Concrete & Foundations
Foundations, driveways, sidewalks and retaining walls, poured to stand up to prairie weather and real use.
Concrete is what we've done for over ten years. Most of the concrete that fails early didn't fail at the surface. It failed underneath, where the prep was rushed or skipped. We do the part nobody sees properly, because that's the part that decides whether the job lasts five years or fifty. The quote is free, and you deal with one crew from the first call to the last pour.
Everything you build sits on the foundation, so we treat it like the rest of the project depends on it, because it does. We get the excavation and base right, set the forms square and level, place the rebar properly, and pour a mix matched to the load and the conditions. A foundation that's out of level at the bottom causes problems for the whole life of the building.

Common questions
How thick should my concrete be?
It depends on what's going on it. A home garage and a shop that parks loaded trucks need different slabs. We spec each pour for the site.
When can you pour?
The warm months are easiest and the calendar fills up fast, so it pays to book early. We can pour in colder weather too, with the right heat and precautions.
Will it crack?
No slab is guaranteed crack-free. Proper base prep, the right mix and control joints keep cracking down to hairlines you'll never notice instead of breaks that matter.
Do you do the building too?
Yes. Steel-frame and pre-cast concrete buildings.
