Our Services
These split by what has actually failed and who is allowed to work on it, not by how much concrete is involved. A surface that is peeling, pitting or flaking has failed at the top, and that stays surface work. A slab that has sunk or tipped has not failed at all: the ground under it moved, which makes it a drainage job before it is a concrete job, and the two need different money spent in different places. The apron at the road is a third thing again, because on a county road the county has to permit the work before anybody pours. The one-line test on each card sorts most people before they type anything.
What we arrange
Driveway Repair and Replacement
This is the work that either saves a driveway or replaces it. A failed section can be cut out and repoured, a surface that is peeling but sound underneath can sometimes be resurfaced, and a slab breaking up across its whole area is a replacement. The peeling and flaking has a trade name, scaling, and there is a real limit on how far it can be repaired. NRMCA states that light to moderately scaled surfaces can be repaired but the repaired surface will only be as strong as the base surface it has to bond to, and that repairing slabs with excessive and progressing scaling may not be feasible at all. Which side of that line your driveway sits on is most of the decision, and it is knowable before anyone quotes.

The apron is where your driveway meets the road, and getting it rebuilt without a fine attached is the actual service. Onondaga County's policy is that property owners having access to a county highway are fully responsible for maintenance of their driveway and channelization, including the portion from the highway right of way line to the outside edge of the shoulder or curb, and including the ditches, pipes, catch basins and grates put in to serve that access. New York Highway Law section 136 then provides that nobody may construct or improve an entrance or connection within a county road right of way without a work permit from the county superintendent, with a fine of not less than twenty-five and not more than one thousand dollars for each day of violation. Yours to keep up, and not yours to dig up unpermitted. That is why it is a separate job from the driveway behind it.
Read more →Steps, Walkways and Patios
Steps get rebuilt or replaced, a stoop that has dropped gets dealt with from underneath, and a walkway or patio has sections cut out or the whole run taken up and repoured. What these surfaces have in common is that they are the ones people salt by hand, so they take de-icer applied directly at full strength rather than tracked in off a road. The Residential Code of New York State treats them as their own category for that reason: exterior porches, carport slabs and steps sit alongside garage floor slabs in Table R402.2, and section R402.2 caps the fly ash, slag and silica fume permitted in mixes for exactly those elements where they will be exposed to de-icing chemicals. Getting the specification right on a set of steps is a small part of the bill and most of the service life.
Read more →Garage Floors and Slabs
This is patching, resurfacing or replacing the slab your car parks on, and the work usually has to include the drainage and the joints, because those are what did the damage. The garage floor is where road salt ends up: NRMCA's written advice is that homeowners should hose off the accumulation of salt deposited by cars on driveways and garage slabs when conditions permit, and it warns that the magnesium-based salts used for pre-snow de-icing of roads get tracked in by cars and accumulate on concrete surfaces. A car parked overnight leaves a chloride solution on one strip of floor with no rain to rinse it and, behind a closed door, little air to dry it. That is why the slab that looks the most protected on a property is so often the one in the worst condition.
Read more →Concrete Leveling and Settlement Repair
A slab that has sunk, tipped or lifted has not necessarily failed. The ground under it has moved, and that is a completely different job from a surface repair. The mechanism matters because it decides what the fix has to include. New York State's Department of Transportation is explicit that three conditions must all exist before frost heaving can occur: freezing temperatures penetrating below the surface into the base and subgrade, a supply of water into the freezing zone, and frost-susceptible material lying within that zone. Eliminate any one of them completely and there is no noticeable heave. Since the climate here is not negotiable, the department names drainage, in the form of ditches, culverts and underdrains, as the condition that can actually be reduced. Which is the whole point: leveling work that does not touch the water is leveling work you will be buying again.
