. A standard driveway typically takes 2-3 days to complete, plus curing time. Patios and walkways may take 1-2 days, while foundations can take several days depending on the size. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation. Keep in mind that concrete needs about 7 days to cure before it can handle regular use.
Costs depend on several factors including project size, concrete type, finish options, site accessibility, and preparation work needed.

Concrete is low-maintenance but benefits from occasional care. We recommend sealing your concrete every 2-3 years to protect against stains and weathering. Clean spills promptly, avoid using harsh de-icing chemicals in winter, and address cracks early to prevent further damage. With proper care, your concrete can last 30+ years.
