Do you repair concrete or replace it?
It depends on the condition of the slab and what caused the failure. Surface cracks and minor scaling can often be addressed with repair or resurfacing. Settled slabs, widespread cracking, drainage problems caused by the original installation, or slabs that have lost structural integrity usually call for replacement. We assess both options and give you an honest read on which one makes sense for your situation.
Why does concrete crack in Kansas City?
Most cracking in the KC area comes from a combination of clay-heavy soil movement and freeze-thaw stress. Clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which puts stress on slabs from below. Combined with hard winters and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, concrete that was installed without adequate base preparation or proper joint spacing will typically crack within a few years. The fix is in the prep work before the pour, not in the concrete mix itself.
Do you install commercial concrete?
Yes. We handle commercial concrete for foundations, sitework, parking lots, warehouse and industrial floors, ADA ramps and accessible entries, curbs, and gutters. We work with commercial property owners, developers, and general contractors in Lee's Summit and the surrounding KC metro.
How soon can I use a new concrete driveway after installation?
Most residential driveways can handle foot traffic within 24 hours and light vehicle traffic within 7 days. We recommend waiting the full 28-day cure period before parking heavy vehicles or placing significant loads. Curing time can be affected by temperature and weather, so we'll give you specific guidance based on the conditions at the time of your pour.
Do you handle stamped and decorative concrete?
Yes. Stamped concrete, stained concrete, colored concrete, and other decorative finishes are available for patios, pool decks, entries, and interior slabs. Decorative work requires a solid base and proper finishing conditions — we don't rush decorative pours, and we'll tell you upfront if conditions aren't right for the finish you're looking for.
