Concrete company in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh
Bloomfield is narrow row homes on small lots around Liberty Avenue. Jobs here are small and tight: a back slab, a basement patch, a front walk. That is just the kind of work many larger concrete companies won't quote.

Small slabs and patches
A 10 by 12 back slab may be small, but it isn't easy when the only way in is through a narrow gate. We usually bring concrete in by wheelbarrow or a small pump. Mixing a very small amount on site can make sense for a basement trench or a short patch. A short-load fee from the supplier is often part of the price, and we include that up front.
See our slab cost guide for how small jobs are priced.
On row homes, water from one yard quickly becomes a neighbor's problem. A new back slab has to slope to a drain or out toward the alley, never toward a shared wall. Before you pour, find out where your downspouts go, because older Bloomfield homes often tie them into the sewer in ways that have since cracked or clogged. Fixing that first saves you from wet basement walls after the new slab goes down. Next door, Friendship's large Victorian houses date from the 1890s streetcar years, and many were cut into apartments after a 1950s zoning change, so their basement floors are bigger and often patched by many different owners.

Concrete questions from Bloomfield
Will a concrete company take a small job in Bloomfield?
Yes. We pour pads down to about 8x8, which usually run $1,200 to $1,700, and we will include any supplier minimum in your price. Small Bloomfield yards often mean hand carting.
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete slab in my backyard in Bloomfield?
As of 2026, the City of Pittsburgh's PLI list says walks and driveways no more than 30 inches above grade need no building permit, and a parking pad needs zoning approval but no building permit. A patio or other back slab is not named on that list, so confirm with the city before work starts.
How much slope should a concrete patio have in Bloomfield?
About a quarter inch per foot, running away from the house. The 2021 residential code that Pennsylvania enforces in 2026 wants at least 2 percent slope on paving within 10 feet of a foundation; behind a Bloomfield row house, aim it at a drain or the alley, never at a shared wall. Check the current rule with PLI.
Is it cheaper to mix your own concrete for a small Bloomfield job?
For a basement trench or a short patch, often yes, since a tiny truck order comes with a short-load fee. Past that it gets heavy fast: a yard takes about 45 bags of 80 pounds each, while ready-mix runs about $170 to $220 a yard here.
Do you replace basement floors in Friendship, Pittsburgh?
Yes. Friendship is part of our Bloomfield area. Its big Victorian houses often have large basements, and a new floor usually runs $8 to $14 per square foot.
