Concrete around New Canaan homes
Half of New Canaan's homes were built before 1967, which puts a lot of original driveways, steps and patios at the end of their life at about the same time. New Canaan's housing mixes single-family homes (73%) with condos and multi-family buildings, so work ranges from a homeowner's patio to an association's walks and steps.
Ledge close to the surface shapes a lot of New Canaan projects, from footing depths to where a patio can sit.
The median home in New Canaan was built in 1967, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Darien (median 1957) and older than Stamford (1972).

Permits around the house in New Canaan. 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 New Canaan: questions
What concrete projects make sense first in New Canaan?
For New Canaan'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 New Canaan 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 New Canaan?
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 New Canaan's building department.
