Frequently Asked Questions
Service Process & Quality
What types of concrete services do you provide?
We offer comprehensive concrete services including stamped concrete, patios, driveways, walkways, steps, repairs, and decorative finishes. Our team handles both residential and commercial projects throughout Bucks County and Montgomery County, PA, with expertise in new installations, resurfacing, and structural repairs. We work with various concrete finishes and applications.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete reaches initial set in 24-48 hours, allowing light foot traffic. However, full cure takes 28 days to achieve maximum strength. We recommend waiting 7 days before driving on new concrete and 28 days before applying sealers or heavy loads. Curing time varies with weather—cooler temperatures extend curing, while heat accelerates it.
Do you work with both residential and commercial clients?
Yes, Q&E Keystone Masonry serves both residential and commercial clients throughout Bucks County, PA. We’ve completed projects ranging from small residential patios to large commercial parking areas. Our experience includes homes, businesses, rental properties, and municipal projects. We adapt our scheduling and methods to meet commercial requirements.
What makes your concrete work different from competitors?
Our commitment to proper site preparation, quality materials, and proven techniques distinguishes us. We don’t cut corners on base preparation, use appropriate concrete mixes for Pennsylvania weather, and employ proper finishing techniques. Principals Ethan Deimeyer and Quentin Ramsay bring decades of experience and won’t settle for substandard work. Our installations last.
Do you offer warranties on concrete work?
We stand behind our concrete installations and use quality materials designed for Pennsylvania’s climate. Specific warranty terms depend on the service and application. We discuss warranty coverage during consultation and provide clear documentation. Proper maintenance is essential—we provide guidance to protect your investment and ensure long-term performance.
Materials & Installation
What concrete mix do you use?
We use appropriate concrete mixes based on application, climate, and project requirements. Our mixes typically include proper cement content, aggregate sizing, air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance, and appropriate water-cement ratios. For decorative work, we may use specialty mixes with integral color or specific aggregate. All mixes meet or exceed local code requirements.
How do you prepare the site for concrete?
Proper preparation is critical for long-lasting concrete. We excavate to appropriate depth, install proper base material (typically 4-6 inches of compacted gravel), grade for drainage, install reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh), and set forms accurately. For areas with poor soil, we take additional steps to ensure stable substrate. Preparation work often takes longer than the pour itself.
Why does concrete crack and how do you prevent it?
All concrete will crack to some degree—it’s the nature of the material. We minimize cracking through proper mix design, adequate reinforcement, appropriate joint placement (control joints), proper curing techniques, and sufficient base preparation. We install joints at strategic locations to control where cracks occur. Some minor cracking is normal and doesn’t affect structural integrity.
Can you match existing concrete on my property?
Matching existing concrete is challenging because concrete changes color as it ages. We can closely approximate color using integral colors or surface stains, but exact matches are difficult. For repairs, we use techniques to blend new concrete with existing surfaces. We discuss realistic expectations during planning to ensure you’re satisfied with results.
What's the difference between stamped and regular concrete?
Regular concrete provides a smooth or broom-finished gray surface, offering durability and functionality at lower cost. Stamped concrete includes pattern imprinting and coloring to replicate stone, brick, or slate appearances, adding significant aesthetic appeal at moderate cost increase. Both provide equal structural performance—the difference is purely aesthetic. We explain options to help you choose.
Pricing & Timeline
How much does concrete work typically cost?
Concrete costs depend on project size, site preparation needs, concrete thickness, reinforcement requirements, finishing options, and current material prices. Basic installations start around $8-12 per square foot, while stamped concrete ranges $12-18 per square foot. We provide detailed, written estimates after evaluating your specific project. Our pricing reflects quality materials and proper installation.
Do you provide free estimates for concrete projects?
Yes, we offer free, no-obligation estimates for all concrete projects throughout our Bucks County and Montgomery County service areas. We’ll visit your property, discuss your goals, evaluate site conditions, and provide a detailed written estimate. This includes design recommendations, material specifications, timeline projections, and answers to your questions.
What factors affect concrete project costs?
Several factors influence pricing: site accessibility and preparation requirements, concrete thickness and reinforcement needs, decorative options (stamping, coloring, special finishes), project size and complexity, removal and disposal of existing concrete, permit fees, seasonal demand, and weather-related scheduling challenges. We explain all cost factors clearly during the estimation process.
Can concrete work fit my budget?
We work with clients to find solutions that meet both vision and budget. If initial plans exceed your budget, we’ll suggest alternatives like phasing work, adjusting decorative elements, modifying sizes, or choosing different finishes while maintaining structural integrity. We’re transparent about what’s achievable at different price points and never compromise essential quality.
How long does a typical concrete project take?
Timeline varies by project scope. A small patio might be completed in 2-3 days (including preparation and finishing), while a large driveway could take a week. Weather significantly impacts scheduling—we can’t pour in rain, freezing temperatures, or extreme heat. We provide realistic timelines during estimation and communicate proactively about any schedule changes.
Property & Maintenance
How do I prepare my property for concrete work?
We’ll provide specific preparation instructions during planning. Generally, ensure clear access for equipment, remove vehicles from work areas, protect landscaping you want preserved, and mark underground utilities. For large projects, we may need temporary driveway access restrictions. We’ll discuss your property’s specific requirements and coordinate timing to minimize inconvenience.
Will concrete work damage my lawn or landscaping?
We take precautions to minimize landscape impact, using established pathways for equipment access and protecting areas near the work site. Some minor disturbance is often unavoidable for excavation and material delivery. We clean up thoroughly after completion. Discuss landscape concerns during planning so we can develop appropriate protection strategies for valuable plantings.
Do I need permits for concrete work?
Permit requirements vary by project type, size, and local jurisdiction. Driveways, large patios, and structural work typically require permits. Replacement of existing concrete in the same footprint may not. We’re familiar with Bucks County and Montgomery County requirements and advise on permit needs. When required, we handle the permitting process and ensure compliance with codes.
How do I maintain my new concrete?
Proper maintenance extends concrete’s life. Keep surfaces clean using mild detergent and water, seal concrete every 2-3 years to protect from moisture and stains, avoid using deicing salts (use sand instead), fix cracks promptly to prevent water infiltration, and ensure proper drainage away from concrete. We provide specific maintenance guidance for your installation type.
What if I find problems after the concrete cures?
We conduct thorough inspections before project completion. If issues arise after curing, contact us immediately. Minor surface imperfections are normal and don’t affect performance. Significant problems are rare with proper installation. We stand behind our work and will address legitimate concerns promptly. Your satisfaction and the long-term performance of our concrete installations are priorities.
