A standard concrete driveway in Homewood usually takes about 3 to 5 days from start to finish, including excavation, pouring, and initial curing. The actual pour itself is often completed in a single day, depending on the size. After the pour, it needs at least 24-48 hours before you can walk on it, and about 7 days before you can drive a car on it. We'll always give you a specific timeline for your project once we see the site.

Yes, Homewood's weather definitely affects when we can pour concrete. We generally avoid pouring during heavy rain or when temperatures are expected to drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours of the pour. Extreme heat can also be an issue, requiring special measures to prevent rapid drying and cracking. The best times are usually spring and fall when temperatures are more moderate and consistent. We always check the forecast carefully before scheduling any work.
