Why Most Concrete Work Doesn’t Come with a Warranty And Why You Should Be Cautious
"Do you offer a warranty on concrete?"
This is one of the most common questions we get and the honest answer is: no reputable contractor can guarantee concrete against cracking or surface wear, because it’s a natural material affected by factors outside our control.
Here’s why:
Concrete Is a Natural Material, Not a Manufactured Product
Unlike siding or roofing shingles that come from a factory with a warranty, concrete is mixed and poured on-site. It’s influenced by:
-
Weather (rain, heat, freeze-thaw cycles)
-
Soil movement or poor sub-base
-
Water drainage
-
Usage and weight loads (e.g. heavy vehicles)
-
Curing conditions and time of year
Even with perfect installation, concrete can develop hairline cracks, spalling, or discoloration and that’s totally normal.
Be Careful With Contractors Offering “Concrete Warranties”
If a contractor tells you they guarantee no cracks for 10 years, that’s a major red flag.
Why?
-
It’s often a marketing gimmick to win your job
-
They may not be around when you try to call them back
-
They’ll likely blame something else (salt, rain, your car, etc.) when a problem shows us
In reality, no contractor can control the ground beneath your concrete once they leave the site.
What Uptopcontractor Does Guarantee
While we don’t offer unrealistic concrete warranties, here’s what we promise:
✅ Proper base prep, formwork, and rebar where needed
✅ Quality mix and proper finishing
✅ Clear communication about what’s normal (like minor cracking)
✅ Expert advice on curing and maintenance
✅ We stand behind our work with real integrity, not fine print
We’d rather educate you upfront than make empty promises we can’t keep.
Tip: Focus on the Quality of Installation, Not the Warranty
The best protection you have is choosing a contractor who:
-
Prepares a solid base
-
Uses proper control joints
-
Explains the curing process
-
Doesn’t over-promise to win your business
COMMON QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED
How Much Does a Concrete Driveway Cost in Ontario?
Costs vary based on size, prep work, and finish, but most concrete driveways in Toronto and the GTA range from $14–$20 per square foot. For a standard 2-car driveway, expect $8,000–$12,000 installed.
We always offer free, no-pressure quotes and we keep our pricing honest and upfront.
How Long Does Concrete Take to Cure?
Your new concrete surface will be walkable in 24–48 hours, but full curing can take 28 days. We give you clear aftercare instructions to ensure the longest possible lifespan.
Can You Pour Concrete in the Winter?
Yes but only under the right conditions. We take special precautions like heated blankets, additives, and proper site prep to make sure winter installations cure properly and last.
What’s Better: Concrete or Asphalt for Driveways?
Concrete lasts longer (20–30 years vs. 10–15 for asphalt), is lower maintenance, and handles hot and cold weather better — especially in Southern Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles.
How Do I Maintain My Concrete Walkway or Steps?
-
Seal every 2–3 years
-
Avoid harsh salt in winter
-
Keep it clean from debris and moss
-
Repair cracks early
Concrete Driveway Tips
-
Always check for proper drainage before pouring
-
Reinforce with rebar or wire mesh for longer lifespan
-
Choose a broom finish for traction in wet conditions
-
Consider adding exposed aggregate or stamped designs for style
Cleaning Concrete
To clean your concrete walkway or steps:
-
Use a pressure washer with care
-
Apply degreaser for oil stains
-
Avoid metal shovels that can chip the surface
-
Re-seal high-traffic areas every few years
What Causes Cracks in Concrete?
Even properly installed concrete can develop hairline cracks due to:
-
Freeze-thaw cycles
-
Ground shifting
-
Heavy loads
-
Lack of proper joints or base prep
We use control joints and quality materials to reduce cracking risk.
