What garage floor concrete work covers
At Benchmark White Plains Concrete Company, garage floor concrete is one of two jobs. We either pour a new slab, or we bond an overlay, a thin new top layer, onto an old floor that's still sound. A garage slab sits at the thicker end of what Westchester homes use for floors, since it carries a car and not just furniture.
Your price moves with the garage's size, whether we resurface or tear out and repour, and how much steel goes in. Your schedule turns on removal, any permit and the cure before you park. If the old floor has to come out in pieces, our concrete cutting work handles that, and I put your price in writing.
Base comes first
Tight budget? Trim the finish, not the packed ground the slab sits on.
Joints cut on time
Control joints are shallow cuts that give cracks a straight place to go.
Falls toward the door
We slope the floor so melting snow off the car runs out, not in.
Steel where it counts
Rebar is steel bar inside the slab that helps hold cracked pieces together.

Why people in White Plains call Benchmark
I walk every garage myself
I come out to every job and write the estimate myself, and a small crew I trust does the work, usually with me there for the pour.
Prepped before the truck arrives
I came to concrete from busy restaurant kitchens, and the rule carries over, so the base, forms and plan are set before the truck shows up.
Licensed and insured for your garage
We're fully licensed and insured, so the crew cutting, forming and pouring in your garage is covered the whole time we're working there.

I explain each step in plain words as we go, so you know what's happening in your garage and why.
Call or send the form
Call (914) 259-5254 or send the form with your garage size and any cracks you've seen.
I come out and measure
I look at the floor, measure, talk it through with you and send a written estimate that spells out what's included.

We clean up, then I walk the new floor with you and tell you when it's ready for the car.
Garage floor questions, answered plainly
Here are straight answers on garage floors, and if your question isn't on the list, just ask me.
Ask us directly
Call (914) 259-5254 or send the form with anything this list doesn't cover, and I'll answer it plainly.
Should I resurface or replace my garage floor in White Plains?
Resurface only if the old slab is sound and staying put, because an overlay won't stop a floor that's still moving. If yours is shifting, it needs a new slab, not a new top. That's the first thing I figure out on my visit, before we talk about anything else.
What does a concrete slab cost in Westchester County?
A concrete slab in Westchester County usually costs about $7 to $14 per square foot, and that's a general slab price, not one for garages alone. Reinforced concrete runs higher per foot than a plain pad, and staining or stamping usually isn't in that figure. I'll measure yours and put the price in writing, with satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
How soon can I park on a new concrete garage floor?
To be safe, give it about a week before you park, though you can usually walk on it within 48 hours. Concrete keeps curing, slowly hardening and gaining strength, for about a month, so plan on that week without the garage when we pick the pour date.
Do I need air-entrained concrete if I park salty cars in the garage?
Yes, according to Concrete Alberta's guide, which says even salt carried in on cars can cause severe scaling, where the top flakes off, on a new garage slab, and calls air-entrained concrete a must. If you park salty cars inside, I make sure the mix we order can take it, and you're welcome to ask whether your quote lists an air-entrained mix.
How do I know a contractor is licensed in Westchester?
Check the county's list. Westchester law requires home improvement contractors to hold a county license, and the Department of Consumer Protection keeps a list of licensed contractors you can search. Look us up there before you sign anything.
Will a new concrete garage floor crack like my old one?
It might show a crack or two, and a national slab guide says some cracking is normal on every project and doesn't by itself mean the work was bad. What we control is where cracks show up, which is why we pack the base first and cut control joints on time.
