Concrete Driveway Contractors?
Any recommendations for good concrete contractors?
I need to replace my concrete driveway and pour a new patio in the back yard.
Thanks

We had to replace the driveway in our previous home. I don't have their names but I called a bunch of guys from the Greensheet. Got lots of bids and ended up with a price much lower than all the other bids and it was great quality work. I called their refrences and actually drove to those homes to inspect the work. Good luck!

Patterned Concrete by Rick Davis. They also do brushed concrete (standard driveway) as well. I've used them 3 times now and they do an EXCELLENT job. I used them for my back patio (patterned concrete) and for around the pool at this house. Saving up for the driveway, it's a long one.

about how much did you guys pay for a complete driveway? What was the size of your driveway? I have a driveway about 10' by 25' that I may need to replace soon, but definitely the sidewalk portion of it, but I have no clue how much it would cost just to fix the sidewalk, or the whole driveway. Any help would be appreciated.

I got a bid for a very short driveway in Galveston and it was over $2000. I havent done it yet and I am interested in how this compares to the bids others have gotten.

It's about 4.50 a sq foot for a quality, brushed concrete driveway. That price probably won't include the haul off the old concrete.
The important thing is to run any needed drainage down the driveway area after the old one is removed. Most quality companies can run that PVC for you.
