Residential and commercial concrete across Dane, Rock, Columbia & Jefferson Counties. Every estimate is given on site, after someone has looked at the ground. Call (000) 000-0000 if you don't see what you need.
New driveway pours, full replacements, extensions and widening across Dane County. Four inches of compacted base under the slab, five to six inches of concrete where vehicles actually park, and saw-cut joints laid out to the garage door and the approach rather than wherever the saw started. Work touching the driveway approach or the terrace goes through City Engineering first.
Backyard patios, replacements and custom shapes sized to the door they serve and the grade they sit on. Slope is set away from the house before anyone talks about a finish, and joints are cut to panel edges instead of falling across the middle of the seating area. Broom, exposed aggregate and integral color are all on the table.
Stamped patios, driveways and walkways in ashlar slate, random stone, cobblestone and wood plank patterns. The joint layout gets planned against the stamp pattern before the pour, because a control joint running through the middle of a fake flagstone is the tell that gives the whole thing away. Integral color or color hardener with release, then a sealer on a real resealing interval.
Residential sidewalks, garden paths and front walks, plus replacement of cracked or heaved sections. Terrace walk replacement has to grade to the neighboring square and goes through the City of Madison right-of-way process, which is a different job from a private path running from the driveway to the back gate.
Front entry steps, porch and patio steps, and replacement of stairs that have settled or spalled. Steps carry a footing requirement that flatwork does not — Wisconsin's code puts footings below frost penetration or at least 48 inches down, whichever is deeper, which is why a set of steps that pulled away from the house rarely gets fixed by patching.
Shed and outbuilding slabs, home addition slabs, hot tub and generator pads, and reinforced slabs for heavier loads. Thickness, reinforcement and base depth get set by what is going on top of the slab, not by a default. Newer subdivision lots on backfilled clay get compaction in lifts before anything is formed.
New garage floor pours, replacement of cracked or sunken floors, and reinforced slabs for detached garages and shops. Interior slabs get a vapor barrier and a slope to the overhead door so meltwater off a car leaves rather than pools. Broom or steel-troweled finish depending on whether a coating is going down later.
Footings, foundation walls and slab-on-grade foundations for new builds, home additions, garages and outbuildings. Footings go below frost penetration or 48 inches, whichever is deeper, and never bear on frozen material. This is new foundation work — not underpinning, piering or repair of a foundation that is already failing.
Crack repair, spalled and scaled surfaces, and honest assessment of driveways, patios and walks that may be past repairing. Scaling from de-icing salt and a structural crack running the full slab depth are different problems with different answers, and one of those answers is replacement.
Overlays and surface restoration for concrete that is worn on top but structurally sound underneath. An overlay is only as good as what it bonds to, so a slab that is moving, delaminated or cracked through its depth gets called out as a replacement instead of covered over.
Integral color, color hardener, exposed aggregate, salt finish, and borders or bands that break up a large slab. This is the broader decorative category — stamping has its own page. Color choice is the part everyone has an opinion about; the base and the joint layout decide how long the color lasts.
Tear-out and haul-away of driveways, patios, sidewalks and slabs, with replacement pours where that is the plan. Removal is where the subgrade finally gets looked at — a slab that failed twice on the same ground usually failed because of what is under it, not what was on top.
Flatwork, pads, aprons and site concrete for retail, office, industrial and multi-family properties across Dane, Rock, Columbia and Jefferson Counties. Commercial work is scheduled around the tenant's hours as much as the weather, and phasing so a business keeps its entrance open is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Warehouse floors, industrial slabs, machinery and equipment pads, and slabs for new commercial construction. Flatness and levelness get specified up front when racking or a forklift is involved, and joint layout gets drawn against the column grid rather than left to the saw crew.
New concrete parking lots, replacement of failed sections, loading and delivery areas, and heavy-duty pavement for truck traffic. ACI's parking lot guidance caps unreinforced joint spacing at about 30 times the slab thickness and 15 feet, which is the difference between a lot that cracks on the joints and one that cracks everywhere else.
Business and retail sidewalks, apartment and multi-family walkways, entryways, and removal and replacement of failed sections. Accessibility-related work — ramps, landings, cross-slope, detectable warnings — is discussed as scope to specify with your design team, not assumed.
Crack repair, joint repair, spalled parking lot panels, warehouse and industrial floor repair, and selective removal and replacement of the sections that are actually gone. On a commercial property the question is usually which panels to replace this year and which can wait, and that answer should come with reasoning.
Footings, foundation walls and structural concrete for commercial new construction and additions. Formwork, reinforcement placement and pour sequencing get planned against the engineer's drawings. This is new construction scope — not remediation of a foundation that is already moving.
