Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete projects raise real questions about cost, timing, materials, and quality. Here are answers to the ones we hear most from clients across Durham, NC and the Triangle.
Are you licensed and insured for concrete work in Durham, NC?
Yes. ADR Construction is fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial concrete work across North Carolina. Every project is covered, which protects both you as the property owner and our team throughout the job. We are happy to share proof of licensing and insurance before any work begins, and we recommend asking any concrete contractor for the same before you sign a contract.
What types of concrete projects do you handle?
We handle a wide range of concrete work, including driveways, patios, sidewalks and walkways, garage floors, stamped concrete, structural slabs, footings, and grading. Whether you are pouring a brand new driveway, replacing an old patio, or preparing a slab for a shed or metal building, we have the equipment and hands-on experience for the job. Our work spans residential and commercial projects, so no scope is too small or too large to discuss.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Durham, NC?
Concrete driveway costs vary based on square footage, thickness, finish, site preparation needs, and access to the pour location. For most residential driveways in the Durham area, you can expect a range between $8 and $18 per square foot for a standard broom finish. Stamped, colored, or decorative work typically costs more because of the added materials and labor. We provide detailed written estimates after a site review so you know exactly what your project involves before any work starts.
Do you offer concrete removal and replacement?
Yes. We remove old, cracked, sunken, or failing concrete and replace it with fresh work poured on a properly prepared base. This is one of our most common projects for driveways, sidewalks, and patios that have shifted or cracked over the years. We handle the demolition, haul-off, base prep, and new pour under one contract so you are not juggling multiple contractors or paying separate crews for each stage.
How long does a concrete project usually take?
Timing depends on the scope of the work. A standard residential driveway usually takes one to three days of active work, plus curing time before you can drive on the surface. Patios and sidewalks often finish in a single day of pouring. Larger commercial slabs or projects with heavy site prep take longer. We give you a real timeline during the estimate stage so you can plan around the work and avoid any surprises on your schedule.
Do you install concrete slabs for sheds, garages, or metal buildings?
Yes. Slab work for sheds, detached garages, HVAC pads, and metal buildings is a regular part of our residential and commercial work. Proper grading, base preparation, and slab thickness matter a great deal for these projects, and we handle each step so the structure sitting on top has a solid, level foundation. Bring us the dimensions and intended use, and we will walk you through the recommended slab spec for your project.
Do you pour stamped concrete driveways and patios?
Yes. Stamped concrete is one of our most requested services, especially for driveways, patios, and walkways where property owners want a decorative finish. We work with a wide range of patterns, textures, and color options so the finished surface complements your home and landscape. Stamped concrete gives you the visual appeal of stone, brick, slate, or wood combined with the strength and lifespan of a poured concrete slab underneath.
Can you match concrete colors and finishes to my existing home?
Absolutely. Before we finalize a stamped or decorative concrete design, we review the color palette of your home, including the roof, siding, trim, and any existing hardscape. The goal is a finished pour that looks intentional, adds to the property, and fits naturally with what is already there. Small color and pattern decisions make a big difference in the final look, and we spend time on this part of the process for that exact reason.
What areas do you serve outside of Durham?
We serve homeowners and businesses across the Triangle region, including Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, and Apex. If you are located within our service radius and have a concrete project in mind, we would be glad to hear about it. Reach out through the form or by phone and we can confirm coverage during the initial consultation and set up a site visit if the project is a fit for our team.
Do you offer any warranty on your concrete work?
Yes. We back our work with a warranty that covers any crack larger than one-quarter inch. Concrete naturally develops fine surface hairline cracks as it cures, and those are considered normal. However, structural cracking that goes beyond that hairline threshold is something we take full responsibility for. If it happens within the warranty period, we come back and fix it, no arguments and no surprise charges.
Can you replace an old, cracked concrete driveway?
Yes. Driveway replacement is one of our most common projects across Durham and the Triangle. Older driveways often develop cracks, settle unevenly, or fail at the surface after years of use, weather cycles, and root growth from nearby trees. We remove the old slab, prep the base properly, and pour a fresh driveway designed to last far longer than a patch or resurface job would. In most cases, replacement is a smarter long-term investment than repeat repairs.
How soon can you start on a concrete project?
We usually respond to new inquiries within 15 to 30 minutes during business hours and schedule site visits shortly after. Actual project start dates depend on scope, weather, and our current project load, but we work to book you in as quickly as possible without rushing the prep work that makes concrete last. We would rather start the pour a week later and get the base right than rush the job and deal with problems down the line.
Do you handle both residential and commercial concrete jobs?
Yes. Our work is roughly ninety percent residential and ten percent commercial, but we take on both. Residential clients typically hire us for driveways, patios, walkways, and garage floors. Commercial clients bring us slabs, sidewalks, footings, and site preparation for smaller commercial builds. Whether the project is a home driveway or a commercial slab pour, we bring the same standards and the same crew.
What is the best time of year to pour concrete in North Carolina?
Concrete can be poured year-round in North Carolina, but spring and fall generally offer the most stable pouring conditions. Extreme summer heat speeds up curing and requires extra care with water and timing. Cold snaps in winter require insulation, admixtures, and careful scheduling. We plan pours around the weather and daily temperature range so the concrete cures properly regardless of season, and we let you know if a delay would actually give you a better result.
Who will be my point of contact during the project?
The owner is directly involved with every ADR Construction project. From the first phone call through the final walkthrough, you have one point of contact who knows your job, your timeline, and the specifics of the site. This is one of the biggest reasons clients pick a family-owned concrete company over larger operations. When you call, you get someone who knows the details and can make decisions on the spot.
