Irondequoit's 1940s and 1950s Cape Cods and ranches sit on glacial clay and silt that frost-heaves every winter, and decades of lake-effect snow and road salt have left most driveways, front walks and garage aprons cracked, spalled or sunken. We are Rochester Concrete, and we know this neighborhood.
If your driveway has buckled near the bay, or your front steps have settled away from the house, or your garage apron is crumbling and tripping people up, our team has fixed hundreds of homes in Irondequoit (14622) and the surrounding Rochester area. We show up on time, do the work right, and leave your property clean. Call us at (585) 575-0462 for a free on-site estimate.
Concrete in Irondequoit (14622)
Irondequoit sits between Lake Ontario and the Genesee River on ground that is mostly glacial lake-plain clay and silt, with pockets of sand and gravel. This soil is frost-susceptible, often wet, and moves every freeze-thaw cycle. Your concrete driveway, sidewalk or garage floor experiences that movement whether you seal it or not. Add forty years of heavy lake-effect snow, dozens of winter freeze-thaw cycles, and road salt that scales unsealed concrete, and you get the cracked, spalled and sunken slabs that are normal in Irondequoit by the time a home reaches forty or fifty years old.
Most properties here have a single or two-strip driveway running past the house to a detached rear garage, with a front walk and porch steps exposed to weather and salt. Lots are narrow, trees are large and old, and access is often tight. We have spent years working on Irondequoit properties, understanding the soil, the drainage, the lot constraints and the seasonal urgency. We know when to use air-entrained concrete, when to install proper sub-base, when to seal, and when to lift or replace. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance for every job.

How a Job Works in Irondequoit
We start with a free on-site visit. We walk your property, look at the concrete, check the drainage and grade, measure the area, and ask about your timeline and budget. We take photos, explain what we see, and give you a written estimate on the spot or within 24 hours. No surprises, no hidden fees.
When you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and handle any local permits required by the Town of Irondequoit. On the day of the job, our crew shows up with equipment, removes or repairs the old concrete as needed, prepares the sub-base properly (critical in this clay soil), sets forms, pours and finishes the new concrete to grade and slope for drainage, and cures it according to the weather. If the ground is wet or soft, we address that. If access is tight, we plan accordingly. If your property is near the bay or in an area with heavy road salt exposure, we recommend sealing the finished concrete to extend its life.
We clean up every bit of debris, haul away old concrete, and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave. Your property is clean and ready to use the next day (concrete needs 24 to 48 hours to set depending on temperature and humidity).
Concrete repair and resurfacing in Irondequoit typically runs from $3 to $4 per square foot for scaling or minor spalling, and up to $6 or $7 per square foot for full replacement of a driveway or sidewalk. A typical 400-square-foot driveway repair might cost $1,200 to $2,400, depending on how deep the damage goes and whether the sub-base needs work. Concrete sealing to protect against salt and freeze-thaw runs $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot and is one of the best investments for Irondequoit homeowners. Lifting a settled slab or garage apron costs $4 to $5 per square foot. The biggest variables are size, access (tight lots cost more), condition of the sub-base and soil, and urgency (winter repairs may take longer to cure). Call us at (585) 575-0462 for a free estimate on your driveway, sidewalk, garage floor or patio. We serve Irondequoit and all surrounding Rochester neighborhoods.
