Before new concrete goes in, the old concrete has to come out — all of it. Maxcon Concrete handles concrete demolition and removal as part of our replacement projects and as a standalone service for homeowners, businesses, landscapers and general contractors around Gibsonia and greater Pittsburgh.
We break, load and haul, protect the surfaces and landscaping that are staying, and leave the sub-grade ready for whatever comes next — new concrete, pavers, a deck, or topsoil and grass seed.
What we remove
- Driveways, aprons, parking pads and commercial lots
- Patios, walkways, sidewalks and stoops
- Steps, retaining wall footers and column footings
- Garage, shed and basement slabs
- Pool decks and old pool surrounds
- Buried slabs, footers and abandoned foundations
Careful demolition, complete cleanup
Tight North Hills lots need a plan, not just a hammer. We protect lawns and driveways along the haul path, work around utilities, and use the right tool for the space — from hand-operated breakers next to a foundation to a machine-mounted hammer on a full driveway.
Broken concrete is loaded and hauled to a recycling facility wherever possible rather than a landfill. Then we grade the area, compact it if new concrete is going in, and sweep the site. When demolition is the whole job, we can leave the space graded flat and ready for topsoil.
Removal plus replacement in one crew
When you are replacing a driveway or patio, having one company do demolition and the new pour keeps the schedule tight and the accountability simple — there is no waiting on another contractor and no argument about whose base prep it was. Most of our removal work rolls straight into a new slab within a couple of days.
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.
