Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete pricing varies based on thickness, reinforcement, site access, and finish, so per-square-foot estimates online can be misleading. We provide a free, itemized, in-person estimate for every project so you know exactly what you're paying for before work begins.

Permit requirements vary by city and county across the Charleston area. We're familiar with local requirements in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, and surrounding municipalities, and we'll let you know if your project needs a permit before work begins.

Concrete typically lasts longer than asphalt, holds up better to Charleston heat without softening, requires less maintenance, and offers more design options like stamping and coloring. Asphalt can cost less upfront but usually needs resealing and more frequent repairs.

We monitor weather closely and schedule pours to avoid heavy rain during placement and initial cure. Charleston summers require extra attention to curing to prevent surface cracking, which our crews manage with proper timing and curing techniques.

Properly installed concrete driveways, patios, and slabs typically last 25 to 40 years or more with basic care like sealing and prompt crack repair. Proper base prep and reinforcement, which we handle on every job, are the biggest factors in long-term durability.

Scheduling depends on the season and current workload, but we recommend reaching out a few weeks ahead for residential projects and further in advance for larger commercial jobs. Call us and we'll give you a realistic timeline based on current availability.
