Concrete around Berlin homes
Half of Berlin's homes were built before 1972, which puts a lot of original driveways, steps and patios at the end of their life at about the same time. 80% of Berlin's homes are single-family detached and 82% are owner-occupied, so most residential work here is homeowners planning a project, sometimes several at once.
Near Lamentation and Ragged mountains, ledge close to the surface shapes a lot of projects, from footing depths to where a patio can sit.
The median home in Berlin was built in 1972, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Meriden (median 1960) and older than Cromwell (1977).

Permits around the house in Berlin. Driveways, patios and walks on your own lot usually don't need a building permit, though zoning can apply. Aprons and public sidewalks are town right-of-way work with a permit. Foundations, walls over 4 feet and many new steps at a door need building permits. We sort out which apply before we price.

Residential concrete in Berlin: questions
What concrete projects make sense first in Berlin?
For Berlin's housing stock, we'd usually look first at concrete driveways, concrete patios and concrete steps. Water and safety items always come before decorative work.
Can you do several projects at my Berlin home at once?
Yes. Bundling work into one mobilization saves money, and we sequence it so trucks never cross new concrete.
Do I need permits for residential concrete in Berlin?
Driveways and patios on your own lot usually don't need a building permit. Aprons and public sidewalks need a town right-of-way permit, and foundations, walls over 4 feet and often new steps at a door need building permits from Berlin's building department.
Do you do residential concrete near Berlin?
Yes. We also do residential concrete in Meriden, New Britain and Southington, and across Hartford County.
