Connecting NB homeowners and businesses with qualified concrete contractors across the province. Part of the New Brunswick Construction Network.
Concrete is the foundation of nearly every structure in New Brunswick -- literally. From the poured walls that keep basements dry to the driveways that endure snowplows and salt trucks every winter, concrete work touches every property in the province. NB's demanding Maritime climate makes concrete one of the most technically challenging trades to execute well: the province experiences 100-120 freeze-thaw cycles annually, frost depths reach 1.2 to 1.5 metres depending on region, clay-heavy river valley soils create frost heave pressure that can buckle improperly prepared slabs, and coastal salt air accelerates surface deterioration on properties near the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Getting concrete work right the first time matters enormously because failures are expensive to fix and often invisible until damage is already severe. A driveway poured with the wrong mix design may look perfect for two winters before the surface begins scaling and spalling. A foundation wall without proper waterproofing may stay dry for years until the drainage board fails and hydrostatic pressure pushes water through hairline cracks. A retaining wall built without engineering calculations may lean and eventually fail when saturated spring soils freeze and expand against it. The difference between concrete that lasts 30-50 years and concrete that fails within 5 is entirely in the preparation, materials, and execution -- and that means hiring the right contractor for the specific type of work you need.

From initial consultation through final finishing, find the right professional for every phase of your concrete project:
Professional concrete driveway installation and replacement engineered for NB's freeze-thaw cycles. Includes excavation, compacted gravel base, air-entrained 32 MPa concrete with wire mesh reinforcement, control joints, and proper grading for drainage. NB driveways must withstand snowplows, road salt, and 100+ freeze-thaw cycles annually.
Expect $8-$15 per square foot installed. A standard two-car driveway (400-600 sq ft) costs $6,000-$12,000 in NB.
Full basement and crawl space foundation construction for NB new builds and additions. Footings extend below the frost line (1.2-1.5 metres in NB), poured concrete walls with steel reinforcement, exterior waterproofing membranes, weeping tile drainage systems, and backfill. Foundation repair includes crack injection, wall stabilization, and waterproofing restoration.
New full basement foundations cost $25,000-$50,000. Repairs range from $1,500 for crack injection to $15,000-$30,000 for major structural work.
Custom concrete patio and walkway construction with frost-resistant subgrade preparation, proper drainage grading (minimum 2% slope away from foundation), air-entrained concrete, and your choice of broom finish, exposed aggregate, or smooth trowel. Built to handle NB's seasonal ground movement without heaving or cracking.
Patios cost $8-$15 per square foot installed. A 300 sq ft patio runs $2,400-$4,500. Walkways cost $1,500-$5,000 depending on length.
Transform driveways, patios, and pool decks with stamped patterns that replicate natural stone, brick, or slate at 30-50% less cost. Integral colour, colour hardener, and protective sealers designed for Maritime weather exposure. Popular NB patterns include ashlar slate, random stone, and herringbone brick.
Stamped concrete costs $12-$22 per square foot installed. Sealer reapplication every 2-3 years maintains colour and weather protection.
Engineered concrete retaining walls for slope stabilization, property grading, and landscaping support. Walls over 1.0 metre require engineering design per NB Building Code. Includes frost-depth footings, steel reinforcement, weeping tile drainage, and hydrostatic pressure relief. Poured concrete and segmental block options available.
Poured walls cost $40-$80 per square foot of face. A 40-foot wall at 4 feet height costs $6,400-$12,800 installed.
Crack injection, surface resurfacing, slab levelling, and structural restoration for driveways, foundations, sidewalks, and steps damaged by NB's freeze-thaw cycles, settling, and age. Methods include epoxy injection, polymer-modified overlays, mudjacking, and polyurethane foam lifting. Professional assessment determines whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
Repairs range from $500 for spot patching to $8,000-$10,000 for comprehensive driveway resurfacing.
New slab installation, resurfacing, and epoxy coating for NB garages and basements. Garage floors require air-entrained concrete for freeze-thaw resistance from constant door cycling. Basement floors need vapour barriers for NB's high water tables. Epoxy, polyaspartic, and polyurea coating systems transform and protect concrete surfaces.
New garage floors cost $4,000-$8,000. Epoxy coating runs $2,500-$6,000. Basement floors cost $6,000-$14,000.
New and replacement concrete steps, landings, and porches built with frost-depth footings to prevent heave separation from the building. Air-entrained concrete with steel reinforcement and slip-resistant broom finish for safe year-round use. NB Building Code compliant dimensions, handrails, and drainage. Stone veneer and decorative finishing options available.
Front steps (4-6 risers with landing) cost $3,000-$7,000. Full porch construction runs $8,000-$18,000.
