The entryway sets the tone for the whole house, and it is also the slab that takes the most salt every winter. Maxcon Concrete pours new concrete porches and entry landings, extends porches that are too small to be useful, and resurfaces tired slabs that are structurally fine but look rough.
We build entries that connect cleanly to your steps, walkway and door threshold — right height, right slope, no lip to trip on, and a finish that works with your brick, siding and stone.
Porch and entryway work we do
- New poured porch slabs and covered entry floors
- Widening or extending an undersized porch
- Entry landings, thresholds and transition pads
- Resurfacing and overlays on sound existing slabs
- Column and post footings for porch roofs and pergolas
- Wrapping a porch with stamped or colored borders
Built to fit the house
Entryway concrete is all about elevations. We set the slab so it lands correctly below the door threshold, slopes away from the house so water and melting snow never sit against the sill, and meets the steps at an even riser. Where a porch roof or columns are involved, footings are placed and sized for the load before the slab goes in.
Reinforcement is tied in, an expansion joint separates the slab from the foundation, and control joints are laid out to look like part of the design rather than an afterthought. Finishes range from a clean light broom to stamped stone borders that echo your walkway or patio.
Resurfacing vs. replacing a porch
If the slab is solid but the surface is spalled, flaking or stained, a polymer-modified overlay can make it look new and add texture and color at a fraction of replacement cost. If it is cracked through, pitched toward the house, or sitting on a settled base, replacement is the right investment. We inspect before quoting and tell you which camp you are in.
Why it lasts through Pennsylvania winters
Western PA runs through dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Water works into concrete, freezes, expands, and pops the surface apart — and road salt speeds the whole process up. Our porches and entryways are built for that reality, not for a mild climate.
That means air-entrained concrete so there is room inside the mix for ice to expand, a compacted stone base that drains instead of holding water, positive slope away from your foundation, and a sealer applied once the slab has cured. Keep it sealed on a regular schedule and use calcium-chloride-free de-icer the first winter, and you get decades of service out of it.
How our process works
- Step 1
Free estimate
We walk the site with you, take measurements, and talk through drainage, access and finish options.
- Step 2
Design & quote
You get a clear written quote with thickness, reinforcement, finish and joint layout spelled out.
- Step 3
Prep & pour
Old concrete out, sub-base graded and compacted, forms set, reinforcement placed, then we pour.
- Step 4
Finish & seal
We finish, tool control joints, cure it properly, seal when it's ready, and leave the site clean.
