Our Expertise

Having served Boston and the greater metropolitan area for almost twenty years, we have developed extensive knowledge in several areas:

  • Concrete Solutions For Residential and Commercial Projects: With a full range of structural possibilities that can be adapted to anything from personal residential improvement projects to multi-million dollar industrial projects, we offer an array of options to suit your needs.
  • Decorative Concrete Techniques: We take ordinary surfaces and create artful focal points by employing advanced stamping, staining, and polishing techniques.
  • Concrete Repair and Restoration: From aging to damaged structures, we restore them to extend the life span of each structure while enhancing the appearance and safety of each structure.
  • Custom Weather-Resistant Formulations of Concrete to the Harsh Climate of New England: We design custom mix formulas to endure the intense freeze-thaw conditions and high amounts of road salt usage prevalent during the New England winter months.
  • Historical Concrete Restoration For Boston Landmarks: When restoring historic buildings, we exercise extreme caution when employing our special techniques to maintain the original architectural integrity of Boston’s most celebrated historic sites.

Our Commitment to Quality

Boston Concrete Works’ commitment to quality is the foundation for everything we do as a company and is reflected through the following areas of excellence:

  • Premium Materials: We utilize top-of-the-line materials provided by trusted suppliers for all projects. We will not cut corners when it comes to the type of cement or aggregate used in a particular batch, as this ensures the concrete will have the strength and longevity to last a lifetime.
  • Comprehensive Quality Control: We implement a comprehensive quality control program throughout every project we complete. Whether it is site preparation, setting up the forms, or applying a seal to the finished product, our on-site supervisors inspect multiple points during these stages to identify and correct any small issues that may arise before they become large problems.
  • Adherence to Industry Standards: We adhere to and frequently exceed the industry standards for construction. Instead of simply meeting local building codes, we incorporate state-of-the-art engineering techniques into our construction methods to ensure that our completed products provide superior performance regarding durability and safety compared to other standard products on the market.
  • Satisfaction Guarantee: Lastly, we offer a total satisfaction guarantee on all of our completed work. We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction with every pour and finish. If there is an issue with your project, we promise to respond quickly to resolve the problem so that you can be satisfied with the end result of your project.

Our Approach

For each project we complete, we work together, clearly communicate, and give you what you need:

  • Collaborative Consultation: You share your thoughts and needs, and we offer you advice as an expert so that we can both be sure about what is needed from your property and what common goals you want us to achieve.
  • Concrete Custom Design: We develop a customized solution based on your budget and vision. Our experts will design a detailed plan to show how aesthetically pleasing and structurally functional your project will be.
  • Ongoing Clear Communication: As we work on your project, we make sure to keep you updated at all times. At each stage of the process, we will provide you with information about the timeline of the project, the current status, etc. So, there won’t be any surprise, and we’ll answer any questions you have in “real-time.”
  • Detailed Precise Execution: With precision, our experienced team creates your concrete project, using careful attention to details, and by strictly adhering to the specs, and using professional equipment, we guarantee that the result will meet our high standards for longevity.
  • Future Maintenance Support: After completing your project, we assist you with the proper care and maintenance of your new installation, and we are always here to help if you need additional assistance or guidance.

Community Involvement

Boston Concrete Works is a proud member of the Boston Community. In addition to being a member of this community, we are actively involved in local programs such as:

  • Historic Preservation Alliance Projects: Participation in annual preservation alliance projects that preserve and restore historical buildings. As an industry leader in the field of concrete construction, we can contribute our expertise to the preservation and restoration of the historic buildings that give our city its skyline.
  • Youth Sports Sponsorships: Sponsorship of local youth sports teams. We believe that by investing in the youth through sponsoring their sports teams, it can provide them with the tools they need to participate in safe and organized athletic events, which will develop the youth into individuals who are proud of their communities and the values they hold.
  • Educational Internship Partnerships: In collaboration with the Wentworth Institute of Technology’s Civil Engineering Program, we provide internship opportunities to students who are interested in pursuing a career in civil engineering. This partnership allows us to provide these students with real-world experience in modern concrete applications and also allows us to mentor future engineers.
  • Habitat for Humanity Volunteering: As part of its commitment to the local community, we volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Boston. Our employees and management volunteer regularly to assist in building safe, affordable housing for low-income families within the local neighborhoods of Boston. Additionally, we have been generous in donating materials and labor to support Habitat for Humanity of Greater Boston.

Environmental Responsibility

In a way to be environmentally friendly, we are working to lower the amount of damage we do to the Earth by using:

  • Eco-Friendly Mixes for Our Concrete: We use recycled and sustainable materials such as fly ash and slag that have less of a carbon footprint than regular concrete but still give us the strength we need.
  • Concrete Recycling: When we remove old concrete from the jobsite, it gets crushed up and reused as good-quality base material on new construction sites instead of going to a landfill.
  • Water Saving Methods Throughout Our Processes: Our crews use specialized equipment and follow efficient washing procedures at all stages of the process, including mixing, pouring, and finishing, to save as much water as possible.
  • Porous Concrete Options to Improve the Way We Handle Stormwater: This type of porous paving lets rain seep through the top layer of the pavement and down into the soil below, so there will be less runoff and help recharge the local aquifers.
