We serve Romeoville and nearby communities like Lockport, Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet, Homer Glen with the same attention to detail on every project.

Romeoville homeowners love concrete patios for their low maintenance and versatility. Unlike wood decks that rot, warp, and need annual staining, a concrete patio needs only occasional resealing. Choose from broom finish, exposed aggregate, colored concrete, or combine with a stamped border for a custom look that fits your budget.

Every concrete patio we pour in Romeoville starts with proper site preparation — excavation, grading for drainage, compacted gravel base, and rebar reinforcement. These steps are what separate a patio that lasts 25 years from one that cracks in the first winter. Bryan personally checks grade and base compaction before every pour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a concrete patio cost?

Concrete patios range from $13 to $23 per square foot installed depending on finish. A 300 sqft broom-finish patio costs about $3,900–$4,800. Colored or exposed aggregate finishes cost more. Larger patios cost less per square foot.

What is the cheapest type of concrete patio?

A broom-finish concrete patio is the most affordable option at $13–$16 per square foot. It's slip-resistant, durable, and clean-looking. Adding integral color costs only $2–$4 more per square foot for a big visual upgrade.

Concrete patio vs wood deck — which is better?

Concrete patios last 25-30+ years with almost no maintenance, while wood decks last 10-15 years and need annual staining and sealing. Concrete also costs 30-50% less and is immune to rot, termites, and weather deterioration.

How thick should a concrete patio be?

A residential concrete patio should be a minimum of 4 inches thick, poured on a compacted gravel base with rebar reinforcement. We never pour thinner than 4 inches — it's the industry standard for longevity.

Do I need a permit for a concrete patio?

Most towns don't require a permit for a standard backyard patio. However, large patios (500+ sqft) or those connected to the house foundation may require one. We check with your local building department on every project.

How long does it take to pour a concrete patio?

Most concrete patio projects take 2-3 days — one day for excavation and base preparation, one day for forming and pouring, then sealer applied after the concrete cures.
