Wow, what a fantastic job done by the Richmond VA Concrete Contractors team! We had them over to fix the foundation of our old family home, and they went above and beyond. Not only did they repair it to perfection, but the team was super polite and kept the site clean. Super impressed and totally worth it!

Absolutely thrilled with the work from Richmond VA Concrete Contractors! They installed a new asphalt driveway for us last month, and the difference is night and day. Not only does the driveway look sleek and perfectly smooth, but the crew was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They explained every step of the process, from selection to installation, ensuring we were happy with the final outcome. I’m recommending them to everyone I know!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Here are some of the most common questions folks like you have about residential and commercial concrete services, with some friendly advice from us at Richmond VA Concrete Contractors!:
- What’s the difference between cement and concrete? Cement is just one ingredient—it’s the binder that holds all the other components together. Concrete combines cement with sand, aggregate (like gravel), and water to form a hard, durable material perfect for construction.
- How much concrete do I need for my project? To figure out how much concrete you’ll need, calculate the volume (length x width x height) of the space you want to fill and talk to a supplier like us about the specifics—we can help make sure you get the right amount without over-ordering.
- How much does concrete cost? Costs vary, but on average, concrete can range from $140 to over $200 per cubic yard, depending on factors like materials, labor, and transportation. Please reach out for a quote for more transparent and detailed pricing.
- Can I pour concrete myself? While it’s possible to do some smaller concrete jobs yourself, for best results (especially for larger or more visible projects), hiring a professional like Richmond VA Concrete Contractors ensures you avoid common DIY pitfalls.
- How long does concrete take to dry? Concrete sets enough to walk on within 24 hours, but it takes about 28 days to fully cure and reach maximum strength.
- Can concrete be poured in any weather? Extreme temperatures can cause problems. It’s best to avoid pouring concrete in very hot or cold weather or when it’s raining, as these conditions can affect the strength and finish of the concrete.
- How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway? It’s safe to drive on a new concrete driveway after about 7-10 days, depending on the weather and the specific mix used.
- Do I need to seal concrete? Yes, sealing concrete can protect it from wear, stains, and weather damage, and it’s generally a good idea to reseal surfaces every 2-3 years.
- How do I clean concrete? For regular cleaning, use a mild detergent and a stiff brush. For tougher stains, you might need a power washer or a specialized concrete cleaner.
- What should I do if my concrete cracks? Some cracking is normal due to shrinkage and settling, but if you notice significant or sudden cracking, it’s a good idea to consult a professional to assess whether repairs are needed.
