Cost depends on square footage, slab thickness, site prep and finish (broom, exposed aggregate or stamped). We walk every site in person and give a written, itemized free estimate — call (219) 955-2164 or use the quote form on this page.
Yes. Cold-weather concrete work is common in this region — it requires ground protection, insulated blankets and mix adjustments so the pour cures properly instead of freezing. We evaluate weather and site conditions before scheduling any winter pour.
Concrete is typically firm enough to walk on after 24–48 hours and ready for vehicle weight (driveways, garage slabs) after about 7 days, with full cure strength reached around 28 days. Exact timing depends on mix design, thickness and weather.
A regular slab is a smooth or broom-finished pour. Stamped concrete uses textured mats and color hardener while the concrete is still workable, so it mimics stone, brick or slate — popular for patios and porches where appearance matters as much as durability.
It depends on your municipality and the scope of the project — some cities in Cook, Lake, Porter and La Porte Counties require a permit for driveways or slabs, others don't for like-for-like replacement. We can tell you what applies to your address when we quote the job.
