What is different about concrete work in Grand Blanc
- Wide driveways and aprons. Two- and three-car garages mean a lot of square footage right at the garage door, which is also where salt drips off the cars. Ask about a sealer for that area in particular.
- Homeowner associations. Many subdivisions have deed restrictions or an association that must approve a wider driveway, a new patio or a colored or stamped finish. Get the approval in writing before the forms go in.
- Sump and downspout discharge. Water that runs across a driveway all winter turns to ice and wears the surface. A replacement is the time to run that pipe underneath.
- Neighbors replacing at the same time. When two or three houses on a street book together, the contractor saves on travel and setup. It is worth asking whether that lowers the price.
City or township?
There are two Grand Blancs. The City of Grand Blanc is the smaller area around the center, and its streets belong to the city. The much larger Grand Blanc Township surrounds it, and its public roads are maintained by the Genesee County Road Commission.
Who to call about the approach: in the city, the City of Grand Blanc. In the township, the Genesee County Road Commission. For patios, sheds and anything on your own lot, the building department of whichever one you live in. See driveway permits in Genesee County.
Streets inside some condominium and private-road developments belong to the association, not the county. In that case the association sets the rules for the approach.
