New Concrete Installation & Replacement
Whether you're adding new concrete to your property or replacing an existing surface that has reached the end of its useful life, we can handle the project from preparation through the finished installation.
For replacement projects, our work can include demolition, removal of existing concrete, excavation, grading, base preparation, forming, reinforcement when required, concrete placement, finishing, and cleanup.
Charlie Concrete Company specializes in new concrete installation and complete concrete replacement. We do not offer crack repair, resurfacing, overlays, or concrete leveling.
More Than Just Pouring Concrete
A quality concrete project starts before the concrete truck arrives.
Site conditions, preparation, grading, base conditions, reinforcement, drainage, concrete specifications, joint placement, finishing, and curing can all play a role in how the finished concrete performs.
Because every property and project is different, we evaluate the specific conditions and intended use rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Residential Concrete FAQs
How much does a residential concrete project cost?
Concrete pricing depends on the size and scope of the project, site conditions, access, demolition, preparation, reinforcement, concrete specifications, finish, and other project requirements. The best way to determine pricing is to evaluate the specific project.
How long does a residential concrete project take?
Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the work. Smaller projects may be completed relatively quickly, while projects involving significant demolition, preparation, drainage, decorative work, or multiple areas may require additional time.
How thick should residential concrete be?
Concrete thickness depends on how the area will be used and the requirements of the project. A patio or walkway may have different requirements than a driveway, foundation, or area supporting heavier loads.
Does concrete need rebar?
Not every concrete project requires the same reinforcement. Rebar or other reinforcement may be used depending on the intended use, project design, plans, specifications, and site conditions.
Do you remove existing concrete?
Yes. For concrete replacement projects, we can remove and dispose of existing concrete as part of the project scope.
Can you pour new concrete over existing concrete?
We specialize in new concrete installation and complete replacement. If you have an existing slab, we can evaluate removing it and preparing the area for new concrete. We do not offer concrete overlays or resurfacing.
Why does concrete crack?
Concrete naturally expands, contracts, and changes as it cures and responds to temperature, moisture, soil movement, and loads. Proper preparation, reinforcement when appropriate, and planned joints can help manage cracking, but no contractor can guarantee that concrete will never crack.
What concrete finish should I choose?
That depends on where the concrete will be installed, how the area will be used, and the appearance you want. We can discuss practical and decorative finish options based on your project.
Do you offer stamped and colored concrete?
Yes. We offer decorative options including stamped and colored concrete for homeowners looking for something beyond traditional gray concrete.
Do you handle demolition and site preparation?
Yes. Depending on the scope of the project, we can handle demolition, excavation, grading, base preparation, forming, reinforcement, concrete placement, finishing, and cleanup.
Do you repair cracks or resurface existing concrete?
Charlie Concrete Company focuses on new concrete installation and complete concrete replacement. We do not offer crack filling, resurfacing, overlays, or concrete leveling.
