Best Concrete Contractors in Dayton, OH

Look for a licensed, insured contractor with Google ratings from homeowners or commercial clients with similar projects. Concrete work is highly technique-dependent — check reviews specifically for surface quality, no cracking within the warranty period, and finish consistency.

Concrete installation averages $6–$12 per square foot for standard residential flatwork (driveways, patios). Stamped or decorative concrete runs $12–$22/sq ft. Retaining walls cost $20–$50/linear foot. Concrete driveways for a typical home (600–800 sq ft) run $3,500–$9,000.

Forming and pouring a standard driveway or patio takes 1–2 days. Curing time before light foot traffic is 24–48 hours; full vehicle traffic requires 7–14 days. Decorative or stamped work adds 1–2 days for finishing.

Ask about their mix design (PSI rating for your application), reinforcement method (rebar vs. wire mesh), cure time and sealing schedule, warranty on cracking, and permit requirements in your municipality.

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ranked by real Google ratings and review volume. No payment is accepted to alter rankings. Confirm contractor licensing and insurance directly before signing any contract.

Document all defects with photos and written records. Contact the contractor and invoke the warranty in writing. If licensing violations occurred, file with your state contractor licensing board. For payment disputes, consult a construction attorney or file a small claims case.
