Concrete Work in Dearborn (48126)

Dearborn's housing stock is dominated by solid brick bungalows built in the 1920s through 1950s, and their concrete driveways and sidewalks are showing their age. The expansive clay soils common across the Detroit area create settling and heaving, especially on the sloped and hillside lots scattered throughout the city. Winter freeze-thaw cycles crack and spall concrete every year, and summer heat can cause additional stress. Add tight lot lines, narrow alley access, and the occasional power line running over a driveway, and you've got the real Dearborn concrete challenge.

We've been serving Dearborn homeowners and property managers since 2016. Our team knows the neighborhoods, understands local permitting, and has the equipment and expertise to work safely on tight urban lots where space is premium and precision matters.

How a Job Works in Dearborn

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (313) 422-7903 or request a visit online. We come out to your Dearborn property, measure the area, inspect the existing concrete, check for settling or structural issues, and discuss your goals. We'll identify any permit requirements (many Dearborn driveways and sidewalks need city approval) and give you a realistic timeline and price.

Step 2: The Work. Our licensed crews handle everything from concrete repair and leveling to full removal and replacement. On tight Dearborn lots, we manage access carefully, coordinate with neighbors if needed, and work around power lines and utility lines. If your slab has settled, we can lift it back into place or remove and pour new concrete to proper slope and grade. Stamped or decorative finishes are available if you want your patio or driveway to stand out.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We remove all debris, haul away broken concrete, and leave your property clean and ready. We'll walk through the finished work with you, explain any sealing or maintenance steps, and make sure you're satisfied before we leave.

Concrete repair and resurfacing in Dearborn typically runs from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the damage and whether we're patching or replacing. A standard driveway (roughly 300 to 400 square feet) for a new pour starts around $1,800 to $2,400, while concrete leveling and slab lifting can cost $4 to $5 per square foot and often saves money compared to full replacement. Decorative and stamped concrete runs higher, from $10 per square foot, but adds real curb appeal to tight urban lots. Key cost factors include the size of the area, soil conditions, access difficulty, and whether we're removing old concrete first. The best way to know what your Dearborn driveway, patio, or sidewalk will cost is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (313) 422-7903 and we'll give you a straight answer.

My Dearborn driveway is cracked and settling on one side. Can you level it without tearing it out?

Yes, often. If the concrete is still structurally sound and the settling isn't extreme, we can use concrete leveling and slab lifting to raise the sunken section back to grade. This costs less than removal and replacement (around $4 to $5 per square foot) and is faster. We inject material beneath the slab to lift it back into place. However, if the concrete is badly spalled, crumbling, or the settling is severe, full replacement is the better long-term fix. We'll assess it in person and recommend the best option for your lot.

Do I need a permit from the City of Dearborn to replace my driveway or sidewalk?

Yes, most driveway and sidewalk work in Dearborn requires a city permit, especially if you're modifying the curb cut, changing slope, or working near the right-of-way. Some repairs may fall under exemptions, but it's safer to check. Our team handles permit coordination and knows Dearborn's requirements. We'll make sure the job is done to code and that all paperwork is filed. Call us at (313) 422-7903 and we'll walk you through the process.

What does concrete sealing cost, and is it worth it in Dearborn?

Sealing runs about $0.75 per square foot and is absolutely worth it in Dearborn. Our freeze-thaw cycles and salt from winter roads break down unsealed concrete fast. A good sealer protects against water penetration, reduces spalling and cracking, and keeps your driveway or patio looking newer longer. We recommend sealing new concrete after it's fully cured and resealing every 2 to 3 years for driveways in heavy use.

My HOA says my cracked sidewalk needs repair. How do I know if I'm responsible?

In Dearborn, responsibility for sidewalk repair often depends on your HOA rules and whether the sidewalk is on your property or in the public right-of-way. Check your HOA documents first. If it's your responsibility, we can repair or replace it. If it's the city's responsibility, contact Dearborn's Department of Public Works. Either way, we can help you understand the scope and cost. Call us at (313) 422-7903 for a free assessment.

Can you pour a new garage floor or basement slab in my Dearborn bungalow?

Yes. We pour concrete slabs and foundations for garages, basements, and other projects. Garage floors start at $5 per square foot, and we can add a polished finish (from $4 per square foot) for a cleaner look and easier cleaning. We handle site prep, grading, and proper curing to ensure a long-lasting slab. Dearborn's clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles mean we pay extra attention to drainage and base prep.

We're fully licensed and insured for all concrete work in Dearborn. Do you carry liability and workers' compensation?

Yes, absolutely. Detroit Concrete is fully licensed and insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. When you hire us, you're protected. We carry the credentials and insurance required by the City of Dearborn, and we stand behind our work. Ask us for proof of insurance if you'd like it before we start.

My neighbor's concrete has spalled badly and looks like it could be a trip hazard. What should I do?

If it's on your neighbor's property, the best approach is a friendly conversation. If it's a sidewalk in the right-of-way or a public area, contact the City of Dearborn's Public Works or Building Department to report it. If it's your property, don't wait. Spalling gets worse fast, and trip hazards can create liability. We can repair or replace it quickly. Call us at (313) 422-7903 for a free estimate.
