We are a small business. We were established in 2012. Most of business is from word of mouth. We specialize in all line of concrete work, fencing, sodding and landscaping.
"I called three or four concrete companies that advertised 'no job too big or small' and none called me back...except Gibran from Five Star. Our job was pretty small: remove a roughly 6x9' wooden deck and a very cracked old concrete patio about 12x15', replace both with new concrete. Gibran was prompt and responsive in coming to look at the job and providing me with a quote. I didn't have another bid to compare, but looking online, Gibran's price was very reasonable. Concrete work is weather-dependent so it took some days to find the right time when there was no rain, and I could be at the property. Once we settled on a date, his guys were there promptly and got to work. Gibran started with us, left for another site, came back to check, and grabbed a wheelbarrow himself when needed. He was available by phone for any questions I had, but his two guys (Sao and Geraldo) had it all under control. I was impressed at how quickly and smoothly it went, but of course they do this every day. The new pads match the slope of the existing sidewalks perfectly. The pads have now gone through the winter and still look great. We were very satisfied with the job. We'll certainly call Gibran for any future work."

To remove concrete, professionals break it up using a sledgehammer, jackhammer, or heavy machinery, then haul it away—often using a dump truck. Recycling the concrete is a responsible option to consider. Unless you're an experienced DIYer with the right equipment, it's best to hire a concrete contractor to handle the job safely and efficiently.
Whether you need a permit to remove concrete depends on your local regulations. In many areas, you won't need a permit for residential concrete removal as long as you're not altering your home's structure. However, some localities require permits for demolition projects, especially if they're extensive. It's best to check with your local building department to be sure.
With the right equipment and an experienced professional, concrete demolition can often be completed in one day. Factors like the thickness and strength of the concrete affect the timeframe, but a qualified concrete removal contractor will work efficiently to break up the concrete and haul away the debris while ensuring surrounding structures remain safe.
To estimate your concrete removal costs, start by measuring the length and width of the concrete area to calculate the square footage. Then, multiply that number by $2 to $6 per square foot for slabs up to six inches thick. For thicker slabs, you may need to double the cost per square foot. Don't forget to check if disposal fees—around $50 to $100 per ton—are included in your contractor's quote to get a complete estimate.
