Concrete around Cheshire homes
Half of Cheshire's homes were built before 1974, which puts a lot of original driveways, steps and patios at the end of their life at about the same time. 79% of Cheshire's homes are single-family detached and 87% are owner-occupied, so most residential work here is homeowners planning a project, sometimes several at once.
On most Cheshire lots the build is our standard: compacted gravel base, air-entrained concrete, joints planned and cleanup included.
The median home in Cheshire was built in 1974, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than nearby Meriden, where the median is 1960.

Permits around the house in Cheshire. 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 Cheshire: questions
What concrete projects make sense first in Cheshire?
For Cheshire'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 Cheshire 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 Cheshire?
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 Cheshire's building department.
Do you do residential concrete near Cheshire?
Yes. We also do residential concrete in Meriden, Wallingford and Wolcott, and across New Haven County.
