TurnKey Renovators installs concrete patios for homeowners across New Orleans and the surrounding communities. We handle every stage of the project: site grading, sub-base preparation, reinforcement, pour, finishing, and sealing.
Every patio is built to perform in Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and shifting clay soil. Request a free estimate for your New Orleans patio project.
The finish you select determines how your patio looks, how it feels underfoot, and how much upkeep it requires over time. We install four concrete finish types suited to New Orleans outdoor living:
Standard Broom Finish: Wet concrete is drawn with a broom to create a textured, slip-resistant surface. It drains well, handles heavy foot traffic, and requires minimal maintenance. This is the most practical option for patios built for everyday use.All finishes can be topped with a penetrating or topical sealer selected for UV resistance and moisture protection, both of which are priorities in the New Orleans climate.
We manage every phase of your patio project in-house, from the first site visit through the final seal coat. The list below covers what is standard on every installation and what can be added based on your project’s needs.
Every patio we install follows the same structured process from first visit to final seal. Skipping or rushing any stage, particularly sub-base preparation, is the most common reason concrete patios fail early in Louisiana’s soil conditions.
We meet on-site to assess the space, review drainage and grading conditions, discuss layout options, and walk through available finishes. This determines what the project requires before an estimate is written.
You receive a detailed estimate covering scope, materials, finish type, and timeline. Nothing is added to the cost after the project begins that was not in the original estimate.
The area is excavated, graded to slope water away from the structure, and compacted. A gravel sub-base is installed to provide stable, draining support under the slab, which is the step that determines how the concrete performs over time in New Orleans soil conditions.
Wooden forms define the perimeter and shape of the slab. Rebar or welded wire mesh is placed inside the forms to reinforce the pour and reduce cracking as the ground shifts beneath it.
Concrete is placed, screeded to a level surface, and finished using your selected technique. For stamped surfaces, patterns are pressed and color release is applied during this stage, before the concrete begins to set.
The slab cures before foot traffic is allowed. Light use is typically safe after 24 to 48 hours; full cured strength develops over 28 days. Once curing is complete, a sealer is applied to protect the surface against moisture, staining, and UV exposure.
A patch or resurfacing will not hold long-term when the slab itself has structurally failed. Replace rather than repair when you notice:
We can assess your existing slab during the site visit and advise on whether repair or full replacement is the right call.
We provide itemized written estimates for every project. Cost varies based on:
No specific dollar amounts are provided upfront because no two projects are identical. An on-site visit gives us what we need to quote accurately.
When you hire us, you are working directly with a licensed, locally operated contractor who has been building in the Greater New Orleans area for over 15 years.
Here is what that means for your project:
Experience: We have completed more than 1,000 residential and commercial projects across the Greater New Orleans area and understand what Louisiana soil and weather conditions demand from a concrete installation.A concrete patio built with proper sub-base preparation, reinforcement, and drainage is one of the most durable outdoor additions you can make to a Louisiana home. Getting those details right at installation avoids resurfacing and repair costs down the road.

Most residential patio installations are completed in two to four days. The slab then cures over 24 to 48 hours before light foot traffic is permitted, reaching full strength at 28 days.
Ground-level concrete slabs typically do not require a permit in most parishes. Projects that connect to the home’s structure or alter drainage routing may require one. We confirm permit requirements during the site visit.
Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, which stresses slabs from below. Proper sub-base compaction, drainage grading, and rebar reinforcement offset this movement and extend the life of the slab.
Yes. Transitions between the new slab and existing concrete features, including steps and border connections, can be incorporated into the same project.
Smooth-stamped surfaces can become slippery in rain. A non-slip sealer additive improves traction and is worth discussing when selecting a finish for a New Orleans patio.
Most sealers hold up for two to three years in the New Orleans climate. Reapplication is needed when water stops beading on the surface.
Yes, but drainage has to be resolved at the grading stage before the sub-base is laid. We evaluate drainage during the site assessment and grade accordingly.
