We specialize in everything concrete. Need that drive way fixed or extended? Sidewalk crumbling? Does the Mrs. want a beautiful stamped patio to entertain guest in the backyard? We have over 30 years experience in the industry and we are fully insured. Call us to schedule your free estimate.
"I’m only giving a one star review because they were able to get us on the schedule quickly. Everett seemed very friendly and honest when he came out to give us a quote to widen our driveway and extend our extension patio so we decided to hire Hastings and Sons. Now with HUGE regret. This is a slimy business. Partial payment was due at the beginning of the job and the remaining was due at the completion of the job. We went ahead and paid the remaining payment without the job being FULLY completed (ignorant on my part) the only thing left to do was saw cut and clean up, we were told someone would back the following morning, here we are 4 days later and no one has showed up to complete the job. Everette and someone named Tim who wasn’t even on the job and told me two jobs were mixed up told me it would be taken care of (yesterday). If concrete is left too long without the control joints being cut it will crack, we are past 96 hours with no saw cuts! Not to mention I told the project manager I wanted our patio to be rounded and it was not, he did a walk through the morning of pouring and talked about the square footage but nothing was staked out so I didn’t even think to bring it up again since I already told him and showed him a picture of what I wanted, he said I should have mentioned that during the walk through. This part I was okay with getting over until it turned into a bigger problem. They left my front yard a mess, there is concrete smeared on our existing patio, concrete on the siding of our house, basement windows, the quality of their work is bad. Sloppy, the extension of the driveway isn’t even. If I could do it all over again I would have hire the contractor who’s price was significantly higher. I would not recommend Hastings and Sons to anyone and will never use them again for future projects. Do yourself a favor and don’t go for the cheapest quote, I know better and still did it. I should have been more thorough when researching the company, their reviews are loads of complaints and they are not on the BBB that’s usually a red flag. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for! Good thing is I was able to stop payment on the second check. They’ll get paid when they actually FINISH the job."

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.
