Concrete around Hartford homes
38% of Hartford's homes were built before 1940. Houses that old usually need the basics first: steps that have pulled away, walks lifted by roots, and foundations with a century of water history. Only 15% of Hartford's homes are single-family detached. Two- and three-family houses have more entries, stairs and parking, and owners often tackle them one item at a time.
On the Lake Hitchcock clays under parts of Hartford, drainage and base depth decide how long any slab lasts.
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.

Permits around the house in Hartford. Driveways, patios and walks on your own lot usually don't need a building permit, though zoning can apply. Aprons and public sidewalks are city 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 Hartford: questions
What concrete projects make sense first in Hartford?
For Hartford's housing stock, we'd usually look first at concrete sidewalks, concrete steps and concrete repair. Water and safety items always come before decorative work.
Can you do several projects at my Hartford 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 Hartford?
Driveways and patios on your own lot usually don't need a building permit. Aprons and public sidewalks need a city right-of-way permit, and foundations, walls over 4 feet and often new steps at a door need building permits from Hartford's building department.
