What Williston homeowners want from new concrete

Most calls start with something you can see: a driveway that's cracked and sinking, a patio where water sits after rain, or steps that have started to chip. The trouble usually began underneath, because the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, was raked level instead of dug out and packed. We fix that first and build up from there.

The price moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete comes out, how much base we bring in and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on the weather and on any paperwork your project needs. My written estimate lists the work and materials, whether it's a patio or a new garage floor.

If a budget has to give somewhere, I'd rather it be the finish than the base. You can add a decorative surface later, but a soft base can't be fixed without tearing the slab out, and once it's covered on day one, nobody sees it until it fails.

How a Williston job runs

Call or send the form
Call (802) 307-1329 or send the form with a few words about the job, and I'll arrange a time to come out to your Williston property.
Site walk and estimate
I walk the site with you and send a written estimate listing the work and materials, then we check what Williston's zoning office requires and help you file it.
Permit wait and pour
Where a permit is issued, its 15-day appeal period runs first, so we set the pour date after it, weather allowing, and our crew lead runs the job.

What shapes a concrete job in Williston

Before we sketch where a slab goes, I check the Watershed Health tab on Williston's map, which shows wetland and watershed buffers, because Williston's rules bar structures and paving, gravel included, inside a buffer. An older patio already in one may be what the rules call legal nonconforming, so it can be replaced at the same size or smaller in the same spot but not made bigger.

Williston Village takes more planning. Most work there goes to the Development Review Board before it starts, and any development in the historic district, with its Federal and Greek Revival buildings from the first half of the 1800s, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the board. So before we set a date anywhere in Williston, we call the Planning & Zoning office at 802-878-6704 and work the review into the schedule.

We do the same work in the cities around Williston, including Colchester, Essex Junction and South Burlington, where we're based. When you're ready, please ask for an estimate and I'll come out to walk the job with you.

Questions from Williston homeowners

Do I need a permit for a new concrete patio in Williston?

A new patio usually needs one, since Williston's Zoning Administrator issues administrative permits for work that includes patios. The permit FAQ lists replacing a patio at the same size and location as needing no zoning permit. For anything else, driveways included, we check with Planning & Zoning before setting a date.

Can I apply for a zoning permit online in Williston?

No, Williston doesn't take permit applications digitally. Staff may check an emailed PDF for completeness, then you mail or drop off the hard copy with the application form, checklist and fees, including a site plan. We help you prepare and file it, so the site plan matches the slab we measured.

How do I look up my Williston home's permit history?

Ask Planning & Zoning for the file under your Tax Parcel ID number, which you'll find on the Grand List. The office's records include administrative permits, certificates of occupancy or compliance and older building permits, which can show what was approved for the slab or patio you're replacing.

Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?

Most concrete cracks a little in time, but a well-built slab usually cracks where it's meant to and stays level. Beyond a packed base, we slope it away from the house and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, before the concrete can crack on its own.
