Concrete work in Stamford, CT and nearby cities

Caliber Stamford Concrete is a concrete contractor in Stamford, CT, and our 16 services below run from a new patio to raising a foundation that's settled. Most calls start with cracks, sinking or water pooling where it shouldn't, and the fix usually starts under the surface. The price mostly turns on the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work your ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on any permit review, a good day to pour and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength before you use it. Your written estimate spells out the prep, the mix and what's included.

  • Concrete driveway building

    We build new concrete driveways for homeowners on a base that's dug out and packed, not raked level, and pitched so water runs away from your garage and house.

  • Concrete patio construction

    Want a spot for the grill and a table that doesn't rock? We pour concrete patios for backyards with a broom finish, a light brushed texture for grip, and a slope that sheds rain.

  • Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so homeowners can have a patio, walk or pool deck that looks like stone or brick without laying every piece by hand.

  • Concrete sidewalk building

    A walk that's heaved or chipped is a trip waiting to happen. We pour new sidewalks and front walks with control joints, shallow cuts that give cracks a planned place to go.

  • Garage floor concrete

    Garage floors carry cars, jacks and heavy toolboxes, so we pour them over a packed base with rebar where the job calls for it, steel bars that keep a cracked slab from pulling apart.

  • Decorative concrete

    Decorative concrete covers colored mixes, stains, exposed stone and custom borders, for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry that looks designed instead of just poured.

  • Concrete retaining walls

    When a slope keeps washing into your yard or driveway, a concrete retaining wall holds the dirt back. We build them for homes and lots with drainage behind so water has a way out.

  • Concrete floor installation

    We pour interior concrete floors for basements, workshops and commercial spaces, finished smooth and level so the floor can be used as it is or covered later.

  • Concrete pool decks

    Around an in-ground pool, we pour a deck with a textured surface for wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and the house.

  • Concrete steps construction

    Front or back steps that crumble or pull away from the house? We form and pour new concrete steps with even rises and a landing sized for the door.

  • Slab foundation building

    A slab foundation is one pour that a garage, addition or outbuilding sits on, and we build it on packed subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, for homeowners and property managers.

    Explore service

  • Foundation installation

    We form and pour foundation walls for new homes, additions and commercial buildings, because everything built above depends on them being square, level and in the right place.

  • Concrete parking lot building

    Property managers call us when a lot is cracked, sinking or pooling water. We build new concrete parking lots with the base, drainage and joints planned for daily traffic.

  • Concrete footings

    Footings are the wide concrete pads or strips under a wall, deck post or porch that spread the weight. We dig and pour them to the size and depth the plans call for.

  • Foundation raising

    If a slab or foundation has settled and left floors, steps or a garage out of level, foundation raising lifts it back toward level so it may not have to be torn out.

  • Concrete cutting

    Need a new doorway, a trench for a pipe or a bad section taken out? We saw-cut concrete for homeowners, contractors and property managers with clean, straight edges.

What finished concrete work looks like

These photos show the kinds of concrete work we do, from flatwork like driveways, walks and patios to steps and walls. Every slab looks good the day it's poured, so ask what's under it.

Why homeowners and property managers hire us for concrete

We're a small outfit, and the reasons people hire us come down to how the job gets done. Most of it happens before the truck shows up or under the slab where you won't see it.

The base gets the budget before the finish

On day one, a good base and a bad one look the same, because both are under the concrete. That's why the base is the first thing cut when money gets tight, and why I won't cut it. A nice-looking slab on raked dirt settles with the dirt, and one that falls toward your house sends water right where you don't want it.

So we dig out to firm ground, pack the base and check where the water runs before anything gets formed. If you need to save money, I'd rather you pick a plainer finish than a thinner base. A plain slab over good prep usually holds up better than a fancy pattern over bad prep. You can dress up a surface later. The base you only get one shot at.

  • The owner, start to finish

    I walk your yard, measure and write the estimate myself, and I'm on site for the steps that matter most. You won't be handed off to someone hearing about your job for the first time on pour day.

  • Joints cut where cracks belong

    Concrete cracks. It's sort of a hobby. We cut the control joints on time instead of late, so cracks usually land in lines we picked instead of wandering across the middle of your driveway or patio.

  • Pour days picked for the job

    We plan the mix, the pour and the curing around your job, not our calendar. That means we'd rather move a pour than place concrete in the midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top that shows up later.

  • Clear answers on city requirements

    Before we start, we check with your city's building office and tell you what it wants for your job. In Stamford that's the city's Building Department, which takes building permit applications. If a permit's needed, we handle the application with you, and if the office hasn't answered yet, we say so.

What happens after you call us

Concrete jobs go wrong in the rush, so we keep the steps simple and in order. Here's how it goes from your first call to the day you can use your new concrete.

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (475) 333-3026 or send a few lines about the job through our contact page. We reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out. Photos help if you have them, but I'll be looking at it in person anyway.

  2. Walk the site, get a written estimate

    I come out, walk the site, measure and ask what you need the concrete to do, whether that's parking two cars or holding up a garage. Then you get a written estimate that spells out the prep, the mix and what's included. It's free, and there's no pressure to book.

  3. We do the work

    Once you say go, we set a pour date that makes sense for the job and anything the city needs. My crew digs out, packs the base, sets the forms and pours, and I'm on site for the steps that count most, like checking the base before any concrete goes on it.

  4. Cleanup and walk-through

    We clean up, haul off the old concrete and walk the finished work with you, including what to keep off it while it cures. If something isn't right, I want to hear about it. Satisfaction guaranteed.

A concrete business started by a former landscaper

I ran a small landscaping business for years, and the patios and walks were the part I liked. So I learned concrete working beside a concrete crew and started Caliber Stamford Concrete in 2017. Nine years in, most of our calls still come from homeowners in Stamford and the cities around it, plus some property managers with a lot or a foundation to sort out.

We're licensed and fully insured, and the jobs run from small to big, a single set of steps for one house or a cracked lot for a building manager. The size changes. The approach doesn't, because the same few things decide how any slab holds up. You can read more about how we got started on our about page.

  • Based in Stamford, working in nearby Connecticut cities and across into Westchester.
  • Best known for driveways, patios and steps that drain right and sit flat.
  • We take calls evenings and weekends, so you can reach us after work.

Questions people ask before hiring a concrete contractor

These are the questions we hear most at estimates in Stamford and the cities nearby. If yours isn't here, ask when I come out, since the answer usually depends on your yard.

Do I need to be home for a concrete estimate in Stamford?

It helps, because the best estimates come from walking the site together while you tell me what you need the concrete to do. I measure, look at where the water runs and send the written estimate afterward.

How do I compare two concrete quotes that are far apart in price?

Compare what each written scope does below the surface, because a low quote usually saves its money on the dig, the base or the drainage. Look for how deep they dig, what goes into the base, the slab thickness, any rebar and where joints get cut. If a quote only lists square footage and a price, ask what's underneath.

How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced?

You lose it for the tear-out, the base work and the pour, then for the curing time while the new concrete gains strength. You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I'll give you both dates for your job.

Will my new concrete driveway or patio crack like the old one?

It can still crack, but a packed base, drainage that moves water away and joints cut on time usually keep cracks in the joints where they belong. Old slabs often crack because the dirt under them settled, and that's the part we redo.

What should I do to get ready for a concrete pour?

Clear cars, grills, planters and anything else off the work area, and make sure a concrete truck can get close. Tell us about sprinkler lines, pet fences or anything else buried that you know of, because we'd rather hear about it before we dig than find it with a shovel.

What are the steps of a concrete job from tear-out to finish?

The old concrete comes out, then we dig to firm ground, pack the base, set the forms and any rebar, and pour and finish. After that the joints get cut, the slab cures and the forms come off before you use it.
