What Tony Handles in Shorewood
Shorewood's homes is mostly newer construction - 2000s through present - which means the driveway replacement wave hasn't fully hit yet, but it's coming. The most common Shorewood requests are:
Patio and flatwork installations. Newer Shorewood homes with larger lots frequently need backyard concrete added
- the house was built without a patio
or with a minimal slab that the homeowner now wants to expand. Tony handles new patio pours, stamped concrete upgrades, and backyard flatwork additions.
Driveway assessment and replacement. Shorewood's first generation of subdivision construction is hitting 15–20 years old. Driveways poured at minimal spec in the 2000s are starting to show surface deterioration and joint cracking. Tony gives a straight assessment on whether the right call is repair, section replacement, or full pour.
Stamped concrete. Popular in Shorewood for the same reasons as Plainfield - newer suburban homes where homeowners want outdoor living space that matches the quality of the interior.
Walkway and approach work. Front walkways heaved by Illinois frost, approach sections at the garage that have separated and started to trip-hazard level.

"Driveway had been cracking since the last bad winter and I kept patching it. Finally replaced the whole thing with Tony. He explained before we started exactly why the patches keep failing — wrong base depth on the original pour, and the cracks were going to keep coming back regardless of what went on top. Took two days, clean work, no debris left behind. Should have done it two years ago."

Shorewood Concrete — Frequently Asked Questions
My Shorewood house was built in 2006 and the driveway is starting to crack. Is that normal?
Unfortunately common. Builder-grade concrete poured at the lower end of the thickness range with standard (non-air-entrained) mix starts showing freeze-thaw damage between 15 and 20 years in Will County conditions. If you're seeing cracks at the control joints, surface spalling, or sections starting to heave slightly, the driveway is telling you what's coming. Tony can give you a repair-vs-replace assessment at the estimate.
Can you add a patio to a Shorewood home that doesn't have one?
Yes. New patio installations — from simple broom-finish slabs to full stamped concrete with color and pattern — are a regular Shorewood request. Newer homes with larger lots that were built without a patio slab are a natural fit. Tony handles design, pour, and finish himself. Call (815) 605-5859 for a free estimate.
