Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a convenient time to visit your property. You never pay anything for the consultation - it is a chance for us to see the job and for you to ask questions.
We come out, measure the area, look at the site conditions, and listen to what you want. Within a few days you receive a written proposal that covers everything - demolition, base prep, the pour, finishing, cleanup, and any permit costs. No hidden add-ons.
Once you approve the proposal, we handle permits, schedule the work, and keep you informed at each stage. After the job is done, we walk the finished project with you before we pack up. You leave with care instructions and our contact information if anything comes up later.
We hold a Maryland Home Improvement Contractor license as required by state law. Every job is covered by liability and workers compensation insurance - so if something unexpected happens on your property, you are protected.
Every estimate starts with a visit to your property. You get a written proposal with a fixed price before any work begins. The number in the proposal is the number you pay - no surprise charges once the job starts.
We are a locally owned business that has worked on homes throughout Germantown and Montgomery County for years. We know the soil conditions, permit requirements, and HOA rules in this area because we live and work here too.
Every project comes with a workmanship guarantee. If something fails because of how we built it, we come back and fix it. We put that in writing because we stand behind every pour, every base, and every joint we cut.

"They replaced our cracked driveway in two days and the base prep was thorough - you could tell they actually dug out the old material and compacted everything before pouring. It has been through two winters now and there is not a crack in it."
- Marcus T., Gaithersburg - Concrete driveway building
"We wanted a stamped patio to match the brick on the front of our house. They brought sample boards to the consultation, walked us through the color options, and the finished product looks like natural stone. Our neighbors ask about it constantly."
- Sandra K., Rockville - Stamped concrete services
"The sidewalk in front of our townhome had heaved sections that were a real trip hazard. They handled the Montgomery County permit, did the demo and pour in one day, and the new walk is perfectly level. Response to my initial call was fast too."
- David R., Montgomery Village - Concrete sidewalk building
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation to hire after the estimate. Once you submit this form, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site visit.

Concrete expands and contracts with temperature changes. Control joints - the grooves cut into a slab - guide cracking to happen along planned lines rather than randomly. Hairline cracks at joints are normal. Wide, diagonal cracks or cracks that cause sections to shift up or down are a sign the base failed.
Concrete handles Maryland's freeze-thaw cycles better than asphalt over the long run. Asphalt softens in summer heat and requires resealing every three to five years. Concrete, sealed and maintained correctly, can last 30 to 50 years without major repair. Initial cost is higher for concrete, but the lifetime cost is often lower.
Montgomery County sits on Piedmont clay that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. That seasonal movement puts stress on slabs from below. A properly prepared base - compacted soil, gravel drainage layer, correct slab thickness - absorbs that movement. A driveway poured directly on unprepared clay will crack within a few winters.
Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services requires permits for driveways, large patios, and any work affecting stormwater runoff or the public right-of-way. A licensed contractor handles the permit application for you. Permitted work is inspected, which protects you if you sell your home. Learn more at the{" "} Montgomery County permitting office.
The ideal window is mid-April through October. Concrete needs temperatures between roughly 50 and 90 degrees to cure correctly. Winter pours are possible with precautions but add cost and risk. Spring and early fall are the most reliable windows in the Germantown area, and contractors book up quickly once the weather turns.
Yes - sealing is one of the most effective things you can do to extend the life of concrete in a freeze-thaw climate. An unsealed surface absorbs water, which freezes and expands inside the pores, eventually flaking off the top layer. A sealed surface sheds water before it can get in. Most contractors recommend resealing every two to three years. The Portland Cement Association has a good overview at{" "} cement.org.
Custom Germantown Concrete is a licensed and insured concrete contractor company based in Germantown, MD, serving 12 communities across Montgomery County since 2019.
We hold a Maryland Home Improvement Contractor (MHIC) license issued by the Maryland Department of Labor, which is required by state law for any contractor performing residential work in Maryland.
Since 2019, we have completed concrete projects across all 16 service types we offer - driveways, patios, foundations, sidewalks, decorative work, and more. Every project comes with a written estimate, a permit where required, and a workmanship guarantee.
Learn more about usAsk for a copy of their MHIC license number, proof of insurance, and references from recent projects in your area. A contractor who hesitates on any of those requests is not worth the risk.
Expect noise, a dumpster or haul-away truck during demolition, and forms set up along the edges of the slab. The pour itself is fast - a few hours for most residential projects. After that, the site goes quiet during the curing period.
Clean edges, evenly spaced control joints, a slight slope away from your home, and a consistent texture across the surface. No puddles should sit on the slab after rain, and no sections should be noticeably higher or lower than adjacent ones.
If you have questions about a specific project, call us at (301) 872-6617 - we are happy to talk through what is involved before you commit to anything.
Germantown is one of the largest communities in Montgomery County, with around 90,000 residents spread across a series of planned villages - Churchill, Gunners Lake, Kingsview, and Clopper's Mill among them. The community was developed primarily in the 1970s through the 1990s, which means most homes here are between 30 and 50 years old. You can learn more about the area's planning history through the Montgomery Planning Department.
The housing stock across Germantown is a mix of attached townhomes and detached single-family colonials and split-levels, many with brick fronts and mature hardwood trees on the lots. Those big oaks and maples that make the neighborhoods look great also send roots under driveways and sidewalks over time - and the freeze-thaw cycles common to this part of Maryland accelerate cracking on any concrete that is not built with a proper base. Local residents can also find community programming and events at the BlackRock Center for the Arts and explore the Seneca Creek State Park that runs along the western edge of the community.
Custom Germantown Concrete works on homes throughout all of Germantown's villages - whether your property backs up to Seneca Creek or sits along the I-270 corridor. We know the clay soil conditions in this part of Montgomery County, the permit process at the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, and the HOA approval requirements in many of the area's planned communities. If you have a concrete project in Germantown, call us at (301) 872-6617 and we will set up a free on-site estimate.
