Concrete work across Montgomery, AL
Montgomery is where we're based, and most calls here come from homeowners looking at a driveway that's cracked, sunk at one corner or holding water by the garage. We see older houses with decades-old walks and patched slabs, newer subdivisions where the builder's concrete is starting to show its age, and small business lots that need parking and sidewalks. We do the same work in Millbrook, Prattville and Pike Road.
Your price moves with the size of the job, how much old concrete comes out, how deep we dig for a firm base and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit check for your address and on curing, the wait while fresh concrete hardens before you use it. I measure, look at the ground and talk through how you'll use the slab before I write up your figure. On these lots most trouble starts underneath, so we plan the base before we talk about the surface.
What we pour in Montgomery
Most driveway calls here start with a crack or a sunken corner, so we tear out the old slab and pour new on a packed base.
Plenty of Montgomery houses have a small slab off the back door. We pour patios sized for how you use the yard and sloped away from the house.
Stamped concrete presses a stone or brick pattern into the fresh slab, a good fit for a front walk or patio where plain gray looks out of place.
On older Montgomery lots where roots have lifted a walk into a trip hazard, we replace the bad sections and cut joints so cracking follows a planned line.
Older detached garages around Montgomery often sit on tilted, cracked floors. We pour a new one with rebar, steel inside that holds the slab together under car weight.
Colored, stained or exposed-stone finishes suit a Montgomery front entry or shop frontage, and we talk through samples so you know the look before the pour.
Where a Montgomery yard drops toward the street, a concrete retaining wall holds the soil back, and we give water a way out behind it.
Property owners here call us for shop and addition floors, poured flat and level because a floor that's off shows the day shelving goes in.
Backyard pools in Montgomery need a deck that stays grippy when wet, so we use a textured finish and slope it so water runs off the walking area.
Front steps on older Montgomery houses often pull away from the porch as they settle, so we pour new ones on solid footing with even rises.
A new shop, garage or addition on a Montgomery lot starts with the slab, so we dig out, pack the ground and pour it level for the framers.
For additions and outbuildings on Montgomery properties that need more than a slab, we lay out and pour the foundation to the plans and schedule around any inspections.
Small business owners in Montgomery call us for parking areas, which we build on a deeper packed base because delivery trucks and daily traffic find any weak spot.
Around Montgomery, carports, porch posts and block walls need concrete footings, the buried pads that spread the weight into firm ground below the soft topsoil.
When a corner of a Montgomery house or slab has sunk, we find out why underneath before we raise it, so the fix deals with the ground too.
Widening a driveway for a second car is a common Montgomery request, so we saw-cut a clean edge instead of breaking out sound concrete you can keep.
What Montgomery ground asks of a slab
I come out to every estimate, and I'm on site while our crew does the work. Here's what you can count on from us on a Montgomery job, start to finish.
Owner at your estimate
I come out myself to look at the ground, and I'm on site running our crew when we pour.
Base packed before finish
We dig out and pack the subgrade, what the slab sits on, because a fine finish on loose dirt sinks with it.
Slope that sends water away
We check where rain runs on your lot and slope the slab away so water doesn't pool by the house.
Joints cut on time
We cut control joints, grooves that steer cracks into a straight line, before the slab has time to crack on its own.
Licensed, insured and guaranteed
We're fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind every pour with satisfaction guaranteed.
Questions we hear in Montgomery
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or patio in Montgomery?
Maybe, and we check for your address before we start, since the city's permit rules are written for building, altering or repairing buildings and structures. The city's Inspection Department issues those permits, and city guidance asks owners to send a permit application to the building official. If your job needs one, we pull it and plan the pour around any inspections.
Does digging out for a new slab need a grading permit in Montgomery?
It does if the digging, filling or clearing covers more than 3,500 square feet or goes deeper than 24 inches, because the city requires a grading permit for that much disturbed ground. The same goes for work that's part of a larger development. A large parking area or a cut into a slope is where we usually see a job get close to that line, and I'll flag it at the estimate.
How do I know if the city or the county handles permits for my address near Montgomery?
Montgomery County's permit rule covers your address only if it sits outside the police jurisdictions of the City of Montgomery and the Town of Pike Road, and the city's reaches 3 miles past its city limit line. Out in the county, Montgomery County requires a building permit before construction starts on any structure over 200 square feet. We sort out which office covers your address before any work begins.
Who licenses concrete contractors for home work in Alabama?
The Home Builders Licensure Board licenses and regulates residential construction and remodeling in Alabama, and the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors licenses general contractors. That second board's new licensing exemptions took effect October 1, 2026, and its notice lists them. Inside the city, business licenses come from the License and Revenue Division, and the home builders board lists a valid written contract among its licensees' duties, so ask for one from anyone you hire.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Montgomery?
I price every Montgomery driveway after I've measured it and seen the ground, because tear-out and base work change more from lot to lot than the concrete itself. A broom finish, lightly brushed so tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamped or colored work. If the budget has to give, I'd trim the finish before the base, because nobody sees the base on day one but it's what keeps the slab from sinking.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on a new driveway well before you can drive on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength for days while it cures. Driving on it early is how a lot of corners crack and edges chip. I'll give you the walk-on and drive-on dates for your pour at the estimate, so you know how long you'll be parking on the street.
