Concrete Slab in Windsor, Ontario
A well-built concrete slab creates a clean, durable surface for garages, sheds, workshops, patios, and utility spaces. We prepare the base, reinforcement, joints, and finish so your new slab is made for how you will use it.
About This Service
A concrete slab creates a strong, usable surface for a garage floor, shed base, workshop, patio, or equipment pad. The visible finish matters, but the base below it matters just as much. In Windsor, a slab needs proper site preparation, compaction, reinforcement, joint placement, and grading so it can handle daily use and seasonal temperature changes without unnecessary movement.
Standing water, a settling shed, crumbling edges, or a floor that has become difficult to clean are common signs that an old slab may need attention. You may also need a new slab before installing a backyard structure or enlarging a driveway-side parking area. Lots near Riverside Drive and South Walkerville often present different drainage paths and access constraints, which is why a site visit is more useful than a one-size-fits-all quote.
First, we discuss how the surface will be used, from passenger vehicles to storage or outdoor living. The crew removes unsuitable material where needed, establishes the grade, prepares and compacts the base, then sets forms and reinforcing. We plan control joints to guide normal concrete movement and finish the surface with the traction and appearance that best match the location.
Once cured, your slab should feel solid underfoot, drain as intended, and provide a tidy foundation for the activity planned there. A simple pad may move through the work stages quickly, while larger slabs or areas with demolition, tight access, and complex drainage require more time. Weather also affects scheduling and curing, so we set realistic expectations rather than treating concrete as a same-day, ready-for-use product.

Everything You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers address common questions we hear before concrete work begins. Every property is different, so a site review is the best way to confirm the right approach for your project.
Can a concrete slab be poured over an existing slab in Windsor?
Sometimes an overlay is possible, but it depends on the condition, movement, height, and drainage of the existing concrete. If the old slab is badly cracked, sinking, or heaving, placing new concrete over it may repeat the same problem. We inspect the base and discuss whether removal is the more durable option. The intended use also affects the recommendation.
How long before I can use a new concrete slab?
Concrete begins setting on pour day, but it continues gaining strength during the curing period. Light foot traffic may be possible sooner than vehicle traffic, while heavy equipment or a structure should wait longer. The appropriate timing depends on the slab's purpose, weather, and mix design. We provide clear guidance so you do not load the surface before it is ready.
What thickness should a garage or shed slab be?
The right thickness depends on what will sit or travel on the slab. A small garden shed, a passenger-vehicle garage, and a workshop with heavier equipment have different demands. Base preparation, reinforcing, and edge details are also part of the decision, not afterthoughts. We ask about your planned use before setting out the recommended scope.
How should I maintain an outdoor concrete slab?
Keep the surface clear of standing water, leaves, and de-icing materials that can be hard on concrete. Use a plastic shovel instead of a metal edge when clearing snow, and avoid harsh chemical products unless they are suitable for concrete. Cleaning spills promptly helps preserve the finish. Periodic inspection of joints and nearby grading can catch small issues before they become larger ones.
