Concrete questions, answered

Every installation carries a 1-year written workmanship warranty from completion, covering defects in our workmanship such as settlement from improper base preparation, scaling from finishing errors, and structural cracking beyond normal shrinkage. Hairline shrinkage cracks and minor color variation are normal concrete behavior and are managed with control joints, not covered as defects. Warranty terms are provided in writing with every contract.

All concrete moves; the craft is controlling where. Proper base compaction, correct thickness, reinforcement, and control joints cut on schedule keep cracking inside the joints — not across your slab.

Avoid all de-icers the first winter — use sand for traction. After the first year, use a concrete-safe de-icer sparingly and reseal on schedule.

We flag when your city requires a permit (common for driveway widening, right-of-way sidewalks, and larger shed pads) and coordinate the process with you.

Both. Step resurfacing, crack repair, and apron-only replacement are routine work for us — and if a repair is smarter than replacement, that is what we will recommend.
