Concrete Contractors in Pickering
Repair, resurfacing and new concrete, one company, start to finish.
Toronto Concrete Repairs fixes, resurfaces and replaces driveways, porches, steps, garage and basement floors across Bay Ridges, West Shore, Amberlea, Liverpool, Brock Ridge and the rest of Pickering. Every quote comes back two or three priced ways, so the option we recommend is the one your concrete actually needs.
What should a concrete contractor in Pickering cost? Repairs on a sound slab start around $2,000, resurfacing with a bonded overlay runs about $7 to $10 per square foot, and removing and replacing concrete runs about $30 per square foot, so a double driveway lands between $15,000 and $26,000. Look for a contractor that does all three, because a company that only pours will tell you to pour. Toronto Concrete Repairs has served Pickering and Durham since 2015, gives every job two or three priced options from three photos, holds the price 21 days, and warranties new concrete and overlays for three years and coatings for ten.

Local knowledge
Why concrete fails in Pickering
Pickering sits on the heavy clay that runs across Durham Region, with Lake Ontario and Frenchman's Bay along its south edge, and its concrete problems split by age. Bay Ridges, West Shore and Rosebank are 1960s and 70s lakeshore subdivisions with original porches and driveways; Amberlea, Liverpool and Highbush are 1980s; Brock Ridge, Village East and Duffin Heights are 1990s and 2000s; Seaton is still being built. Knowing which of these is happening to yours decides whether it's a repair or a replacement.
Durham clay movement
The clay under most of Pickering swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That constant motion lifts, cracks and sinks walkways and driveways, often long before the concrete itself has worn out.
Lake effect freeze and thaw
South of the 401, Frenchman's Bay and the lake mean more freeze and thaw swings. Water works into the surface, freezes, expands and flakes the top layer away. It's why Bay Ridges and West Shore driveways spall at the edges.
Road salt
Salt off the 401, Highway 7, Brock Road and Liverpool Road drips from vehicles all winter and eats unsealed concrete. A sealed or coated surface survives it far better.
Builder backfill and thin base
In Brock Ridge, Village East, Duffin Heights and Seaton, porches were poured on backfill before it settled and driveways on uncompacted fill. A decade on, the porch drops away from the house and the driveway sinks at the garage. That's a rebuild, not a patch.
The good news: most of this is surface damage on a sound slab, a repair or resurfacing job, not a tear out. The honest exception is when the clay has moved the base itself. Then replacement is the only answer that lasts, and we'll tell you when that's the case, with the reason, not just the number.

Concrete in Pickering: common questions
Do you serve all of Pickering and Durham Region?
Yes. Bay Ridges, West Shore, Rosebank, Amberlea, Woodlands, Highbush, Dunbarton, Liverpool, Village East, Brock Ridge, Duffin Heights, Seaton, Claremont and Whitevale, plus Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and the rest of Durham. We're based in Mississauga and work across the region with no travel charge. One company, one standard, whatever the postal code.
How much does concrete work cost in Pickering?
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, 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. Every quote comes back with two or three options so you can see the trade offs. Text three photos and you'll have a written figure within one business day.
What warranty do you offer?
A written warranty on every job: three years on new concrete and on overlays, and ten years on coatings depending on the surface. The terms are in your quote before you sign.
Can my Pickering driveway be repaired instead of replaced?
Usually, yes. If the damage is on the surface (cracking, flaking, spalling) the slab underneath is intact and repair or resurfacing is the cost effective answer. Replacement is only necessary when Durham's clay has moved the base itself, which shows up as sunken sections at the garage or slabs sitting at different heights. On the older lakeshore streets it's usually just fifty years of salt on a sound slab; in the newer subdivisions north of the 401 it's usually settled fill. We assess which before quoting.
My porch has dropped away from the house. Can it be repaired?
Usually not. On Pickering homes built from the 1990s on, the porch was often poured on the backfill around the foundation before it settled, so the porch sinks and a gap opens at the house. Filling the gap hides it for a season. The fix is to remove the porch and rebuild it on a footing that reaches undisturbed ground. If the porch is level and only the surface is spalling, that's a one day repair.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Pickering?
Pickering 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 Pickering 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.
What time of year can concrete work be done in Pickering?
Exterior pours and most resurfacing run from roughly April through November, when temperatures stay reliably above freezing through curing. Interior work (basement floors, garage floors and epoxy coatings) carries on year round. If waiting until spring is the better call for your job, we'll tell you rather than take it.
Do you do both residential and commercial concrete in Pickering?
Both. Residential driveways, porches, steps, garage and basement floors, plus commercial work: warehouses and distribution along the 401 and Brock Road, plazas on Kingston Road and Liverpool, the Pickering Town Centre area and property manager repairs, with overnight and weekend scheduling available.
