What we build in Harrison
Concrete driveway building
If your driveway has sunk at the edges or holds puddles by the garage, we dig it out, pack a new base and pour it pitched to drain.
Concrete patio construction
A patio out back should shed rain away from the house, not toward it. We set the slope before the pour so water runs where you want it.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a Harrison patio or walk the look of stone or brick in one pour, with color and pattern pressed in while the concrete is soft.
Concrete sidewalk building
Where a front walk has heaved into a trip hazard, we pull the old sections, regrade underneath and pour new ones with cut joints.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked, dusty garage floor usually means a thin slab or a weak top. We pour a new one thick enough for the car and finished smooth.
Decorative concrete
Color, scoring or a finish with the stone showing can dress up a slab. We help you pick one that suits your house and still grips when wet.
Concrete retaining walls
When a yard slopes toward the house or a bank keeps sliding onto the drive, a concrete retaining wall with drainage behind it holds the soil back.
Concrete floor installation
For a basement, workshop or addition that needs a new floor, we pack the ground underneath first and then pour the slab level from wall to wall.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck has to drain away from the water and stay grippy under bare feet, so we pitch it and give it a textured finish.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps that have crumbled or pulled away from the house usually need replacing, and we pour new ones with every step the same height.
Slab foundation building
For a garage, shed or addition on a slab, we dig out, pack the base and lay rebar, steel bars that tie the slab together.
Foundation installation
New additions and outbuildings need a foundation poured to the plans, and we set the forms so the framers start on something square and level.
Concrete parking lot building
Where a lot or shared drive has to carry more cars and heavier trucks than a home driveway, we pour it thicker and plan where the water drains.
Concrete footings
Decks, porches and additions sit on footings, the concrete pads under the posts and walls, and we dig them to the depth the plans call for.
Foundation raising
If part of your house or slab has dropped and doors stick or floors slope, we look at why it moved before we talk about lifting it.
Concrete cutting
When you need a trench through a slab, an opening in a wall or a clean edge for a repair, we saw it straight.

Price turns on size, tear-out and base work, and the schedule on permits and the pour date. The written estimate puts your price on paper.
One application per job type
Harrison wants a separate permit application for each type of work, so a new driveway plus a retaining wall can mean two applications.
Tear-out containers need a form
Tearing out an old slab can mean a container, and Harrison has a form for temporary containers and construction debris, so we check on it first.
Regrading and slopes
If your job moves a lot of dirt or sits on a slope, I'll check Harrison's permit forms for fill, regrading, excavation and steep slopes first.
What I check on the visit
When I come out, I look at where the water runs and why the old slab cracked or sank, because that tells me what the base needs.

Who issues permits for a concrete driveway or wall in Harrison, NY?
Harrison's Building office does, and driveways, walls and pools are all on its list of permitted work. You can reach it at 914-670-3050 or find the forms on its applications page. We handle the paperwork when your job needs a permit and tell you up front that this is the office we'll be working with.
Does a concrete contractor need a Westchester County license?
Yes, Westchester law requires home improvement contractors to hold a county license, and the county keeps a list of licensed contractors you can check before you hire anyone. Harrison also requires proper license or insurance for every permit it issues. We're licensed and insured, so ask me about it at the estimate.
How far ahead do I need to book a building inspection in Harrison?
Harrison's inspection rules say to request them 24 to 48 hours ahead, and that's the permit holder's job, with the required inspections listed on the permit. Miss one and you can get a Stop Work Order, which halts the job. When we handle your permit, we time the pour around those inspections like plates in a dinner rush.
Which building code applies to concrete work in Harrison now?
New York State's updated Uniform Code and Energy Code apply, and they took effect at the end of 2025, according to Harrison's Building office. Together they set the building, fire and energy rules for construction, and the Uniform Code now takes in the 2025 Residential Code of New York State. That's the rulebook a permitted footing, foundation or wall here is held to.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Some fine cracking is normal, but a slab on a dug-out, packed base shouldn't sink or crack all over like one poured on raked dirt. That base is the prep you don't see, so it's the last thing I'd cut from a budget. We also cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned place to run.
