Driveways, patios and slabs for Salisbury homes
Calls about concrete usually start with something you can see: a driveway cracked clean through, a patio sinking away from the house, steps that rock, or water pooling where it shouldn't. Most of the time the cause is underneath, a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled right along with the dirt.
Price moves with the size of the area, how much concrete comes out, how much digging the base needs, the thickness and the finish. If the budget's tight, I'll tell you to put it into the base before a fancy finish, because a bad base means tearing the slab out later. Weather, any permit and curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens, set the schedule, and my written estimate covers your job.
We're based in Concord, and Salisbury is one of the cities we work in, along with Kannapolis, Mooresville and Mint Hill. The same crew pours in each of them, so what you read here is how we'd do your job. If your city isn't on our list, call and ask.
What we pour in Salisbury
Concrete driveway building
If your driveway has cracked through or sunk, we tear it out, rebuild the base and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A patio that slopes slightly away from the house, so rain runs off instead of pooling by your door.
Stamped concrete services
For a patio or walk that looks like stone or brick, stamped into the concrete while it's still soft.
Concrete sidewalk building
Where a walk has heaved or broken into a trip hazard, we replace those sections with a brushed, grippy finish.
Garage floor concrete
A cracked, dusting or uneven garage floor gets a new slab that's flat enough to park and work on.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed stone and saw-cut patterns for homeowners who want more than plain gray on a patio or entry.
Concrete retaining walls
If a slope keeps washing into your yard, a poured wall holds the dirt back where you want it.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for basements, shops and additions, poured level so flooring or equipment sits flat on top.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks need grip underfoot and a slope that carries splash water away, and we build in both.
Concrete steps construction
Steps that crack, rock or pull away from the porch get replaced, with every step poured the same height.
Slab foundation building
For an addition or garage built on a slab, we pack the ground it sits on before we pour.
Foundation installation
When a builder or homeowner needs a crew that shows up ready, we form and pour foundations to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
Small lots for shops, churches and rental properties, poured thick enough for the traffic they'll carry.
Concrete footings
Footings for decks, porches, walls and additions, the buried concrete that keeps what's on top from settling.
Foundation raising
If a slab or foundation has sunk, we'll tell you straight whether raising it is worth the money.
Concrete cutting
For a new opening, a trench or a damaged section, we saw-cut clean edges instead of hammering it out.

Common questions about concrete in Salisbury
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
Concrete can still crack, but we work to keep cracks small and in places we choose. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, set rebar, steel that holds the pieces together, where the slab calls for it, and cut control joints, grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along.
Do I need a permit for concrete work on my Salisbury home?
It can need one, and the office that decides is Rowan County, which issues building permits in Salisbury, including for building construction and repair, and also handles plan review and inspections. When a job needs a permit, we handle the application and scheduling with the county, or point you to the right office if you'd rather check yourself.
How long does a Rowan County building permit stay valid?
A county permit expires six months after it's issued if work hasn't started. If work stops for 12 months after it starts, the permit expires right away, and no work can be done until it's reinstated.
What is the $10 fee on a residential permit in Rowan County?
It's North Carolina's Homeowners Recovery Fund fee, charged on residential permits. The fund is meant as a last resort for homeowners trying to recover losses caused by dishonest or incompetent general contractors.
How does a contractor get a general contractor license in North Carolina?
They apply to the state's licensing board for general contractors, now online, and before the exam they must be at least 18 and show financial responsibility, among other steps. The residential class covers general contractors who build only homes, and trades with their own state board fall outside the general contractor license.
