From front steps to a hot tub pad, we handle the concrete around Anchorage homes. Many houses here have forty-year-old slabs that have heaved or pitted. We walk the property with you and say what can be repaired and what should be replaced.
Residential work covers everything concrete around a house: the driveway, the garage apron, front steps, walks, a patio, a shed pad, a slab for a hot tub or a generator. On most Anchorage homes these were poured at different times by different crews, and they have aged differently. We often start with a walk around the house to see what is still sound and what is not.
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s make up much of the city, and their concrete is now forty or fifty years old. Typical problems are front steps that have pulled away from the house, an apron that has sunk at the garage door, walks with a lip at every joint and a garage floor pitted by road deicer. Some can be repaired. Others were poured on poor ground and should be replaced on a proper base.
It usually costs less to do related work in one visit, because the excavator, the forms and the concrete truck are already on site. The season is short, so the best time to call is late winter or early spring, before the calendar fills. Estimates are free and done on site, with measurements and a written quote that lists the base, the thickness, the finish and the haul-away.
Residential concrete in Anchorage: common questions
My front steps have pulled away from the house. Can they be fixed?
Sometimes they can be lifted and re-supported. Often the steps were poured on backfill that settled or heaved, and replacing them on a footing that goes below frost is the fix that lasts.
When should I book concrete work in Anchorage?
Call in late winter or early spring. Pouring runs from about May to September, and that short window fills quickly. Estimates can be done as soon as the snow is off the area.
Do I need a permit for a patio or walkway at my house?
The Municipality of Anchorage lists walks, platforms and driveways not more than 30 inches above grade as exempt from a building permit. Work in the street right of way and anything structural is different, and we check it for you.
