Concrete

Footings and flatwork, reinforced and placed for Iowa winters.

You get concrete sized for what sits on it, poured by the crew building above it.

Scope
Footings for additions, decks and porches, plus patios, sidewalks and short driveways.
What is different
Rebar throughout, and control joints placed so it cracks where we planned.

Questions

Commonly asked

When is the best time of year?

Mid-summer through early fall gives the best cure.

Is there concrete work you will not do?

No basement forms unless they are part of our own addition, and no parking lots.

Will it crack?

All concrete moves, so we control where with joints and steel.
