Sealing concrete matters:
- Helps reduce water intrusion
- Helps protect against freeze and thaw exposure
- Helps resist salts and contaminants
- Helps preserve the appearance of the concrete

Not sure how it all fits together? A great outdoor space isn't just a collection of projects. Patio size, traffic flow, furniture, shade, fire features and entertaining areas should work together. Already know exactly what you want? We'll help execute it. Need help creating the plan? Ask about OnCall design services.
Shade, warmth and gathering in one frame, at the hour the space earns its keep.

Most outdoor living projects are really two or three of those at once. A patio wants a sitting wall to give it an edge, the sitting wall wants a fire pit to face, and the pergola is what makes the whole thing usable in August. Quoting them together is cheaper than quoting them in three separate years, because the excavation and the concrete work happen once.
Why does Indiana weather matter so much here?
Freeze and thaw is the thing that decides whether outdoor concrete looks good in year five. Water gets into the surface, freezes, expands and lifts the top layer away, and the result is the spalled, pockmarked patio you see on houses all over central Indiana. The defenses are a properly prepared base, correct thickness, and sealing.
Sealing existing concrete is its own service for that reason. A patio that is still sound but starting to look tired is usually a cleaning and sealing job rather than a replacement, and it is worth knowing that before anybody quotes you a tear out.
Stamped and stained finishes
Stamped concrete takes the pattern while the slab is still workable, which makes it a one chance operation and a reason to care who is holding the tools. Staining is applied to cured concrete and can be done to an existing slab as well as a new one. Both are more forgiving of Indiana winters than a paver field with joints, and both need sealing on a cycle to hold their color.
How outdoor projects get quoted
On site, always. Grade, drainage, access for equipment and where the downspouts discharge all change the number, and none of them are visible in a photograph. Cory measures, works out the base and thickness the site actually needs, and sends a written itemized bid.
Work that needs a permit is performed by licensed electrical, plumbing and HVAC trade partners. OnCall coordinates it as the general contractor so you are dealing with one company rather than three.

Frequently asked questions.
What warranty comes with concrete work?
Qualifying concrete work carries a three year workmanship warranty, where most other OnCall services carry one year from substantial completion. The details are in our terms.
Can you seal a patio you did not pour?
Yes. Sealing existing concrete is a standalone service and it is often the right answer for a slab that is sound but looking tired.
Do you build pools or pool decks?
No pools. The concrete around an existing pool is a conversation worth having on site.
Is a pergola a kit or built from scratch?
Both exist. Kit installation is handyman work. A built wood pergola is an outdoor living project and gets an on-site quote.
When can concrete be poured in Indiana?
Scheduling works around temperature rather than the calendar, and Cory will move a pour rather than place concrete in conditions that will cost you the finish.
