Concrete work across the Town of Esopus

Esopus sits just south of us on the west bank of the Hudson, and it's a town of hamlets rather than one main street, so a week of jobs there can take us from an older house near the river to a newer place set back on a bigger lot. We do the same kind of work up in Saugerties and over in Rosendale, so Esopus is familiar ground for our crew.

Your price mostly comes down to how much old concrete has to come out and how much base work the ground needs. The schedule turns on curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens enough to use, and on the town's permit when your job needs one. Which of those matters most depends on the house, because the older ones often need a tired slab broken out first and the newer lots usually need more grading to send water away from the house.

What we pour for Esopus homes

Around Esopus, most of our calls are for driveways that have sunk or cracked, patios and steps off the back of older houses, and concrete sidewalks to the front door that have gone uneven, plus garage slabs and footings when someone's building or adding on.

What Esopus ground and permits mean for you

Most of the cracked and sinking concrete I look at in Esopus failed from underneath, because the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed. So we dig down to firm ground, pack the base, and check where the water runs before we set forms, since a slab that falls toward your house sends every rain at the foundation.

Esopus is its own town with its own building department, so a permit here doesn't go through any Kingston office. We're licensed and fully insured, and at the estimate I find out which office your address falls under and whether your job needs a permit. When it does, we take care of the application with you.

I'll come look at your job myself, explain what goes under your new slab and why, and then work the pour alongside our crew.

Questions Esopus homeowners ask us

Here's what people in Esopus ask before they hire us. If yours isn't here, call (845) 303-8582 and I'll talk it through with you.

Where do I apply for a building permit in Esopus, NY?

You apply to the Town of Esopus Building Department, which takes applications for a proposed structure or addition at 1 Town Hall Way in Ulster Park. Its office line is (845) 331-8630, and when your job needs a permit, we handle the application with you.

What drawings go with a building permit application in Esopus?

The town wants a plot plan, which is a drawing of your lot, and a construction drawing with the application. Together they show all the outside dimensions of the work and its distance from every lot line, so I take those measurements at the estimate and we work through the application with you.

Who makes sure inspections happen on a permitted job in Esopus?

You do, as the owner, and the town's permit form says inspections have to be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead. A Town of Ulster building inspector looks the work over, and it has to meet the New York State Uniform Fire and Building Code, so we tell you when each stage is ready to call in.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Esopus?

It comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete gets broken out and hauled off, and how much base work your ground needs. Rebar, steel set inside the slab to hold it together, and a decorative finish instead of a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives you grip when it's wet, both add to it.

How long will I be off my driveway after a new concrete pour?

You stay off it until the concrete has cured, and you can walk on it well before you can drive on it, because a car puts far more weight on a young slab. I'll give you the timing for your job at the estimate, and we pour early in the day, since midday heat leaves a weak, dusty top.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?

A slab on a packed base with control joints is far less likely to crack at random, and when it does, it usually cracks where we planned. Control joints are the grooves we cut so the slab cracks along a straight line we chose, and we cut them on time, because late or skipped joints let the cracks pick their own spots.
