How long does a concrete driveway take to cure?
Concrete reaches walkable strength in 24–48 hours and vehicle-ready strength in 7 days. Full cure to maximum strength takes 28 days. We advise avoiding heavy vehicles and staining agents for at least the first week.
Do you pull permits for concrete work in Austin?
Yes. For work that requires a City of Austin permit — including foundations, right-of-way sidewalks, and large retaining walls — we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections on your behalf.
What is the difference between stamped and regular concrete?
Regular concrete is finished with a broom or trowel for a clean, utilitarian look. Stamped concrete has patterns and textures pressed into it while wet to mimic stone, brick, or slate — then colored and sealed for a high-end appearance.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Austin?
Pricing depends on size, thickness, finish, and site conditions. A standard broom-finish driveway typically runs $6–$10 per square foot. Decorative finishes cost more. We provide free, itemized estimates — contact us to schedule.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Austin Premier Concrete is fully licensed in Texas and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We're happy to provide certificates of insurance upon request.
How do you prevent concrete from cracking?
Proper sub-base compaction, correct water-to-cement ratio, rebar or fiber reinforcement, and strategic control joint placement all dramatically reduce cracking. We follow best practices on every pour.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, estimates are always free. We visit the site, measure, discuss your goals, and provide a written quote — typically within 24–48 hours of the visit.
