Concrete patios are just plain fun and comfort. You can park your chairs and tables out there in any configuration you want, and not have to deal with the bugs and dirt that come with sitting n the grass. Ever have your chair sink into the grass, and then you have to get up and pull it out, along with a big plug of dirt? It's not very pleasant. We can guarantee you that won't happen on a concrete patio. We can install a nice railing to set it off from the yard, or leave it open with nice, rounded corners for a welcoming, inviting look.

You've probably heard the expression, "A house is only as good as the foundation it's built on." What this means is that you can have the coolest, neatest designed house, but if it is not placed on a solid foundation, it will not stand for long. That is why Colonial Concrete prides itself on the foundations that it builds, as the buildings that rest on them are still standing today, and will for many years. In truth, not many people think about foundations because they are rarely seen. Often underground as basement walls, they do their job silently and steadily, but if they were to go wrong, you would know pretty quickly, as the building would collapse, or the basement would leak.

You've driven by houses that do not have concrete sidewalks. There is something unfinished looking about them, as if the builders got their money and left. You can fix that by installing new concrete sidewalks, or rehabbing your old ones. We'll estimate the amount of concrete you'll need, and of course, if you are in a development with existing sidewalks, you are probably going to have to match them. Your contractor can get imaginative is with concrete walkways. These ribbons can add a decorative touch to your landscape scheme, and have many different types of finishes to accent a patio or lead to a nice, concrete driveway.

Concrete slabs and pads are the predominant support structure of air conditioner units and heat pumps across the country. Why? Because they work. They keep your expensive AC units or heat pumps from sitting on shifting slate or (even worse), the dirt, which shortens the life of the unit by years! What makes concrete slabs so great is they are so durable. Concrete is made of cement mixed with water and other aggregate materials such as gravel, and sand, and other chemicals that are bonded together in such a way that creates one of the best building materials in the world.

Choosing concrete floors may seem somewhat unconventional, but more building owners are realizing their benefits. When you enter most houses with wood floors, you will usually hear squeaking or other flex noises. This can become quite tiresome, and make you feel like you're walking through an old museum. While that may be fine for old museums, its not the the impression you want your home to make. Concrete floors are durable and strong. They don't warp the way wood floors can, and they don't stain easily.

Concrete retaining walls serve a very useful purpose; they keep dirt where it should be. Retaining walls provide lateral support to vertical slopes of soil. They retain soil which would otherwise collapse into a more natural shape. The retained soil is sometimes referred to as backfill. Retaining walls can be constructed of many different materials and with a variety of building techniques. Generally, retaining walls are built from the bottom up, where the soil to retain is temporarily shored up, until the newly constructed wall can hold its considerable weight.
