Hartford at a glance
38% of Hartford's homes were built before 1940, so a lot of the concrete work here is replacing what earlier generations poured: front stoops, walks and steps, and new footings for additions beside old foundations.
Most of Hartford's housing is two-family, three-family and apartment buildings (only 15% is single-family detached), which means more entries, stairs, walks and parking per lot.
The median home in Hartford was built in 1953, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby East Hartford, where the median is 1961.
| Median year homes were built | 1953 |
|---|---|
| Homes built before 1960 | 60% |
| Single-family detached homes | 15% |
| Owner-occupied homes | 26% |
| Population, 2024 estimate | 122,129 |

From our blog
Building in Hartford
- Soils
- Parts of Hartford sit on glacial Lake Hitchcock clays, which hold water and heave, so bases go deeper and drainage gets more attention.
- Water
- Lots near the Connecticut River can hold water in spring, so we plan drainage and base depth for it.
- Right-of-way
- Most Hartford streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a city permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in Hartford like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: Hartford's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.

For housing like Hartford's (half the homes built before 1953, 15% single-family detached), the jobs that usually come first are concrete sidewalks, concrete steps and concrete repair.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Hartford?
It depends on the job. Driveways, patios and walks on your own lot usually don't need a building permit. Aprons and public sidewalks are city right-of-way work with a permit; foundations, walls over 4 feet and many new steps need a building permit from Hartford's building department.
