About Schenectady Concrete Works
Our Story: Building Schenectady's Foundation
Schenectady Concrete Works has been the community’s go-to for all things concrete since 2005. Based in Schenectady and founded nearly two decades ago with a single truck, we have been building quality into each project since day one. We started as a company committed to giving the Capital Region structural work that can truly hold up to this region’s harsh climate. Today, we are the number one choice in the area for both residential and commercial concrete services. Our expertise is unmatched when it comes to residential and commercial concrete projects due to our knowledge of New York’s soil conditions and weather patterns.
Local Expertise, Lasting Results
Founded by lifelong Schenectady residents, our team understands the regional challenges presented by the unique climatic and soil conditions of this area. The combination of our local knowledge and the knowledge gained from years of experience in the construction industry enables us to develop concrete solutions for our area, which will withstand the extreme demands of the Capital Region’s clay-soil and extreme freeze-thaw cycles. When we say we poured, we mean we engineered a solution that has been designed to provide stability and attractiveness through all seasons of the year.
Our Mission
Schenectady Concrete Works aims to positively affect the built environment of our community through every project we undertake. Our goal is to deliver superior quality in all aspects of our work as well as offer safe service for our clients by utilizing green building products and techniques that will add value and function to the homes and businesses of our neighbors in Schenectady and its neighboring communities.

The Schenectady Concrete Works Difference
We distinguish ourselves by combining high-level engineering with a deep-rooted commitment to our local community. We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach; instead, we refine our methods to meet the specific environmental and architectural needs of the Capital Region.
- Schenectady Climate-Specific Solutions: We make our concrete and methods suitable to the freeze-thaw conditions and temperature swings of Schenectady. Using air entrainment and specific aggregate products, our products will accommodate the expansion and contraction that occurs with freezing temperatures; this will prevent scaling and structural damage typical of standard concrete applications.
- State-of-the-Art Technology: We are committed to investing in the latest advancements in concrete technology to provide the best possible results. With all types of modern technologies, including advanced laser leveling tools and the newest high-performance curing compounds, we have what it takes to create flat surfaces and beautiful decorative finishes.
- Committed to Sustainability: In as many ways as possible, we strive to be environmentally friendly by sourcing materials locally and through the use of pervious concrete. Our goal is to reduce the impact on the environment that our projects cause, improve groundwater recharge, and lower urban heat.
- Locally Focused: As a locally owned company, we are interested in helping grow and beautify Schenectady. Living in the same area that we do business creates an added motivation for us to conduct ourselves with the highest level of customer service and integrity for every neighbor that we serve.
Our Team
We believe that the quality of our projects is a direct reflection of the talent and dedication of our people. Each team member is committed to delivering excellence in every aspect of your concrete project, ensuring that from the first measurement to the final seal, you are working with professionals who take pride in their craft and their community.
- Seasoned Project Managers: Each of our lead project managers will be responsible for overseeing each of our job sites, focusing primarily on time management, safe working practices, and technical correctness. Each lead will manage their assigned crew and materials to keep the project as close to original timelines as possible, given the unpredictability of the NY weather conditions.
- Highly Experienced Concrete Artisans: This is where the “hands-on” concrete artisan comes into play. The concrete finisher has been trained in all aspects of the pour, from ensuring that slabs are poured at perfect levels to creating various stamp patterns and designs. All of our finishers have many years of manual experience and apply this experience to every aspect of the finish.
- Well-Informed Estimators: Our estimating department provides clear and concise estimates, including an explanation of how they arrived at the estimated cost for the project. Each estimate includes the most up-to-date pricing for materials used and also takes into account the requirements of Schenectady’s soils to provide the best value for your money invested in your home improvement project.
- Dedicated Customer Support Staff: We understand that a stress-free home improvement project starts with good communication. Our customer support staff is available to answer any questions you may have about your project, provide you with regular updates on the status of your project, and assist in making sure your overall experience with us is smooth and trouble-free.

Environmental Responsibility
At Schenectady Concrete Works, we’re proud to call Schenectady home. Our company actively supports local initiatives because we believe that a strong foundation for our city goes beyond the concrete we pour. We are deeply invested in the growth and well-being of our neighbors, and we dedicate our time and resources to organizations that make the Capital Region a vibrant place to live and work.
We believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for nearly two decades. Whether we are supporting local commerce or helping to build affordable housing, our involvement is rooted in a desire to see Schenectady thrive. Our current partnerships include:
Annual sponsorship of the Schenectady Greenmarket: Supporting local farmers and artisans to help keep our downtown economy diverse and sustainable.

Community Involvement
We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact. We recognize that our industry has a footprint, and we take proactive steps to ensure that our operations in the Capital Region are as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. By integrating green practices into our daily workflow, we help preserve Schenectady’s natural beauty for future generations while still delivering the high-performance concrete our clients expect.
- Utilizing Recycled Material Wherever Feasible: Our mix designs incorporate recycled aggregate and supplementary cementitious materials, which minimizes the need for virgin raw materials, while maintaining strength.
- Providing Pervious Concrete Products as an Additional Resource to Better Manage Storm-Water: We offer a line of specialty porous concrete products that allow rainwater to seep directly into the earth (not requiring a storm drain), thus minimizing runoff into the Mohawk River and providing an opportunity to recharge groundwater supplies.
- Minimizing Dust Generation at Project Sites: We utilize vacuums to remove airborne particulate matter generated by saws, and we also employ wet cutting methods to further reduce the amount of airborne particulate matter created at project sites.
- Recycling/Disposal of Concrete Waste: All existing concrete removed from the project area will be transported to a concrete recycling facility for processing into reusable crushed product for future use in other construction projects.

We maintain rigorous standards of quality and safety, ensuring that our work meets both state regulations and industry-leading best practices.
