Residential Concrete

Concrete for Larger Residential Projects

Affinity is built for the residential projects that need real equipment and real crews: full driveway installations and replacements that have to hold up for decades.

Built for Bigger

More Than a Small Patio Pour

Plenty of contractors will pour a small pad. Fewer are set up to take out an entire driveway, correct the base underneath it and place the whole thing back in a single day. Affinity's materials reference driveway work in the 1,000–5,000 sq. ft. range, and that's the scale this company is organized around.

With roughly 30 years behind the work, the parts that decide whether concrete lasts (base preparation, drainage, thickness, jointing) get handled as a matter of routine rather than an afterthought.

Before & After

A Driveway Replacement, Start to Finish

The same driveway at the two stages that decide the outcome: prepared and formed, then poured and finished.

Residential driveway excavated to grade with side forms set and reinforcing wire laid over a compacted stone baseBefore
Old driveway removed, base graded and compacted, forms set and reinforcement laid. This stage is what determines whether concrete lasts.
Newly finished concrete driveway and street apron at a home, marked off with safety cones while it curesAfter
The same driveway poured, jointed and finished, with the street apron tied in and cones set while the surface cures.

What We Install

Residential Concrete Services

Driveway Installation

New concrete driveways poured over a properly prepared and compacted base, jointed to control cracking and finished for traction.

Driveway Replacement

Removal and haul-off of failed concrete, sub-base repair and re-compaction, then a new driveway placed at the correct thickness and grade.

Removal & Installation

Deteriorated concrete taken out and hauled off, the base underneath corrected, then new concrete placed at the correct thickness and grade.

Power Wash & Seal

Concrete cleaned back and sealed against the water, salt and oil that drive freeze-thaw damage through a Cincinnati winter.

How a Driveway Gets Built

The Part Under the Concrete

  1. 01

    Remove & Excavate

    Existing concrete is broken out and hauled off, and the area is dug to the depth the new pour needs.

  2. 02

    Base & Compaction

    Stone base is placed, graded for drainage and compacted so the concrete has uniform support underneath.

  3. 03

    Form & Reinforce

    Side forms are set to line and grade, and reinforcement is laid before any concrete arrives.

  4. 04

    Pour & Finish

    Concrete is placed, screeded, floated, jointed and finished, then left to cure before it takes traffic.

Around the Property

The Same Standard Everywhere Else

A driveway is usually the largest pour on a residential property, but rarely the only concrete that has aged out. Where existing work has broken up or settled, removal and installation covers taking it out and putting it back properly, with the same base preparation the driveway gets.

Concrete that is still sound is often better served by power washing and sealing, and where the work meets an existing stone wall, that gets cleaned and tuck pointed on the same visit.
