About Our Concrete Work
College Station Concrete Contractor Pros handles residential flatwork in College Station, Bryan and nearby Brazos Valley towns. That covers new driveways, backyard patios, stamped finishes, entry walks and side paths, slabs for sheds and shops, and repair of concrete that has cracked, dropped or worn thin.
Two things shape almost every job here. The first is heat: the climate table for College Station on Wikipedia puts average highs above 95 degrees in July and August, and fresh concrete gives up its water quickly in that weather. The second is water: the city averages close to 42 inches of rain a year, and rain that collects under a slab is a leading cause of sunken, cracked concrete.
Our process, step by step
1. Site visit. We walk the area with you, take measurements and note grade, downspouts, roots and the state of any existing concrete. 2. Written price. The quote breaks out tear-out, base, slab depth, steel, finish, sealer and the total. 3. Paperwork. For drive approaches, curb cuts and other right-of-way work in College Station, we apply through the city and book the reinforcement inspection. Elsewhere we check with the town or county. 4. Ground prep. Soft soil comes out and the base is compacted before forms go in. 5. Pour day. Warm-season pours are booked for early morning, and the new slab is kept damp or coated with curing compound. 6. Joints. Control joints are tooled or sawn so shrinkage cracks follow a line we chose. 7. Hand-off. You get dates for foot traffic, cars and the first seal coat.
A change in scope is priced on paper and approved by you before the work changes. If something turns up that a flatwork job will not solve, such as a house foundation that is shifting or a leaking line under the concrete, we say so before you commit to new concrete.
