How the Work Gets Done on Site

The crew begins by preparing the base according to your site conditions in Rochester, making sure the subgrade is compacted and the forms are level and square. Rebar or mesh is placed where needed for reinforcement, and the pour is timed so the concrete can be finished before it sets too quickly or too slowly depending on the weather that day.

After the concrete is poured, you will notice a surface that cures evenly, drains correctly, and stays level under regular use. The edges are clean, the finish is consistent, and the slab is built to handle the weight and conditions it will face over the years.

This service does not include decorative stamps or color additives unless requested separately. It focuses on structural integrity, proper slope, and long-term performance. The work wraps up with curing practices that help the concrete reach full strength before you use it.

Questions That Come Up Before Starting

Homeowners in Rochester often ask about frost depth, curing time, and how the concrete will hold up once winter arrives. Here are answers to the most common concerns before the work begins.

What does frost depth consideration mean for concrete work?
It means the base and footings are set below the level where ground freezes in Rochester, typically around four feet, so the concrete does not shift when the soil expands. This keeps the slab stable year after year.
How long does the concrete need to cure before I can use it?
You can walk on it after about 24 to 48 hours, but you should wait at least seven days before driving on it or placing heavy loads. Full strength develops over about 28 days.
What happens if it rains right after the pour?
Light rain after the surface is finished usually does not cause problems, but heavy rain during the pour or finishing stage can weaken the surface. The crew monitors the forecast and adjusts the schedule when needed.
Why does drainage matter for a concrete slab?
If water pools on or under the slab, it can cause erosion, cracking, or frost heave during winter months in Rochester. Proper grading and slope direct water away so the concrete stays supported.
What is included in the site preparation?
Site prep includes clearing the area, grading the subgrade, compacting the base material, and setting the forms. Reinforcement such as rebar or wire mesh is placed before the pour to add strength.
