Retaining Walls & Masonry questions
Who actually does the work?▸
Concrete Commander is a division of Kenney Construction — the same licensed, insured, and bonded company (VA DPOR #2705187519) handles the work, not a subcontracted third party.
What areas do you serve?▸
Herndon, Reston, Great Falls, McLean, Vienna, Ashburn, Sterling, Aldie, Oakton, Chantilly, Centreville, and South Riding, Virginia.
What are your hours?▸
Monday – Saturday, 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM.
Do you provide written estimates?▸
Yes — every project gets a written scope so you know what's included before work starts.
How long does new concrete need to cure before it can be used?▸
Concrete typically reaches enough strength for foot traffic within a few days, but full cure takes about a month. We'll walk you through the specific timeline for your project.
What's the difference between stamped concrete and regular concrete?▸
Stamped concrete is textured and colored while still wet to mimic stone, brick, or other materials — it costs more than plain concrete but gives a decorative finish without the cost of natural materials.
Can a cracked driveway be repaired instead of replaced?▸
Sometimes — small cracks and surface damage can often be repaired. Widespread cracking, sinking, or drainage issues usually mean the slab needs to be replaced.
How do I request a concrete estimate?▸
Call (703) 731-9208 or submit the online estimate form and we'll follow up to schedule a time.
