Your house, front to back, in concrete
Walk out to the curb and turn around. Between you and the back fence there is probably a driveway, a walk, a front stoop, a garage floor and a patio, and odds are at least one of them has a crack you have learned to step around. We are a concrete company for exactly that list. We pour new driveways and patios, build steps and stoops, do stamped and colored work, replace garage floors and tear out whatever has cracked, heaved or sunk, then pour it again properly.
Ohio makes concrete earn its keep. Your driveway crosses the freezing mark more times in one winter than a driveway down south does in years, and every trip home brings a little road salt along on the tires to melt onto the garage floor. Underneath, the clay holds water like a sponge, swells, then shrinks back in August. None of that means concrete is a bad idea here. It means your slab needs air in the mix, a real gravel base, a slope that sends water somewhere and joints that tell cracks where to go.
Most people work on a house in a certain order, and it usually starts out front, where the driveway and steps take the most abuse and make the first impression. Patios and stamped work tend to come next, and the garage floor tends to wait until the day a new car is coming home. Whatever is first on your list, send us a note or give us a call. The contractor will phone you back, talk it over and come take a look, and the quote costs you nothing.
Questions
Homeowner questions, answered
Why does concrete flake and pit in Ohio?
That is called scaling, and it is mostly winter's doing. Water soaks into the surface, freezes, expands and pops off thin flakes, and salt makes it worse by keeping more water there. Air-entrained concrete, a finish that was not overworked, a good sealer and no rock salt the first winter go a long way.
Will I need a permit, or my HOA's OK?
Sometimes one, sometimes both. Driveway aprons and anything in the public right-of-way usually need a permit from your city or village, and plenty of HOAs want to see colors and patterns for stamped work before anything is poured. Whatever the job, 811 gets called first so your gas, electric and cable lines are marked.
How much will my concrete project cost?
A fair number takes seeing it, because a few things move the price a lot: the size, how much old concrete comes out, the thickness, plain versus stamped, and how close a truck can get. The quote is free and walks you through each of those.
Do you come out to my town?
Probably. We cover Columbus and 31 towns around it, among them Westerville, Gahanna, Hilliard, Dublin, Grove City, Reynoldsburg, Whitehall, Grandview Heights, Powell, Groveport, Obetz and Minerva Park. If your town is on the service areas page, we can quote your job.
What time of year is best for concrete?
Late spring through early fall is the sweet spot for driveways, patios and steps, when nights stay comfortably above freezing. Pours can stretch into late fall with blankets and care, but nobody should pour on frozen ground. Asking for your quote in late winter gives you time to plan before spring.
Should I replace my concrete or live with it?
If a slab is cracked all the way through, has sunk more than a little or tips water toward the house, replacing it is usually the honest answer. Hairline cracks on an otherwise flat slab are cosmetic and can be left alone. The contractor can tell you which kind you have during the visit.
Do I need to be home for the quote?
It helps, but it is not required. If you cannot be there, say so in the form and describe what you want done. A phone call and a few photos often cover the details until it is time to measure.
Know-how
Ohio winter notes for your concrete
- 01
Skip the rock salt the first winter
New concrete is still tender its first season, and rock salt pulls water into the surface where it freezes and flakes. Use sand for traction that winter, and go easy on deicers after that too.
- 02
Seal what the car touches
Your tires carry salty slush from the road straight onto the driveway and garage floor. A penetrating sealer every few years makes it harder for that brine to soak in and pop the surface.
- 03
Watch where the downspouts point
A downspout that dumps beside a slab keeps the clay under it soggy, and soggy clay is what sinks or heaves come February. Run an extension past the edge of the concrete.
- 04
Shovel early, not hard
Clearing snow before it gets packed down means less ice and less temptation to reach for salt. Metal shovel edges can scuff a sealed or stamped surface, so a plastic blade is kinder.
How it works
From your first call to your first cookout
- 1
You reach out
Send the form or call with what you want and roughly where it goes. A couple of photos help.
- 2
We come look
The contractor calls you back and sets a time to measure, check the drainage and talk through finishes with you.
- 3
Prep day
Out comes the old concrete or sod. The clay gets tamped firm, then a layer of gravel is spread and packed down.
- 4
Pour, then patience
The concrete is placed and finished. Then comes the hard part for everyone: staying off it while it cures.
