At Allshire Building LLC, we pride our company on reliability, communication, integrity and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular project. We look forward to earning your business!
"I recommend Allshire highly and without reservation. Russ, John, and all their crews were professional and we felt comfortable throughout the process. Our bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt (with same footprint) - the end result was fantastic and I believe the value was very high. Just to make others aware - we had a fair amount of back and forth with the inspectors from our township and had several hardware items delivered to our house that were broken so they had to be re-ordered - so job took longer than we (and Allshire) expected. That said, the company has many positive attributes: 1) communication is solid 2) attitude is positive and professional 3) final workmanship very high 4) pricing very reasonable 5) overall demeanor is friendly and flexible which is what we wanted. We will call them again when we get ready to remodel our kitchen. Allshire is a good company because it is made of good people."

"Wow! Our new front porch/patio and driveway are just beautiful! We were very impressed with Construction Fleet Concrete from start to finish. The salesman was so knowledgeable and his analysis was very thorough resulting in a nice detailed estimate. He didn’t try to up-sell us, but presented a few small things we would want but hadn’t thought of. We especially liked how quickly we were put on the schedule and how prompt they were at following through (only a 1-day delay for rain). The construction crew was such hard workers, and their workmanship was admirable. They put in two long days, and then it was finished with clean-up and everything by the second evening. The crew did an incredible job of clean-up and even put back the sod around the new concrete. Their estimate was right in the middle of the ones we received and seemed very fair. One was ridiculously high, and another was suspiciously low. We ran into a few very small glitches and Kevin handled them in a timely manner. We w"

"Mitch and the guys did a nice job tearing out my old asphalt driveway and replacing it with concrete. The work was done in the time Mitch estimated. The quality of the work was very good. You could tell the guys cared about workmanship. The one thing I learned too late in the process was that I should've checked the placement of the forms. Even though the concrete appeared to match the footprint of the asphalt like I requested, if I would've checked the placement (or if Mitch would've made a customer approval part of the process), they could've widened a portion of the driveway and my wife and I could've avoided some frustration. That's my error, not Mitch's but still something for future customers to keep in mind if they don't already. All in all, Hard Rock Construction did a very nice job!"

Think of cement as the glue and concrete as the finished product. Cement is a powdered mix of heated limestone and clay. When you blend that powder with water, sand, and gravel, it hardens into concrete—the strong, durable material used for driveways, patios, and foundations. In other words, every concrete slab contains cement, but cement on its own isn’t strong enough for a driveway.
The price to install an asphalt driveway is $7 to $13 per square foot, slightly less than concrete. However, asphalt requires more maintenance than concrete and does not last as long. This shortened lifespan and increased need for maintenance make concrete a more economical choice in the long term, but ultimately, the choice is up to each consumer.
Most residential driveways do fine with a four‑inch slab. If you’ll park heavy trucks or RVs, bumping up to six or even eight inches adds strength and wards off cracks. Thicker concrete costs more up front, but it can save you repair bills later by standing up to bigger loads and freeze‑thaw stress.
Concrete driveways and asphalt driveways differ in material composition and performance. A concrete driveway is engineered for lasting durability and versatile design options, while an asphalt driveway is more economical initially, yet demands increased maintenance over time. Concrete surfaces provide extensive aesthetic choices and an extended lifespan, making them a strong investment for high-traffic areas.
A concrete driveway endures for 25 to 30 years with proper maintenance and installation. A concrete driveway lasts long because its durable composition and robust construction provide excellent resistance to wear and weather. High-quality installation, regular cleaning, and timely sealing all contribute to extending its lifespan and maintaining performance over decades.
