Concrete Contractors Oshawa
Steps, porches, driveways and garage floors from Lakeview to Windfields. Repaired, resurfaced or replaced, whichever one yours actually needs.
Toronto Concrete Repairs has worked across Oshawa since 2015, from the 1920s and 30s streets south of King to the 1960s subdivisions of Eastdale and Donevan and the newer homes in Northglen, Kedron and Windfields. 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 Oshawa charge, and what should you expect?
Oshawa 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. The steps in the photo above are an Oshawa job: rebuilt and refinished, not replaced.

Local knowledge
Why Oshawa concrete fails, and what we do about it
Oshawa has the oldest housing stock in Durham, and it shows in the concrete. The streets south of King and around downtown, Lakeview, Olive and Ritson, Cedar Valley, were built from the 1920s to the 50s for GM families, with solid mass concrete porches and steps that have been taking salt and weather for seventy years. They crumble at the nosings and corners but are sound underneath, which is why most of them are repaired and refinished rather than torn out. The Oshawa staircase on this page is exactly that job.
North of the 401 it's 1960s to 80s subdivisions. Eastdale, Donevan, Pinecrest, Vanier and McLaughlin 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.
North of Taunton it's builder concrete. Northglen, Samac, Windfields and Kedron went up from the 1990s on, with porches poured on unsettled backfill and driveways on uncompacted fill. A decade or so later the porch drops away from the house and the driveway cracks through at the apron. Those are rebuilds, and we price them honestly instead of resurfacing over a gap that will open again.
Durham clay and the lake. Oshawa sits on heavy clay that heaves in winter and shrinks in dry summers, and south of the 401 the lake adds freeze and thaw swings. Walkways and patios move. We check for movement before quoting, because resurfacing a slab that's still moving fails within a season.
Permits: Oshawa is Durham Region, so City of Oshawa rules apply, not Toronto's. Like for like replacement in the same footprint usually needs nothing. Widening a driveway is regulated by Oshawa'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.
★★★★★
Sunk 4 to 6 inches, done in three days
My garage floor was cracked and sank more than 4 to 6 inches in a few spots, so I needed a complete replacement of the slab. They removed the old concrete, added gravel, levelled and compacted it, put down vapour barrier and wire mesh, and poured and levelled it perfectly. Done in three days from the initial site visit.
★★★★★
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 Oshawa: 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 across Durham Region every week, so Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Courtice and Bowmanville are regular ground for us. Photo quotes are free; site visits are free too, and we group them with other Durham jobs so you're not waiting.
Usually, yes. The 1920s to 50s porches and steps south of King were poured as solid mass concrete, and they fail at the surface: worn treads, broken nosings, chipped corners. The structure underneath is sound, and those are rebuilt and refinished in a day, like the Oshawa staircase on this page. 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.
Oshawa is Durham Region, with 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 Oshawa 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.
