Concrete around Wallingford homes
Half of Wallingford's homes were built before 1973, which puts a lot of original driveways, steps and patios at the end of their life at about the same time. Wallingford's housing mixes single-family homes (61%) with condos and multi-family buildings, so work ranges from a homeowner's patio to an association's walks and steps.
On most Wallingford lots the build is our standard: compacted gravel base, air-entrained concrete, joints planned and cleanup included.
The median home in Wallingford was built in 1973, 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 Wallingford. 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 Wallingford: questions
What concrete projects make sense first in Wallingford?
For Wallingford'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 Wallingford 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 Wallingford?
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 Wallingford's building department.
