Sugar House Concrete Contractor — Salt Lake City, Utah
Transform your Sugar House property with Dirty Boys Concrete — an award-winning concrete contractor serving the Sugar House neighborhood and surrounding Salt Lake City communities since 2009. Sugar House is one of Salt Lake City’s most distinctive and desirable neighborhoods — a mix of century-old Craftsman bungalows, mid-century homes, and newer infill development that creates a uniquely diverse concrete market. From aging driveways on original 1920s properties to new patio additions on recently renovated homes, we bring the same commercial-grade standards to every Sugar House project.
Sugar House’s mature neighborhood character, tree-lined streets, and tight urban lots create specific challenges for concrete work — established root systems, limited equipment access, and neighbors in close proximity all require an experienced crew who can work efficiently and respectfully in an urban residential setting. Our team has extensive experience navigating exactly these conditions throughout Salt Lake City’s established neighborhoods. We are proud recipients of the Best of SLC award in 2024 and 2025, the Best of Riverton award in 2025 and 2026, Best of State Nominee 2025 and 2026, and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Concrete Driveways
Concrete Driveways in Sugar House
Sugar House has a high concentration of original concrete driveways that date back decades — many installed before commercial-grade mix designs were standard practice and before the importance of proper subgrade preparation was well understood. These driveways show the predictable results of that era: widespread surface scaling, significant cracking, and in many cases differential settlement from tree root intrusion and inadequate base material.
Replacing a Sugar House driveway requires more planning than a standard suburban replacement. Mature street trees and their root systems, narrow city lots with limited staging space, and proximity to neighboring properties all require experienced coordination. We address these challenges routinely — protecting existing trees where possible, coordinating with Salt Lake City permit requirements, and delivering a finished driveway that matches the character of the neighborhood. Our commercial grade 6-bag 4000 PSI air-entrained mix with superplasticizers and water reducers is built to outlast the driveway it replaces. Driveways start at $6,000.

Stamped & Colored Concrete Patios
Sugar House’s distinctive homes — particularly its Craftsman bungalows and brick Tudor Revival properties — provide a wonderful architectural backdrop for custom stamped concrete patios. The neighborhood’s mature landscaping and character-rich streetscapes call for patio designs that complement rather than compete with existing features. We specialize in concrete patios that feel at home in Sugar House’s aesthetic — natural flagstone and cobblestone patterns that echo the neighborhood’s historic character, as well as cleaner modern geometric designs for recently renovated properties.
Sugar House’s urban lot sizes mean patio design often requires creative thinking about space, drainage, and access. We work with the specific constraints of each Sugar House property to maximize usable outdoor space while ensuring proper drainage away from foundations — a critical consideration in Salt Lake City’s older housing stock. Over 100 stamp and color combinations available. Patios start at $8 per square foot. All patio installations include proper subgrade prep, control joints, curing compound, and penetrating sealer.

Concrete Repair
Sugar House’s older concrete is among the most commonly repaired in Salt Lake City. Decades of freeze-thaw cycling, tree root intrusion, and in many cases the use of road salt tracked in from adjacent city streets have taken a significant toll on the neighborhood’s concrete infrastructure. We assess every Sugar House repair situation honestly — evaluating whether the damage is cosmetic, structural, or the result of ongoing root or soil movement that repair cannot permanently resolve.
Tree root intrusion is a particularly common issue in Sugar House — the neighborhood’s beloved mature trees are also a source of significant concrete displacement. When roots are involved we evaluate the situation carefully: sometimes root pruning and proper concrete replacement can coexist with tree preservation, and sometimes the root system makes permanent concrete repair impossible without addressing the tree. We give Sugar House homeowners the honest assessment they need to make an informed decision — not a quick patch that fails within a season.

Concrete Stairs & Steps
Concrete stairs are one of the most requested services in Sugar House and across Salt Lake City’s older neighborhoods. Many of the neighborhood’s original front entry steps — brick, stone, and early concrete — have reached or passed their service life. Replacing aging steps with modern concrete stairs dramatically improves both the safety and the curb appeal of Sugar House properties.
We specialize in modern floating concrete stairs — a contemporary design element that has become increasingly popular in Sugar House’s renovated and infill properties. Clean cantilevered steps that appear to float provide a striking architectural statement that complements both historic and contemporary home styles. We also install traditional formed concrete entry stairs, side yard steps, and custom retaining wall steps throughout Sugar House. All stair installations include proper rebar reinforcement, formed risers for clean sight lines, and your choice of broom, stamped, or exposed aggregate finish.

Concrete Sealing & Decorative Finishes
Sugar House’s older concrete infrastructure — much of it decades old — benefits enormously from professional sealing. A penetrating silane-siloxane sealer applied to existing concrete dramatically extends service life by preventing water infiltration and freeze-thaw damage. For Sugar House homeowners looking to improve the appearance of existing concrete without full replacement, stained and decorative concrete finishes offer a cost-effective transformation.
We apply acid stains, color washes, and decorative surface treatments to existing concrete throughout Sugar House — transforming aged gray slabs into distinctive surfaces that complement the neighborhood’s aesthetic character. We are certified applicators for Davis Colors, NewLook, and Elite Crete decorative concrete systems. We also apply acrylic sealers to stamped concrete patios and driveways. Contact us for a free consultation on the best sealing and decorative options for your specific Sugar House property.
