  • How long does the project take?

  • How long does the concrete take to cure?

    Full curing is a chemical process that typically takes about 28 days to reach maximum strength, but the initial drying period usually ranges from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the weather. Our team of concrete contractors will provide you with specific care instructions based on the climate at the time of your pour.
  • When can I drive on my new driveway?

    While you can usually walk on the surface within 24 to 48 hours, we recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before driving or parking vehicles on it. Following the guidelines set by professional concrete contractors ensures your new driveway remains crack-free and durable for years to come.
  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes, Matey Masonry & Concrete is fully licensed and insured. It is vital to hire concrete contractors who carry proper liability and worker's compensation insurance to protect both the homeowner and the integrity of the project.
  • What base and reinforcement do you use?

    We believe a solid foundation is the key to longevity. We use a high-quality limestone base for stability, and for reinforcement, we utilize rebar or wire mesh depending on the load requirements. These industry-standard materials allow our concrete contractors to deliver a product that resists shifting and cracking.
  • Do you seal the concrete?

    Yes, we do seal the concrete. Sealing is a crucial final step that our concrete contractors perform to protect the surface from moisture, chemicals, and UV damage, ensuring your investment looks great and lasts longer.
