Concrete work for Troy homes and yards
Troy is a short drive south of us in Sidney, and the calls we get there sound a lot like the ones at home. A driveway has dropped at the garage, a patio holds water by the back door, or the front steps have pulled away from the house. Most of them are lived-in homes with a lawn, a garden and a family's routine around the job, which is the kind of work I started this business to do. We do the same work up in Piqua, down in Tipp City and on toward Dayton.
On the older streets near downtown and the river, lots run tighter and drives narrower, so I plan how the truck reaches the pour and how we keep the lawn and beds clean on the way in. Price here moves mostly with the size of the job, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work the ground needs, and the schedule turns on any permit and the curing time before you use the slab. Newer neighborhoods give us more room, but the ground under them still decides how long a slab stays put.
What we pour and fix in Troy
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has sunk at the garage or cracked across, we tear it out, dig to firm ground and pour new.

Many older patios hold water against the house, so we set the new slab to fall away and send rain to the yard.

Stamped concrete gives a patio or front walk the pattern of stone or brick in one poured slab, without pavers to reset.

We replace front walks and side paths that have heaved or tipped, so the walk from the drive to your door is flat again.

We break out cracked, chipping garage floors and repour them with a slight fall toward the door, so water runs out instead of pooling.

Color, exposed stone and borders let a plain slab suit the house beside it, whether that's older brick or newer siding.

Where a yard slopes toward the house or the drive, a poured wall holds the soil back and gives you level ground.

Basement, shop and addition floors get a dug-out, packed base under the slab, so the floor sits flat and stays put.

Around an in-ground pool we pour a deck that drains away from the water, with a lightly brushed broom finish so wet feet grip.

Front steps that have settled away from the house or crumbled at the edges get torn out and repoured with steps of even height.

For a new garage, addition or shed, we pour the slab it stands on, starting with ground that's dug out and packed firm.

We form and pour foundations for additions and outbuildings on lived-in properties, working around your yard, driveway and daily routine.

Owners of small commercial properties call us for lots and aprons laid out so water runs to the drains, not into the spaces.

Footings carry a porch, deck or wall, and since I learned the trade pouring them, we dig each one to firm, undisturbed ground.

If a slab or a corner of the house has dropped, we find out why it sank before we raise it back up.

We saw out a section of old slab for a new walk, a drain line or a wider drive, and leave clean, straight edges.

What a Troy slab needs to stay put
Most sunken slabs I'm asked to look at went down because the subgrade, the ground the concrete sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled right along with the loose dirt. We dig to firm ground and pack the base, and I check where your water runs before we set a form, because a slab that falls toward the house sends rain to your foundation. That base is hidden the day we pour, which makes it the first thing people want to cut from a budget, but I'd rather trim the finish than the base, since a nice surface on soft ground won't stay put.
Concrete can crack as it dries and moves, and I won't pretend otherwise. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight place to form, while the slab is fresh, we set rebar, the steel inside the slab that holds the pieces together, and we pour early in the day so the top doesn't dry too fast and turn dusty.

Questions from Troy homeowners
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete patio in Troy, Ohio?
Plan on one, because the City of Troy lists patios among the accessory buildings that need a city zoning permit, which checks setbacks, height and lot coverage. The city's list doesn't name driveways or walks, so for those we ask the city before we schedule. When a permit is needed, we take care of the application or help you with the parts that need your signature.
Who issues building permits in Troy, OH, and where do I get the application?
The Miami County Building Department issues building permits for Troy, and its review covers construction materials, plumbing and electrical work. The residential application and the county's residential fees are on its permits page. A project inside city limits may need this county permit and a city zoning permit, and the city's zoning applications are on its website, at City Hall or by phone at 937-339-9481.
How do I check if my house is inside Troy city limits?
Look up your parcel on the Miami County Auditor's website, because a parcel number that starts with D08 or D45 is inside Troy's corporate limits. Either way, before we schedule the work we check which office covers your address and what it asks for, and we tell you what we find.
What goes on the site plan for a Troy zoning permit?
The site plan shows where the new patio or structure will sit on your lot, with the setbacks to every surrounding property line and the distance from any building already there. The city doesn't locate property lines, so if you're unsure where yours runs, it points owners to a professional engineer, surveyor or title company.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Troy, OH?
The cost of a Troy driveway comes down to its size, how much old concrete we break out and haul away, and how deep we dig and pack the base. Thickness, steel and the finish move it too, so a plain broom finish on a simple shape costs less than stamping or color, and tight access on a narrow lot adds time. After I walk the job, you'll have in writing what the work includes, so you can compare it line by line.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on a new slab well before you can drive on it, because curing, the slow hardening that goes on after the pour, keeps going long after the top looks dry. I tell you before we pour when it's safe to walk on and when the car can go back on, so you can plan where to park in the meantime.
