Concrete work for homeowners in Concord
Most calls start with something you can see: a driveway cracked through, a patio sunk away from the house, steps pulling loose or water pooling by the garage. I learned the trade on my father's crews around Concord and started this business here in 2017. We're based in Concord and work out into Kannapolis, Harrisburg and many cities around it.
Price comes down to the slab's size, any tear-out, how much work the base needs and the finish, since stamped or colored concrete costs more than a broom finish, the brushed texture that gives shoes and tires grip. The schedule turns on the permit, when there is one, and on curing, the wait before you walk or drive on new concrete. My estimate spells out what's included and what isn't.
Permits here go through two offices. Cabarrus County issues building permits for the whole county and every city in it, and the City of Concord reviews the same application for zoning, so nobody files twice. When your job needs one, we handle the application and scheduling and tell you which office has it. The city says most businesses don't need a city business license, so a contractor without one isn't unusual.
What we pour and build in Concord
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked through, sunk or holds water, we tear it out and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A patio slab for the back of the house, pitched so rain runs away from your foundation, not toward it.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped patterns give the look of stone or brick in one pour, with control joints still cut where they belong.
Concrete sidewalk building
If a front walk has heaved, tilted or turned into a trip hazard, we replace it with an even path.
Garage floor concrete
For a garage floor that's pitted, dusty or cracked, a new slab sloped toward the door so water runs out.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone or a scored pattern, for homeowners who want concrete that looks finished instead of plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a slope is washing into the yard, a poured wall with drainage behind it holds the soil back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for basements, workshops and additions, poured flat and level so flooring goes down right over them.
Concrete pool decks
Around a new or existing pool, a deck with a slip-resistant finish that sheds water away from the edge.
Concrete steps construction
When front steps have cracked, pulled away from the house or rock underfoot, we form and pour new ones.
Slab foundation building
For a house, addition or garage that sits right on the ground, we pack the base and pour the slab.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new homes and additions, poured by a crew that shows up ready when the builder needs it.
Concrete parking lot building
For a shop or rental that needs parking, a slab with rebar, steel rods that keep it together under traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings for decks, porches, additions and walls, dug to firm ground so what sits on them stays put.
Foundation raising
If part of the foundation has dropped and floors slope, I'll tell you whether raising it is worth it.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts for a new doorway in a wall, a plumbing trench or one bad section of slab.

Questions we hear in Concord
Do I need a permit to pour a new driveway or patio in Concord?
It can need one, so check before anyone breaks ground. The city says new construction, additions and alterations typically need a building permit, except very minor changes. I'll tell you at the estimate whether yours does and which office reviews it.
Where do I apply for a permit for a pool deck or detached garage in Concord?
You apply through Cabarrus County, which takes residential permit submissions online and treats a pool, shed or detached garage set apart from the house as accessory work. Anything attached to the house, like a deck or screened porch, goes in as an addition. If we're pouring the slab or deck, we handle that filing for you.
Does a house in a Concord historic district need extra approval for concrete work?
It can. North Union, South Union and Edgewood are historic districts with an overlay, extra rules on top of normal zoning, and a city board of appointed volunteers decides development requests there under the historic district design guidelines. If your house is in one, tell us at the estimate so we can find out what review the job needs before pricing it.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It shouldn't, though no slab is crack-proof. Most sunken slabs sat on dirt raked level instead of dug out and packed, so we pack the subgrade, the ground under the slab, and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned line. If money's tight, trim the finish, not the base, since a bad base means tearing it out.
