Many River Ridge homes are ranch houses from past decades with original patios, carports and walks that have worn, stained or settled. CMC's Services repairs and resurfaces slabs that are still sound and replaces the ones that are not.
215+ 5-Star Google Reviews · Licensed & insuredOld concrete in River Ridge can often be resurfaced when the slab is still level and in one piece but the top is worn, pitted or stained. A slab that has sunk, tilted, or split into sections that move independently needs to be replaced, because a new surface layer will crack along the same breaks. CMC's Services checks each slab at a free visit, then recommends repair, resurfacing or a full tear-out. For new work we compact a stone base, add steel, set a slope that drains away from the house, and finish the surface smooth, broom or stamped. River Ridge sits on low ground between the river and the lake, and its larger lots and older ranch homes often have long patios, carports and pool decks poured decades ago. Sorting out which pieces can be saved keeps the project focused and avoids tearing out concrete that still has years left in it.
We also pour new patios, stamped pool decks, driveways and deck footings. We are licensed, insured and local, with more than 10 years of work in Jefferson Parish. The site visit and written quote cost you nothing, and we tell you plainly which slabs are worth saving.
Concrete gives older River Ridge yards a level, low-upkeep surface that stands up to rain, sun and humidity.
Resurfacing puts a fresh, uniform top on a patio or carport that is structurally fine but stained, flaking or patched in mismatched colors. It costs less disruption than a tear-out and can be colored or textured to look like a new pour.
Stamped and textured finishes give pool decks better footing for wet feet than a slick trowel finish. On the bigger lots in River Ridge, a pool deck can run the length of the house, so we pitch it away from the water and the home.
We anchor wood and composite decks to concrete footings and slabs so they do not shift or sag as the ground moves. That includes covered decks, where the roof posts need footings sized for the added weight and wind.
Concrete does not rot or warp. Occasional cleaning and a check for new cracks after a wet season are usually enough. A sealer adds protection against mildew and stains on shaded patios under River Ridge's big trees.
We are a short drive away in Metairie and we know the older homes in this part of the parish.
We would rather resurface a sound slab than sell you a full replacement you do not need. When a slab has failed, we show you why and explain what a new one needs underneath.
Our team has more than 10 years of hands-on projects across Jefferson Parish, including slabs, pool decks, driveways and deck foundations.
We use compacted bases, steel reinforcement and proper joints on new pours, and bonding agents and overlays made for outdoor use when resurfacing.
From the first call to the final walkthrough, you know what we are doing and when. No surprises on price, and no shortcuts on prep.
New pours usually take three to five days depending on weather and size. Resurfacing is often quicker.
We look at your existing concrete, measure the space and listen to what you want. For older slabs we check for sinking, wide cracks and hollow spots to decide between repair, resurfacing and replacement.
We help you pick layout, materials and finish, whether that is a stamped pool deck, a broom-finish driveway or a smooth slab under a new deck. You get the plan and price in writing.
For new work, we prepare the ground, set forms and steel, pour and finish. For resurfacing, we clean and repair the old slab, apply a bonding coat, and lay the new surface in the chosen color and texture.
We let the concrete cure and keep it damp in hot weather. Then we walk the site with you to confirm everything meets your expectations before we wrap up.
These are the jobs River Ridge homeowners call us for most.
Fixing cracks and worn areas on patios, carports and walks that are still level, then adding a new surface layer in smooth, broom or textured finish.
Decorative stamped concrete around new or existing pools, colored and sealed, with a textured finish for safer footing near the water.
New concrete patios sized for weekend gatherings, outdoor dining or a grill, in plain or stamped finishes.
Driveway installation and new sidewalks and walkways poured to stay level, with sealing and finishing available.
Concrete slabs and footings for wood or composite decks, including covered and multi-level decks, so the structure stays level for years.
New or replacement garage floor slabs with reinforcement and optional sealing.

River Ridge runs along Jefferson Hwy next to Harahan, and much of it was built out with ranch homes on lots larger than you find in Metairie or the city. That extra space means bigger patios, longer driveways and more pools, and a lot of that concrete is now decades old. Some of it is still flat and only needs a new top. Some has settled near downspouts or split around tree roots and needs to come out.
The ground here is low and holds water after heavy rain, so slope and base depth matter on every new slab. If your yard stays soggy, consider drainage in River Ridge before the pour. If you are adding a deck on new footings, our River Ridge deck builder page covers that work.

“CMC Services just completed an amazing project covering our entire front of our house including new concrete driveways. The project involved demolition of all existing cement and grass with a new design for two separate driveways instead of the former circular driveway plus the addition of turf and decorative cement squares across the entire front and two new gardens with new pavers. From the moment we received their estimate last fall to the beginning of the project in February, our project manager, Matt was exceptional to work with and maintained communication with us throughout the entire project…”
“Had an issue with a city ordinance that should not exist and CMC made it right by fixing it free of charge! The rest of their work is very clean and exactly how they said it would be! Drainage work was much better and cleaner than expected. Their crew cleans up after themselves and leave no messes behind!”

If the slab is level, mostly in one piece and does not rock or sound hollow when tapped, resurfacing is often an option. If panels have sunk, tilted or separated with wide cracks, the problem is underneath and a new top layer will not last. We check it at a free visit and tell you which applies.
Cost depends on the size of the area, whether old concrete must be removed, the slab thickness and steel, the finish, and site access. Stamped and colored finishes take more labor than broom finish. Resurfacing is usually less work than a full replacement. We give you a written quote after the site visit at no charge.
Yes. Concrete slabs and footings make a stable base for both wood and composite decks. We anchor the framing to the concrete so it does not shift. We also build covered decks on concrete footings sized for the roof load. If you have an existing slab, we check whether it is sound enough first.
Very little. Clean it now and then, and look for new cracks after a wet season so small problems can be sealed early. A sealer every couple of years helps resist mildew, especially on shaded patios. Stamped pool decks should be resealed to keep their color and slip resistance.
Most projects take three to five days, depending on weather and the size of the job. Curing continues after we leave, and we will tell you when it is safe for furniture or vehicles. We plan pours around the forecast and reschedule if heavy rain is expected.
