Concrete around New Britain homes
30% of New Britain'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 31% of New Britain'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 most New Britain lots the build is our standard: compacted gravel base, air-entrained concrete, joints planned and cleanup included.
The median home in New Britain was built in 1956, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Newington, where the median is 1967.

Permits around the house in New Britain. 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.
