Concrete work we do in Rye
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk, cracked or started pooling water, we tear it out, dig to firm ground and pour one that drains away.
Concrete patio construction
A backyard patio in Rye is mostly a drainage job with a nice top, so we slope it away from your house before we think about the finish.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone or brick in one pour, pressed into the surface while it's still soft enough to take the pattern.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walks that heave or trip people up get replaced on a packed base and given a broom finish, brushed lines that grip when it's wet.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked or dusty garage floor can be broken out and repoured as a solid slab that handles the car's weight and cleans up easily.
Decorative concrete
Want something besides plain gray? Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and other finishes, and we'll walk you through the options before anything gets ordered.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard drops off or soil keeps sliding onto a driveway, a poured wall holds it back, with drainage behind it so water doesn't push it over.
Concrete floor installation
Basements, sheds and additions need a flat, level concrete floor, and we set the grade carefully so whatever goes on top sits right.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, the deck has to shed splash water away from the pool and stay grippy under bare feet, so we plan slope and texture together.
Concrete steps construction
Front steps take a beating, and crumbling treads are a hazard, so we form and pour new steps with even risers that feel right underfoot.
Slab foundation building
For a garage, shed or addition on a slab, the slab is the foundation, so we dig out, pack the base and set the steel before pouring.
Foundation installation
A new foundation for an addition or detached garage starts with footings and walls set to the plans, built so the framing above stays square.
Concrete parking lot building
Larger paved areas, like a shared lot behind a small building or a long private drive, get the same dug-out base and planned drainage at a bigger scale.
Concrete footings
Decks, porches and additions sit on footings, the concrete pads underground that carry the weight, and we pour them to the depth and size your plans call for.
Foundation raising
If part of your house has settled and doors stick or cracks run up the walls, raising the foundation lifts it back toward level on new support.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway in a foundation wall, a trench through a slab or a clean edge before a repair? We saw-cut it straight, with water to keep dust down.
Pouring concrete for Rye homes
Rye sits on Long Island Sound, with salt marsh along its shore, and we work here from our base in White Plains, as we do in Rye Brook and Harrison.
Price turns on size, how much digging the ground needs and the finish, and timing on any permits and the pour date. Your written estimate gives you the price.
Building in a flood zone
If your house sits in a flood zone, the city has its own rules for building there and a Floodplain Management Permit, so we check that before planning a slab.
Trees and rock have permits
Tree removal has its own permit in Rye under the city's Tree Law, and blasting rock calls for a rock removal permit, so tell me early if either might come up.
Steep slopes and wetlands
Planning handles the city's Steep Slopes and Wetlands and Watercourses permits, so a sloped lot or one near a wetland can add a step before we dig.

Who handles building permits for concrete work in Rye, NY?
The City of Rye's Building Department issues building permits for exterior work, and you can reach it at (914) 967-7372 or building@ryeny.gov. If you're not sure your job needs one, ask the department. When a job does call for a permit, we handle the paperwork and tell you up front which office we're dealing with.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in Westchester County?
For home improvement work, yes. Westchester County licenses contractors, and the application makes them declare any wage nonpayment actions. We're fully licensed and insured. If a plumber or electrician joins the job, say for a garage floor drain, they need their own county trade license, which you can check with the county's Department of Consumer Protection at (914) 995-2657.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one?
A new slab can still crack, but most cracks start underneath, on dirt that was only raked level. We dig out and pack the base and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned place to go. If the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, since once the truck's here you can't send the order back.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You'll be walking on it well before you drive on it, because concrete keeps curing, slowly gaining strength, for days after the pour. The exact wait depends on the mix and the weather that week, so I give you both dates when we pour. We also skip pouring in the midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Rye, NY?
Your price comes from the size, how much old concrete and soft ground has to come out, the base it needs and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and a sloped lot can add forming work. I measure on site and put the price in writing.
