Serving Wilkes-Barre, PA and surrounding areas. (272) 447-0191
Wilkes-Barre Concrete is a concrete contractor serving Pittston, PA. We build sidewalks, driveways, steps, and foundations for homeowners throughout the city, including in Pittston's older coal-era neighborhoods where the housing stock needs a crew that knows what it is doing.
We have been serving Wyoming Valley homeowners since 2024. Every job gets a free written estimate and a response within one business day.
Every service below is shaped by what Pittston homes actually need - not a generic list copied from somewhere else.
Pittston requires property owners to maintain the sidewalks in front of their homes, and the city can cite homeowners for cracked or raised slabs that create a hazard. Many of the original sidewalks in Pittston's older neighborhoods have been through a century of freeze-thaw cycles and need full replacement. We build concrete sidewalks to current city grade and slope requirements so you stay compliant and your block looks right.
Pittston homes often sit on small in-town lots with short, tight driveways that see heavy wear from road salt tracked in from city streets. A new concrete driveway poured to the right thickness over a compacted base handles the Wyoming Valley's freeze-thaw winters without cracking apart within a few years.
Pittston's brick row houses and coal-era two-stories commonly have front steps that are 80 to 100 years old and are showing it - with crumbled edges, settling treads, and gaps where the base has washed out. New concrete steps with a non-slip broom finish eliminate a real safety hazard and change the whole look of the front of your house.
New construction and additions in Pittston need foundations that account for the local soil conditions and the flood risk near the Susquehanna River. We install poured concrete foundations built to current code and designed for the specific demands of this part of Luzerne County.
Hillside streets above the Pittston city center deal with soil erosion and slope movement, especially after heavy spring rains. A properly engineered concrete retaining wall holds the grade and protects your yard from washing out in a way that timber or block walls simply cannot match over the long term.
Many Pittston homes were built before outdoor living spaces were standard, leaving owners with small or nonexistent backyards. A concrete patio makes the most of whatever outdoor space you have, holds up through Wyoming Valley summers and winters, and does not need the maintenance that wood decking requires.
Pittston grew fast during the anthracite coal mining era, and most of its homes were built between the late 1800s and the mid-1900s. That means a large share of the city's housing stock is 80 to 130 years old. Original concrete work from that era - front walks, steps, and early driveways - has been through generations of Pennsylvania winters. The freeze-thaw cycles here are relentless: temperatures regularly swing above and below 32 degrees from December through March, cracking any surface that holds moisture and lacks enough thickness or a properly prepared base beneath it.
Pittston also sits along the Susquehanna River, which has caused serious flooding problems over the years. The 1972 Hurricane Agnes flood damaged thousands of homes in the Wyoming Valley, and flood risk remains a real concern for properties near the river and in lower-lying neighborhoods. Homes in those areas can have drainage problems, saturated soil near foundations, and concrete surfaces that have been repeatedly stressed by water intrusion. Working in Pittston means knowing which parts of the city carry that risk and adjusting the approach accordingly.
Our crew works throughout Pittston regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The city's row houses and attached homes sit on tight lots with limited side-yard access, which shapes how we stage equipment and materials for every job. We are accustomed to working in the same compact conditions that Pittston contractors have always dealt with in these dense, close-built neighborhoods.
Pittston's identity is rooted in its Italian-American heritage and its coal mining history - landmarks like City Hall on William Street and the neighborhoods surrounding Main Street anchor the city's character. The streets closest to downtown tend to have the oldest housing stock and the most original concrete work that has never been replaced. Out on the hillside streets above the city, lots open up slightly and the drainage picture changes. We know the difference between working on those two parts of town.
We serve all of Pittston and the areas nearby. Homeowners in Scranton, PA to the north and Wilkes-Barre, PA to the south can also reach us for the same concrete services and response times.
We respond to all estimate requests within one business day. You will talk with someone who can answer questions about your project and schedule a site visit at a time that works for you.
We come to your property, look at the existing conditions, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. There is no obligation, and the estimate covers the full scope so there are no surprises later.
If your project requires a city permit - which sidewalk and driveway work in Pittston often does - we handle the paperwork. We then schedule the work and let you know exactly what to expect on the days we are on-site.
After the concrete is placed and finished, we clean up the site and walk you through the curing timeline - typically about seven days before the surface can handle vehicle traffic. We do not leave until the work is done right.
We serve homeowners throughout Pittston, PA - from the older row houses near downtown to the hillside streets above the city. Call or fill out the form and we will get back to you within one business day.
(272) 447-0191Pittston is a small city in Luzerne County with a population of roughly 7,700 people. It sits along the western bank of the Susquehanna River, and its character is shaped by the anthracite coal mining history that built it. Most of the housing stock consists of brick row houses and attached two-story homes dating from the late 1800s through the 1940s, packed onto narrow in-town lots. The neighborhoods closest to Main Street and City Hall are the densest, with the oldest homes and the most original concrete work still in service.
Pittston's Italian-American heritage is celebrated each year at the Pittston Tomato Festival, which draws thousands of visitors to the downtown streets. The community has a strong sense of local identity and a high share of long-term homeowners who have lived in the same houses for decades. Many of those homes need concrete work that a contractor unfamiliar with the area would not recognize as normal for the age and style of these properties. Neighboring Nanticoke, PA to the southwest shares many of the same coal-era housing characteristics and is also within our regular service area.
