Concrete around West Hartford homes
28% of West 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. West Hartford's housing mixes single-family homes (63%) with condos and multi-family buildings, so work ranges from a homeowner's patio to an association's walks and steps.
Near the Talcott Mountain ridge, ledge close to the surface shapes a lot of projects, from footing depths to where a patio can sit.
The median home in West Hartford was built in 1955, older than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's older than nearby Farmington, where the median is 1980.

Permits around the house in West 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 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.
