Concrete Contractor serving Takoma Park, MD

Properties in Takoma Park face different challenges than newer suburbs. The soil composition here, combined with decades of freeze-thaw cycles, means concrete ages differently. You might notice cracks in your driveway that seem to grow every winter, or sections of your walkway that have started to sink. These aren't just cosmetic issues, they're signs that your concrete needs attention.

We work with many homeowners who are updating their outdoor spaces while preserving their home's character. A new stamped concrete patio can add modern entertaining space without clashing with your Craftsman or Colonial style home. We help you choose patterns and colors that complement your existing architecture.

Drainage is another big concern in this area. With Sligo Creek running through town and occasional heavy rains, proper water management around your concrete is crucial. We make sure your new driveway, patio, or walkway slopes correctly to direct water away from your foundation. Many older homes in Takoma Park never had this addressed properly, and we can fix that during your concrete project.

The community's tree canopy is beautiful, but it creates extra wear on concrete surfaces. We've developed techniques for installing driveways and walkways that can better withstand root pressure over time. If you're tired of patching the same spots every few years, we can show you more permanent solutions.

Most calls we get from Takoma Park homeowners involve one of a few recurring issues. Cracked driveways top the list. Between the winter freeze-thaw cycles and the age of many properties, driveway damage is almost inevitable after 15 or 20 years. We can repair minor cracks or do a complete replacement depending on the extent of the damage.

Uneven walkways are another frequent problem, especially on properties with large trees. As roots grow and shift the soil, concrete sections can lift or sink. This creates tripping hazards and looks rough. We offer concrete leveling services that can raise sunken slabs without tearing everything out, saving you money and hassle.

Many older homes in Takoma Park have small back patios or no patio at all. Homeowners often want to expand their outdoor living space to better enjoy their yards. We design and install patios that work with your home's style and your lot's layout, including working around mature trees and existing landscaping.

Foundation issues sometimes show up during other concrete work. If we notice signs of foundation settling or water damage, we'll let you know right away. While we focus on driveways, patios, and walkways, we can refer you to specialists for major foundation repairs. However, we can handle many smaller foundation-related concrete projects ourselves, like replacing deteriorated basement steps or fixing cracked foundation walls.
