Concrete Contractors Hamilton
Porches, steps, driveways and garage floors from the lower city to the Mountain, Stoney Creek to Ancaster. Repaired, resurfaced or replaced, whichever one yours actually needs.
Toronto Concrete Repairs has worked across Hamilton since 2015, from the century homes of Durand, Kirkendall and Westdale to the 1950s streets on the Mountain and the newer subdivisions in Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Waterdown and Binbrook. Because we do repair, resurfacing and replacement, the option we recommend is the one your concrete needs, not the one that pays us more.
Quick answer
What do concrete contractors in Hamilton charge, and what should you expect?
Hamilton concrete work falls into three price bands. Repair of cracks, spalling, a broken garage lip or crumbling step edges on a sound slab starts around $2,000. Resurfacing a worn driveway, porch, patio or walkway with a bonded overlay runs about $7 to $10 per square foot. Removing and replacing failed concrete runs about $30 per square foot, which puts a double driveway between $15,000 and $26,000, a garage floor replacement around $9,000 to $12,000, and a full porch and steps rebuild between $20,000 and $30,000. Toronto Concrete Repairs quotes all three in writing from three photos, usually within one business day, with the price held 21 days and a written warranty: three years on new concrete and overlays, ten years on coatings depending on the surface. If your concrete can be saved, we'll say so.

Porch and step repair
The lower city job. Spalled treads, broken nosings and chipped landings on century home porches, rebuilt and resurfaced, usually in a day.
Porch and steps replacement
When the porch has pulled away from the house or the steps have sunk, rebuilt on a proper footing in two to five days.
Driveway repair and replacement
Cracked, flaking or sunken driveways repaired or resurfaced where the base is sound, removed and poured new where it isn't.
New concrete driveways
Old driveway out, base compacted, poured to six inches in broom, exposed aggregate or stamped. About $30 per square foot.

Pitting, cracks and broken lips repaired; sunk slabs replaced with rebar and a vapour barrier; flake epoxy and polyaspartic coatings over top.

Local knowledge
Why Hamilton concrete fails, and what we do about it
The lower city has the oldest concrete we work on anywhere. Durand, Kirkendall, Corktown, Stinson, the North End and Westdale were built from the 1880s to the 1930s, and a lot of the porches, steps and walkways are original or nearly. Solid mass concrete, unreinforced, a century of salt and weather on top. They crumble at the nosings and corners but are usually sound underneath, which is why most lower city porches are repaired and resurfaced rather than torn out. Narrow lots and shared drives mean a lot of this work is done by hand, which we price from photos of the access.
The Mountain and East Hamilton are 1950s to 70s. Westmount, Rolston, Berrisfield, Gourley, Rosedale and Bartonville have original garage floors poured over the rebar and driveways on thin base. Flaking and pitting on a slab that hasn't moved is a repair or resurfacing job; a driveway that has sunk at the garage or a floor that's dropped needs replacing.
The suburbs are builder concrete. Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Waterdown, Binbrook and the newer parts of the Mountain went up from the 1980s on, with porches poured on unsettled backfill that drop away from the house a decade later and thin driveways that crack through at the apron. Those are rebuilds, priced honestly instead of resurfaced over a gap that will open again.
The escarpment changes the ground. Below it, the lower city sits on clay and old lake bed that holds water, so basements and walkouts stay damp and walkways heave. Along the brow and up the Mountain the bedrock is close and the soil is thin, so slabs there settle less but crack from frost in the shallow ground. We check for movement before quoting, because resurfacing a slab that's still moving fails within a season.
Permits: Hamilton is a single tier city, so City of Hamilton rules apply, not Toronto's. Like for like replacement in the same footprint usually needs nothing. Widening a driveway is regulated by Hamilton's zoning by law, with limits on driveway width and a minimum of landscaped front yard. We confirm what applies to your lot during the assessment.

Reviews
What homeowners say
★★★★★ 4.8 · 100+ Google reviews · As seen on CTV's Marilyn Denis Show
★★★★★
Fixed another company's botched job
The team worked well together to provide us with a set of steps which are both functional and beautiful to look at. People in the area who had seen the first botched job by another company were suitably impressed with the finished work. This is a company that focuses on quality work for a fair price.
★★★★★
Perfectionists, on every project
We hired them to repair and resurface the concrete floor of our basement furnace room and the steps and front porch of our 1960s home. They came when they said they would, worked hard, are perfectionists, and did an amazing job. We highly recommend them.
★★★★★
Up to the high expectations
They removed our existing concrete driveway and did a remarkable job installing the new one. It was apparent from the start that they were very knowledgeable, and we were pleased their work was very much up to the high expectations we had from all the positive online reviews.
Questions
Concrete contractors in Hamilton: common questions
Repairs on a sound slab start around $2,000. Resurfacing with a bonded overlay runs about $7 to $10 per square foot. Removing and replacing concrete runs about $30 per square foot for a broom finish, so a double driveway lands between $15,000 and $26,000, a garage floor replacement around $9,000 to $12,000, and a full porch and steps rebuild between $20,000 and $30,000. Text three photos and you'll have a written quote with the options priced side by side within one business day.
Yes, and no travel charge. We're based in Mississauga and work in Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville every week, so the lower city, the Mountain, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas and Waterdown are regular ground for us. Photo quotes are free; site visits are free too, and we group them with other Hamilton and Halton jobs so you're not waiting.
Usually, yes. Lower city porches and steps from the 1880s to 1930s were poured as solid mass concrete, and they fail at the surface: worn treads, broken nosings, chipped corners. The structure underneath is usually sound, and those are rebuilt and resurfaced in a day. The ones that need replacing are pulling away from the house, sinking, or cracked clean through. We tell you which from three photos. See porch and step repair and porch and steps replacement.
If the damage is on the surface (flaking, spalling, hairline cracks, stains) yes, at a fraction of replacement. If sections have sunk at the garage, slabs sit at different heights or cracks run clean through and keep growing, the base has failed and replacement is the honest answer. The driveway repair page has a 30 second check you can do yourself before you text us.
A written warranty on every job: three years on new concrete and on overlays, and ten years on coatings depending on the surface they're applied to. The terms are in your quote before you sign.
Hamilton has its own rules, separate from Toronto. Repairs and resurfacing don't need a permit, and a like for like replacement in the same footprint usually doesn't either. Widening a driveway is regulated by the City of Hamilton zoning by law, which limits driveway width and requires a minimum of landscaped front yard. We confirm what applies to your lot during the assessment and handle the permit where one is needed.
Exterior work runs from roughly April through November, when temperatures stay above freezing through the curing period. Interior work, basement floors, garage floors and epoxy coatings, carries on all winter. If waiting for spring is the better call, we'll tell you rather than take the job.
