Concrete is one of the most versatile building materials for outdoor surfaces. At TurnKey Renovators, we offer a range of concrete services designed to improve the function and appearance of your property.
A concrete driveway provides a stable, long-lasting surface for daily vehicle traffic. Whether you need a brand-new driveway or want to replace one that has cracked and settled, our team handles the full scope of work. This includes removing the existing surface, grading the base, setting forms, and pouring concrete to the correct thickness for your specific use.
A well-built patio extends your usable living space outdoors. We pour concrete patios in a variety of sizes and configurations, from a simple slab for a grill area to a larger surface for furniture and foot traffic. Since TurnKey Renovators also offers outdoor kitchen, pergola, and covered patio services, we can handle multiple parts of your project together.
We install concrete walkways along the sides of homes, through gardens, and between driveways and front entries. For properties with uneven or deteriorating sidewalks, we handle removal and replacement. Proper grading and drainage are part of every walkway project to prevent water from pooling on the surface.
Every concrete project we take on follows a structured process from start to finish. Here is how we handle your project once you decide to move forward.
Concrete is durable, but it does not last forever. Here are common signs that your concrete may need repair or replacement:
Widening cracks: Cracks wider than a quarter inch can allow water to seep beneath the slab and cause further damage.Not every issue requires a full replacement. Minor cracks can often be filled and sealed, and surfaces with flaking can sometimes be retextured. However, if the slab has shifted significantly, has large structural cracks, or the base material has washed away, replacement is usually the better long-term investment. Our team evaluates your existing concrete and recommends the most practical option.
While we provide detailed estimates after an on-site consultation, here are the main variables that affect pricing:

A properly installed concrete driveway typically lasts 25 to 30 years. Soil movement, heavy rainfall, and lack of maintenance can shorten that lifespan. Regular sealing and prompt crack repair help extend it.
Fall and spring are ideal because temperatures are moderate and there is less risk of heavy rain or extreme heat during curing. Summer pours are possible with precautions, but conditions are less predictable.
Only if the old surface is structurally sound, level, and free of major cracks. If the base has failed or the slab has shifted, the same problems will carry into the new layer. Full removal and replacement is usually the more reliable option.
Residential driveways and patios are typically poured at four inches thick. Driveways that support heavier vehicles or commercial traffic may need five to six inches.
Keep the surface clean, fix small cracks before they spread, and apply a concrete sealer every two to three years. In New Orleans, keeping drainage paths clear so water does not sit on the surface is also important.
Yes. Updated concrete improves curb appeal and adds functional outdoor space, both of which buyers value. Cracked or uneven concrete can have the opposite effect.
The most common causes are soil movement, tree root growth, water erosion beneath the slab, and temperature changes. The region’s clay-heavy soil shifts unevenly with moisture, which puts stress on concrete surfaces.
Concrete is generally the more durable choice. It handles Louisiana heat better, lasts 25 to 30 years compared to 15 to 20 for asphalt, and requires less maintenance over time.
Fresh concrete needs at least four to eight hours of set time before light rain will not cause surface damage. Heavy rain in the first few hours can weaken the surface and leave permanent marks.
Pouring directly over large roots can restrict water and oxygen, harming the tree. The roots can also push against the slab and cause cracking. Routing the concrete around root zones or using root barriers is usually the better approach.
