Professional Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation in Dormont
Dormont is a compact, densely built inner-ring South Hills borough along Potomac Avenue and the 'T' light rail, full of closely spaced early-1900s homes on small lots. Like its South Hills neighbors it sits over old coal workings, and the tight lots and aging flatwork make access and careful rebuilding the focus here.

We work near Potomac Avenue business district, the 'T' light rail stations, Dormont Park and Pool, West Liberty Avenue edge, and across every Dormont street.
