Concrete Contractor in Dearborn, MI
Driveways, patios, and commercial flatwork — done right the first time. Family-run and serving Dearborn and Metro Detroit since 1989.
Concrete Work in Dearborn
Concrete Impressions has poured driveways, patios, and commercial flatwork throughout Dearborn and the surrounding Wayne County communities since 1989. We're a family-run crew — the same people who give you the estimate are the ones on site doing the work, from tear-out to the final finish.
Dearborn homes and businesses see the full range of Michigan weather, and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on concrete. We pour with proper base prep, compaction, and finishing so your driveway, patio, or commercial lot holds up season after season — not just the day it's poured. From residential driveways and patios to large-scale commercial flatwork and parking areas, we handle it start to finish.
Whether you call it a cement driveway or a concrete driveway, it’s the same pour — and in Dearborn we handle everything from a single driveway tear-out to full commercial flatwork.
Dearborn requires a permit for concrete work, and we take care of the permitting for you as part of the job — see what a concrete permit involves in Dearborn and across Metro Detroit.
What Concrete Work in Dearborn Usually Involves
Dearborn's neighborhoods vary a lot by section, but much of the city is older and densely platted — narrower lots, homes closer together, and driveways sized for an earlier era. Original concrete on many of these properties has been in the ground a long time, so replacement on a rebuilt base is far more common than patching.
Density is the practical constraint. Narrow side drives, shared property lines, and limited staging room mean the pour has to be planned rather than improvised, and we take care to protect the neighboring property. Dearborn does require a permit for concrete work, and we handle that as part of the job rather than leaving it to you.

Cement and Concrete: The Same Job
A lot of Dearborn homeowners call asking for cement work — a cement driveway, cement steps, a cement patio. Strictly, cement is only the binding powder; concrete is the finished material made from cement, sand, aggregate and water. That finished material is what forms every slab we pour.
The distinction matters to suppliers, not to you. A cement driveway in Dearborn is a concrete driveway, and we handle it start to finish including the city permit that Dearborn requires for this work.

Dearborn Concrete FAQs
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Dearborn?
Yes. The City of Dearborn requires a permit for this work, and most applications go through the BS&A online system. We handle the filing as part of the job. Be wary of any contractor who asks you to pull it in your own name — that usually means they can't.
How much does a concrete or cement driveway cost in Dearborn?
It depends on square footage, thickness and whether the old slab has to come out. Rates step down at 500 and 1,000 square feet, and there's a project minimum. Dearborn's older, narrower lots often mean smaller pours, which price at a higher per-foot rate — the estimator accounts for that.
Can you work on a narrow Dearborn lot?
Yes, and it's most of what we do here. Dearborn's older neighborhoods are densely platted, so side drives are tight and staging room is limited. We plan truck placement and access before the pour rather than improvising on the day, and we protect the neighboring property while we work.
Should I repair or replace my old Dearborn driveway?
If the concrete is original to the house, replacement on a rebuilt base is usually the honest answer. Patching a slab that's been in the ground for decades tends to buy a season or two. Our guide on repair versus replacement walks through how to tell.
