Top-Rated Concrete Contractor in Manchester CT - Concrete Done Right the First Time

Manchester is a mid-sized Connecticut city of about 60,000 residents, located just east of Hartford off Interstate 84. A large share of the city's housing was built before 1970 - many homes date back to the early 1900s when Manchester was a busy mill town anchored by the Cheney Brothers Silk Mills, one of the largest silk manufacturers in United States history. That historic mill complex and many of the worker housing blocks it built are still standing today and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Outside the older town center, Manchester has large stretches of postwar suburban neighborhoods - ranch-style homes, Cape Cods, and split-levels built in the 1950s through 1970s. These homes are now 50 to 70 years old and entering a heavy maintenance phase. Driveways and walkways poured during that era were often installed without the deep gravel base prep now standard in cold climates. Areas near Wickham Park on the eastern side of town and the neighborhoods around the Buckland Hills shopping area in the north are typical of this era of development. Manchester also gets about 45 inches of snow per year, and the freeze-thaw cycles from November through March are hard on concrete - cracks that look small in fall can open significantly by spring. We work on homes across all of Manchester, from the older two- and three-family houses near the town center to the postwar ranch homes in the outer neighborhoods.
