Concrete Patio Services FAQ

1. Why should I choose a concrete patio over other materials?

A concrete patio offers a blend of durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness that’s hard to match. Unlike wood, concrete is resistant to rot, pests, and weathering, and it requires minimal maintenance. Additionally, concrete can be customized in terms of color, texture, and design, allowing you to achieve a high-end look without the high-end price.

​

2. How long does it take to install a concrete patio?

The installation time for a concrete patio depends on the size and complexity of the project. Generally, the process takes between 3 to 7 days, which includes site preparation, pouring, finishing, and curing time. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline during the consultation phase.

​

3. How should I care for my concrete patio?

Concrete patios are low-maintenance, but regular cleaning is recommended to keep them looking their best. Sweep away debris and occasionally wash the surface with a mild detergent and water. Sealing the concrete every 2-3 years can also help protect it from stains, moisture, and UV damage.

​

4. Will my concrete patio crack?

While all concrete is prone to cracking over time, we take preventative measures to minimize this risk. We install control joints in the patio to manage where cracking might occur and reinforce the concrete with steel mesh or rebar for added strength. Proper curing and sealing also contribute to the patio’s longevity.

​

5. Can I add color or patterns to my concrete patio?

Absolutely! Concrete is highly customizable. We offer various color options, including integral color (mixed into the concrete) and surface stains. Additionally, we can create patterns through stamping or engraving to mimic the appearance of natural stone, brick, or tile.

​

6. What is the warranty on your concrete patios?

We offer a comprehensive 1-year warranty on all our concrete patio installations. This covers workmanship and materials, ensuring your patio is free from defects. We also provide a warranty for any imperfections or low spots that may develop during the first year.

​

7. How thick should my concrete patio be?

For standard residential patios, we pour a 4-inch thick concrete slab. This thickness is sufficient for most uses, including furniture, grills, and foot traffic. If you plan to park vehicles on your patio or use it for heavy equipment, a thicker slab may be necessary.

​

8. Can you incorporate steps or other features into the patio design?

Yes, we can integrate steps, borders, inlays, and other decorative elements into your patio design. These features not only enhance the functionality of your space but also add to its aesthetic appeal.

​

9. How do you ensure proper drainage for the patio?

Proper drainage is a key aspect of our patio installations. We grade the soil and create a slight slope in the concrete to direct water away from your home. If needed, we can also install drainage systems to prevent water pooling and ensure the longevity of your patio.

​

10. Can you replace or extend an existing concrete patio?

Yes, we can remove and replace old concrete patios or extend your current patio to create more space. During the consultation, we’ll assess your existing patio and discuss the best options for your needs.

​

11. What’s the cost of installing a concrete patio?

The cost of a concrete patio depends on factors such as size, design complexity, and the type of finish you choose. We’ll provide a detailed estimate after assessing your project during the consultation. Generally, concrete patios offer an excellent return on investment due to their durability and low maintenance requirements.

​

12. When is the best time of year to install a concrete patio?

Concrete patios can be installed during most of the year, but the ideal time is during the spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. Extreme heat or cold can affect the curing process, so we plan our installations accordingly to ensure the best results.
