Decorative Concrete in Toronto & the GTA: Stamped, Exposed Aggregate, Coloured, Polished & Overlays
Decorative concrete is where a slab stops being infrastructure and starts being finish. We stamp stone, slate, brick and wood-plank patterns, seed exposed aggregate for grip, colour with integral pigment or acid stain, grind and polish to a mirror gloss, and overlay tired slabs instead of tearing them out. Every decorative surface gets a sealer matched to GTA freeze-thaw and UV exposure.
Published rates across this category: $3 to $25 per sq ft installed. Per-unit services are priced separately on each page.

What Customers Say About Our Decorative Concrete Work
Real feedback from Toronto and GTA homeowners on completed concrete work.
"They came out within two hours of my call and gave me a written quote on the spot. Half the contractors wanted to replace my whole driveway, but Best Concrete lifted and resurfaced it for a fraction of the price. Honest and fast."
"Our front porch was crumbling from years of salt. They stitched the cracks, redid the coping, and resurfaced it so it looks new. The pricing was published up front with no surprises."
"We needed a warehouse floor poured on a tight schedule. The crew hit the flatness numbers and the forklifts were running the following week. Fully insured and professional."
"The stamped concrete patio they poured is stunning and still looks great after a Toronto winter. They explained the sealing schedule and honoured the warranty when I had a question."
"Polished the concrete floor in our basement and it transformed the space. Dust was kept to a minimum and they finished in the days they promised."
Decorative Concrete Questions We Get Asked
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Toronto?
Concrete driveways in Toronto run $10 to $16 per sq ft installed, so a typical two-car driveway of about 600 sq ft lands between roughly $6,000 and $9,600. Decorative finishes cost more; resurfacing an existing slab costs less. We publish these rates and quote in writing with no hidden fees.
How much does 1,000 sq ft of concrete cost?
For plain installed concrete at $9 to $16 per sq ft, 1,000 sq ft costs roughly $9,000 to $16,000 depending on the application, thickness, and finish. Commercial flooring is lower per foot; stamped and decorative work is higher. We give an exact published-rate quote after measuring.
Should I repair or replace my concrete driveway?
Often you can repair. About half the driveways called in for replacement can be repaired at roughly 40 percent of the cost through crack repair, lifting, or resurfacing. If the slab is heaved, badly spalled, or sitting on a failed base, replacement is the better long-term choice. We assess and tell you honestly.
How long does concrete take to cure before I can drive on it?
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours and drive on a residential driveway after about 7 days. Full design strength develops over 28 days. We use curing compounds and, in cold weather, Type 30 high-early cement to keep timelines on track.
What is your warranty on concrete repair?
Every installation, including repairs, carries our 2-year workmanship warranty. We are licensed, WSIB-insured, and carry $2M general liability, so the work is backed and covered.
