Driveways
Mike's Concrete specializes in durable, low-maintenance driveways designed to withstand heavy vehicle traffic and extreme weather conditions. Our expert team offers customizable finishes including stamped patterns, exposed aggregate textures, and colored concrete options to complement any home's exterior. With proper site preparation, reinforcement, and sealing, our driveways provide lasting curb appeal and increased property value while requiring minimal upkeep over decades of use.
Patios
Transform your backyard with our custom concrete patios that combine beauty and functionality. Available in stamped, broom, or smooth finishes, our patios resist weather damage while creating inviting outdoor spaces for entertaining or relaxation. The installation process includes proper drainage solutions and protective sealing to ensure longevity, with design options that seamlessly integrate with fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and other landscaping features for complete outdoor living solutions.
Concrete Floors
We install high-strength concrete floors for residential and commercial spaces, including garages, basements, warehouses, and retail environments. Our reinforced slabs handle heavy loads while resisting moisture penetration through proper vapor barriers and sealing techniques. Available finishes include polished surfaces for modern aesthetics, broom textures for slip resistance, and stamped patterns for decorative appeal, with customization options to meet specific functional requirements for both residential and industrial applications.
Walkways
Enhance property safety and aesthetics with our durable concrete walkways designed to withstand foot traffic and weather exposure. We offer textured finishes for slip resistance and decorative options that complement architectural styles while ensuring proper grading for water drainage. Our installation process prevents tripping hazards by addressing existing cracks or uneven surfaces, creating smooth, level pathways that maintain structural integrity through freeze-thaw cycles with appropriate joint placement and sealing.
Demolition
Our comprehensive demolition services handle complete removal of old concrete structures including driveways, pool decks, and damaged slabs. We utilize specialized equipment for efficient demolition while minimizing property disturbance, followed by complete debris hauling and site preparation for new installations. The process includes proper disposal of materials and grading for subsequent projects, ensuring safe, clean job sites ready for replacement concrete work with minimal disruption to property owners.

Mike's did our huge driveway in stamped concrete several years ago. We were thrilled with the workmanship and professional, courteous staff both then and now. Mike's just returned and applied new sealant. It looks just as spectacular as the day it was poured. Don't hesitate to call Mike's; excellent work and exceptional to work with!

NOT HAPPY!!!
Had a front walkway put in last April....Peter was a nice guy....until I saw that the walkway was off-centered to the front door. He told me that we discussed it and I wanted it that way (clearly not) It was corrected but not well finished (could see the difference where it was expanded), that was done same day just as they were finishing the job. Last week, after the ice finally melted, I noticed a patch on the walkway that was crumbling. I called Peter and he came out next day. He asked if we had used salt, no salt just "safe paw"....which reads, environmentally safe...no harm to

Peter at Mikes concrete is the best contractor i have ever worked with !!! First of all he actually returns phone calls !!!!! and promptly :) He did an amazing job on my large concrete driveway and did it when he said he would and finished when he said it would be !!! He recently came by and sealed it again after two years and only charged me for the materials !!! He is an awesome guy that is down to earth that works hard !!!!! he cares about his customers not just about money ! He came by himself on a Sunday to seal my driveway by himself!!! If you would like a concrete driveway , don't even bother

We highly recommend Mike's Concrete. After doing a lot of research, we decided to go with Mike's concrete. We had a great experience! We dealt with Peter and we're so impressed with his professionalism! So polite and honest. He gave us options and took the time to understand what we wanted and far exceeded our expectations! The neighbors have commented on the quality and how beautiful his work is. They even cleaned up thoroughly after the job. He did everything he promised and then some! We love our driveway and will be calling Mike's for our backyard project this summer.
