At TurnKey Renovators, we install concrete patios for residential and commercial properties across the New Orleans area. We handle every step of the project: site prep, forming, pouring, finishing, and sealing. Our patios are built to handle Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and heavy rainfall so you get a surface that looks good and lasts.

What’s Included in Our Concrete Patio Service

Every patio project we take on covers the full scope of work from start to finish. Here’s what you get when you hire TurnKey Renovators:

• Site evaluation and layout planning: We assess your yard’s grading, drainage, soil conditions, and underground utilities before any work begins. We confirm permit requirements with your local jurisdiction.
• Excavation and base preparation: We remove any existing surface, compact the soil, and install a gravel base layer. This step is critical in New Orleans, where clay soils expand and contract with moisture and can crack slabs that aren’t properly supported.
• Formwork and reinforcement: We build forms to define your patio’s shape, edges, and drainage slope. Wire mesh or rebar goes in for crack control and structural strength.
• Concrete pouring and finishing: We place, spread, and vibrate the concrete to remove air pockets. Your chosen finish is applied while the surface is still workable: broom texture, trowel smoothing, or decorative finishing. Control joints are cut at measured intervals.
• Curing and sealing: We apply curing compounds to control moisture loss, especially important in New Orleans’ heat. Once cured, the surface is sealed to protect against UV, moisture, and stains.
• Final walkthrough: We review the finished patio with you and confirm everything meets your expectations before closing out the project.
• Demolition and removal of any existing slab or hardscape, if needed. Disposal is included.

Signs You Need a New Patio or Patio Repair

Not every issue requires a full replacement. Here’s how to tell the difference.

Call us for a repair if you have isolated cracks less than a quarter-inch wide, small chips, or minor surface wear. If the slab is still level and structurally sound, repairs are the most cost-effective fix.

Call us for a replacement if you see extensive cracking across the slab, sections that have sunk or tilted, widespread surface spalling, or drainage problems sending water toward your foundation. These signs point to subgrade failure, and the only lasting fix is a full tear-out and new pour with proper ground preparation.

Not sure which you need? We’ll assess your existing patio and give you an honest recommendation.

How We Build for New Orleans Conditions

Our installation methods account for the specific challenges of building in this region.

We compact and layer the subgrade to handle the clay soils underneath most New Orleans properties. These soils swell when wet and shrink when dry, and that movement cracks slabs that aren’t built on a stable base.

We time our pours and use curing compounds to manage humidity and heat. Concrete that dries too fast in our summers develops shrinkage cracks and a weak surface layer. We often pour during early morning hours in the hottest months.

Every patio we install gets a sealer with UV inhibitors. Unprotected concrete fades and breaks down faster here than in cooler regions. We also monitor weather closely and schedule pours during clear windows to protect fresh concrete from rain washout.

What Affects the Cost of Your Patio

We provide detailed, line-item estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Here are the main factors that shape pricing:

• Size and layout: Larger patios cost more overall, but the per-square-foot cost drops as size increases. Curved edges, multiple levels, or irregular shapes add formwork and labor.
• Finish: Broom-finish is the most affordable. Decorative finishes like stamping, coloring, or exposed aggregate add materials and labor time.
• Site conditions: Slope, poor drainage, soft ground, or limited equipment access increase preparation work.
• Demolition: Removing an existing slab or hardscape adds to the project cost. Disposal is included in our estimates.

If your budget needs adjusting, we’ll work with you on finish options or phasing to keep the project within reach.
