New York Concrete Work, Sent to One Contractor or Two
A stoop in Nassau, a driveway in Suffolk, a patio in Westchester or a walk upstate. Tell us about it once and it goes to one local contractor, not a list of companies calling you.
- One participating contractor per ZIP code
- Driveways, patios, stoops, walks and stamped finishes
- Costs you nothing, and you can still say no
How it works
Three steps, one contractor
There's no charge for sending a New York concrete request, and no obligation to hire.
Give us your ZIP and the job
Type the New York ZIP code where the work is, then the type of job, its size and when you want it done.
We hand it to one contractor
Only the participating contractor covering that ZIP code receives it, plus a second if you ask for two estimates. Nobody bids on it.
Meet them and decide
They get in touch, see the job and give you an estimate. You can say yes, no or not yet.
Before you build
New York's rules depend on where you live
New York State doesn't license home improvement contractors itself. According to the Attorney General, they must be licensed in New York City and in Suffolk, Nassau, Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties, and Westchester notes that Yonkers licenses contractors through its own consumer protection bureau. Statewide, the General Business Law requires written contracts for most home improvements over $500 and gives you an unconditional right to cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing.
Digging rules are statewide but split between two call centers. New York 811 serves New York City and Long Island, UDig NY serves the rest of the state, and excavators must give at least two full working days' notice under Part 753. Frost depth, by contrast, comes from each municipality's own code table, from 36 inches in Nassau's Village of Malverne to 48 inches in the Town of Ithaca.
Before you sign with a New York concrete contractor
- The city or county home improvement license number, where one is required
- A written contract for any job over $500
- Where your deposit is held: an escrow account or a bond
- Your three-business-day right to cancel, in writing
- Who files the town, village, city or county permit
- A locate request with New York 811 or UDig NY before digging
How we choose contractors
Your request goes to one local contractor, not a list of companies calling you
Want to compare? Ask for a second estimate and we'll add one more. NY Concrete Pros is an estimate-request service and doesn't do concrete work itself. A New York request goes to one participating contractor who covers that ZIP code, so you get one conversation, or two if you ask, instead of a string of sales calls. Contractors pay us a fee for each request; homeowners pay nothing.
- LocalThey work in your part of New York and only take ZIP codes they cover.
- Licensed where requiredThey hold the city or county home improvement license your area requires.
- InsuredThey carry liability insurance and will show proof.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Who reaches out after I send my request?
One participating concrete contractor whose area includes your New York ZIP code. No other company in New York gets it from us unless you choose two estimates.
Can I get more than one estimate?
Yes. Choose two estimates on the form and a second participating New York concrete contractor who covers your ZIP code gets the request too. Upstate, where freeze-thaw cycles are hard on flatwork, two contractors may disagree on base depth, air-entrained mix and control joints, so comparing is worthwhile. If no other concrete contractor serves your New York ZIP code, your request simply goes to the one that does.
How quickly do they get in touch?
Usually within one business day; weekend and holiday requests are normally picked up the next business day. If you hear nothing in two business days, email us.
Do I pay for an estimate?
NY Concrete Pros is free to use. Concrete estimates are normally free too, but if a contractor charges for a survey or drawings, they should tell you before the visit.
What if no contractor covers my ZIP code?
We email you to let you know, and your request isn't shared with anyone. We keep it and write again if a participating contractor begins covering your area.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in New York?
There's no state license, but New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties require a home improvement license, and Yonkers has its own. Elsewhere, check with your town or city.
Can I cancel a home improvement contract in New York?
Yes. Under the General Business Law you have an unconditional right to cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing, and the cancellation must be in writing.
Which one-call center covers my New York address?
New York 811 covers the five boroughs and Nassau and Suffolk counties; UDig NY covers the rest of the state. Either way, excavators need to give at least two full working days' notice.
How does NY Concrete Pros make money?
Participating contractors pay NY Concrete Pros a fee for each request they receive. Homeowners are never charged and never obliged to hire.
