About Concrete Contractors Schenectady

Concrete Contractors Schenectady handles residential flatwork in Schenectady and nearby towns. That covers driveways, backyard patios, stamped and colored surfaces, walks and entry steps, slabs under garages and sheds, and fixing or replacing concrete that has cracked, dropped or begun to scale.

Age is the theme in this city. Point2Homes' summary of census data puts 48.7% of Schenectady homes in the built-1939-or-earlier bracket, with 1941 as the median year built. Pair that housing with Albany-area winters, roughly 59 inches of snow per season and January lows averaging about 16°F at the airport, and the results are familiar: squares heaved by street-tree roots, aprons patched for decades, and entry steps losing a little more surface each March. Freeze-thaw and road salt shape our plans from the first measurement.

From first call to cured slab

1. Site visit. We walk the area with you, take measurements, note where water runs and what is there now, and ask what the new concrete has to handle. 2. Line-item price. The quote breaks out tear-out, base, slab thickness, reinforcement, finish and sealer, then gives one total. 3. Rules check. If the job reaches the curb, the apron or the public walk, we find out what your city, town or village asks for before setting a date. 4. Pour day. Air-entrained concrete goes onto a compacted base, joints are cut where we want cracks to form, and the slab is cured. 5. Handover. You get dates for foot traffic, for cars and for the first coat of sealer.

We won't name a figure for concrete we have not looked at. Breaking out old slabs, squeezing between two houses, hitting buried debris or soft soil all move the number, and in a city this old those conditions change from one lot to the next.
