Driveways, patios and slabs across Kannapolis
Most concrete calls start with something you can see from the curb, a driveway cracked through, a patio holding water or steps pulling away from the house. Usually the trouble is underneath, a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so it settled with the dirt. I learned this trade on my father's crews around Concord, so I know what a lazy base looks like a few years on.
Price comes down to the size, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and whether a truck can reach the forms. The schedule turns on the weather and on curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you park on it. My written estimate lists what's included and what isn't.
We come over from Concord for Kannapolis jobs, the same as we do for Harrisburg, Salisbury and Mooresville. Cabarrus County says areas along its creeks and rivers see localized flooding from time to time, so on a low lot I check where the water runs before we set a form, because a slab that falls toward the house sends rain to your foundation.
Our concrete services in Kannapolis
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked through, sunk at the garage or holds water, we tear it out and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A plain patio off the back door, sloped away from the house so rain doesn't run toward your foundation.
Stamped concrete services
For a patio or walk with the look of stone or brick, minus pavers that shift and sprout weeds.
Concrete sidewalk building
Where a front walk has heaved into a trip hazard, we replace the bad sections or the whole run.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked or sunken garage floor comes out and goes back in, pitched so water runs out the door.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns, for when plain gray isn't the look you want out front.
Concrete retaining walls
If your yard slopes enough that soil washes onto the patio or drive, a poured wall holds it back.
Concrete floor installation
Basement, shop and outbuilding floors poured over a packed base, so they sit flat under shelving and equipment.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool we use a textured finish that grips wet feet and slope the deck so water runs off.
Concrete steps construction
When front steps have pulled away from the house or crumbled at the edges, we form and pour new ones.
Slab foundation building
For an addition, garage or shed, we pour the slab it sits on, with the base dug and packed first.
Foundation installation
New foundation walls and footings for a home, addition or detached garage, poured to the builder's plans.
Concrete parking lot building
For a church, shop or small office lot that's cracked and holding water, we pour thicker slabs built for traffic.
Concrete footings
Decks, porches and additions need footings dug below the soft topsoil, and we pour them ready for inspection.
Foundation raising
If a slab has dropped as the ground settled, we'll tell you whether raising it beats replacing it.
Concrete cutting
We cut doorways, pipe trenches and clean edges where old concrete has to meet new.

Common questions about concrete in Kannapolis
Who issues building permits for concrete work in Kannapolis, NC?
Cabarrus County's Construction Standards office handles building permits and inspections for Kannapolis, even in the parts that lie in Rowan County. The exception is the Rowan ETJ, an area under Rowan County's jurisdiction, where Rowan County Building Inspections handles permits. When one's needed, we file it, schedule inspections and tell you which office up front.
Which City of Kannapolis permits apply to a driveway or patio?
The city takes its own driveway, grading and addition applications online, and its Planning Department reviews residential construction. For a new home, the city's checklist also lists zoning, driveway access and erosion control permits. Those sit apart from the county's building permit, so at the estimate I'll tell you which ones touch your job.
When does a North Carolina concrete job need a general contractor?
North Carolina law counts anyone who bids on or builds a project costing $40,000 or more as a general contractor. So on a large job, ask each bidder where they stand under that rule before you sign. We're licensed and fully insured.
Will a new concrete driveway in Kannapolis crack like my old one?
Any slab can crack, so we work on where it cracks and whether it stays level. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground under the slab, and cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight place to go. If money's tight, cut the fancy finish before the base work.
