Why Fayetteville homeowners redo their concrete

Most concrete calls start with something you can see, like a driveway cracked across, a patio sunk at one corner, or water pooling by the foundation after a rain. Usually the slab isn't the real problem. What's under it is, because a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed settles right along with the dirt.

Concrete is hard to undo, so I settle the plan before the truck shows up. We dig down to firm ground and pack the subgrade, the layer the slab rests on, then set the slope so water runs away from your house.

If the budget's tight, the base is the last place I'd cut. Nobody sees it on day one, and everybody sees it when the slab sinks, so I'd rather you pick a plain finish than a skimpy base.

What I check on a Fayetteville job

The price mostly turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, how deep we dig for the base, and the finish you pick, since a plain broom finish, the brushed texture that gives feet and tires grip, costs less than stamped work. The schedule turns on the permit and the pour date. Your own figure comes with the estimate I write after measuring.

Here the city handles building permits and sends inspectors out to check the work, repairs included. When your job needs a permit, we handle the application and set up those inspections, and if you're not sure yours does, we find out before we start. Business licenses go through the city too, but that's separate from the permit on your job.

Questions about concrete work in Fayetteville

Do I need a permit to pour a patio or slab in Fayetteville?

Check before you pour, because the city's examples of permit-free work are things like painting and flooring, not concrete. An owner or an authorized agent applies to the city's building safety office, and when your job needs a permit, we handle that application for you.

Does my contractor still need a permit in Fayetteville?

Yes, when the work calls for a permit, the city wants one no matter who does the work. The permit becomes the record of change to your house, kept with the city and Washington County, and the city says work done without one may lower your home's value. A permit lapses if work doesn't start within 180 days.

Will a new concrete driveway crack like my old one?

Concrete does crack, so the aim is to choose where and to keep the slab from settling on that packed base. We cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, and we cut them on time. We also keep the pour out of midday heat, which leaves a weak, dusty top later.

How long until I can drive on my new concrete driveway?

You'll walk on it well before you can drive on it, because the slab needs time to cure, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength. I'll tell you the dates for your slab when we pour, and on a replacement we'll talk about where you park until then.
