About Concrete Contractors Gastonia

Concrete Contractors Gastonia handles residential flatwork in Gastonia and across Gaston County. That means new and replacement driveways, back patios, stamped and colored surfaces, front walks and side paths, pads and slabs for outbuildings, and fixes for concrete that has cracked or dropped.

The ground we build on

Three things about this part of the Piedmont drive most of our decisions. The land rolls, so plenty of yards tilt toward the house or the street. The subsoil across much of the region is red clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. And the weather swings from humid 90-degree afternoons to January nights near freezing, with roughly 44 inches of rain spread through the year. Concrete that ignores any one of those tends to crack early.

Our order of operations

1. Look first. We come out, measure, and study grade, runoff, roots and where a ready-mix truck can park. 2. Price it on paper. The quote names the slab depth, the stone base, the steel, the surface finish and the joint layout, with one total. 3. Sort out the street. When work reaches the curb inside Gastonia, we ask the city's Engineering Division what the apron and right-of-way rules require for your address. 4. Build from the bottom. Old concrete is broken out and hauled away, the soil is compacted, and crushed stone goes down in compacted lifts. 5. Pour on a good day. We pick pour times around storms and summer heat. 6. Hand it over. You get dates for foot traffic, cars and sealing.

Scope changes never happen on a handshake. If something new turns up once the old slab is out, we write it down and wait for your okay.

Sometimes the concrete is a symptom. Water running under the house or a foundation that is moving will keep breaking any slab beside it, and we say so before you pay for surface work.
