Expert Concrete Services in Chicago
Driveways, walkways, patios, and steps engineered to stand up to Chicago’s freeze-thaw winters.
Concrete Built for Chicago Homes
Built to Last Through Every Chicago Winter
Few materials work harder than the concrete around your home — and few are tested harder by Chicago’s freeze-thaw winters. Poured wrong, it cracks and heaves within a season. At Pegasus Construction, we install driveways, walkways, patios, steps, and more with the proper base, depth, and drainage to resist Chicago’s ground movement and de-icing salts. The result is concrete that stays level, looks sharp, and lasts for decades.

- Cracked, heaving, or sinking driveway or walkway
- Uneven, tripping-hazard sidewalks and paths
- An old, stained driveway that hurts your curb appeal
- Water pooling or draining toward your foundation
- You want a new patio for outdoor living
- Crumbling front steps, stoop, or porch landing
Concrete That's Built to Last in Chicago
Your Concrete Project, Handled End to End
We handle your concrete project from grading to finish — preparing a proper compacted base, setting the right depth and reinforcement, controlling joints, and grading for drainage so water moves away from your home. Done right, your concrete resists the cracking and heaving that plague poorly installed slabs.
As a full design-build contractor, we can combine concrete work with porches, decks, siding, and exterior projects — one accountable team, one cohesive result, fully permitted with the city.

Concrete Built for Chicago's Homes & Neighborhoods
Built to Beat Freeze-Thaw
Chicago’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on concrete — water seeps into improperly poured slabs, freezes, and heaves them apart. We prepare a compacted base, pour at the correct depth with proper reinforcement and control joints, and grade for drainage so your driveway, walks, and patio stay level for the long haul.
From Bungalow Walks to Two-Flat Drives
We pour concrete for every kind of Chicago property — front walks and stoops on bungalows in Portage Park and Jefferson Park, side drives and aprons for two-flats and greystones in Logan Square and Avondale, and backyard patios across the city and suburbs.
Permits & Chicago Requirements
Driveways, aprons, and curb cuts often require permits in Chicago. We handle the paperwork with the Chicago Department of Buildings (and coordinate public-way requirements where needed) so your project is compliant from the start.
Neighborhoods We Serve
From Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Roscoe Village to Bucktown, Wicker Park, and Irving Park — plus suburbs like Oak Park, Evanston, Skokie, Park Ridge, and Niles — Pegasus Construction is the concrete contractor Chicago homeowners trust.

Concrete FAQs
Why does concrete crack and heave in Chicago?
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles drive water into the slab and base; when it freezes it expands and lifts the concrete. The fix is proper installation — a compacted base, correct depth, reinforcement, control joints, and good drainage — which is exactly how we pour.
How do you make concrete last through Chicago winters?
We prepare a solid compacted base, pour at the right thickness with reinforcement and properly spaced control joints, grade for drainage, and recommend sealing to resist de-icing salt damage.
Do you offer decorative or stamped concrete?
Yes — stamped, broom-finish, and decorative options give you the look of pavers or stone with the durability and lower maintenance of concrete.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway?
Often, yes — driveways, aprons, and curb cuts can require permits in Chicago. We handle the permitting with the Chicago Department of Buildings so you don’t have to.
How long before I can use new concrete?
Concrete is typically walkable in a day or two and ready for vehicles after about a week of curing, though we’ll give you exact guidance for your project and the weather.
Can you fix drainage and pooling water?
Yes — we grade and slope new concrete to move water away from your home and foundation, correcting the pooling that damages slabs and basements.
What affects the cost of a concrete project?
Square footage, thickness, base prep, finish type, and access all factor in. We provide a clear, itemized estimate.
