Concrete work for Pelham properties

Pelham Concrete pours, raises and cuts concrete for homes and businesses in Pelham, from cracked, sinking slabs to a new driveway or foundation. Price turns on size, access and how much base work the ground needs, and the schedule turns on prep, permits and weather. My written quote lists what's included.

  • Concrete driveway with pale slabs and dark geometric bands leading to a tiled-roof home amid tropical landscaping.

    Concrete driveway building

    A cracked, sinking driveway usually sat on a weak base, so we dig out and pack the ground before pouring a slab that sheds water.

  • Stamped concrete patio with mottled rectangular patterns beside a screened porch and enclosed yard.

    Concrete patio construction

    For a backyard patio, we check where the rain runs first, so the new slab falls away from your house instead of pooling by the back door.

  • Stamped concrete patio with a light stone pattern extends along a brick house, partly shaded by the roof.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete gives a patio or walkway the look of stone or brick, pressed into the surface while it's still soft and colored to suit your house.

  • Textured gray concrete sidewalk with broad steps runs through mulched garden beds toward a house.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    Heaved or broken sidewalk sections trip people up, so we pull them out and pour new walks with control joints, cut grooves that tell cracks where to run.

  • Concrete patio beneath a covered outdoor kitchen, with lounge chairs, a built-in grill, and seating area.

    Garage floor concrete

    Garage floors carry cars, tools and heavy shelving, so we pour them thick enough for the load, with a smooth finish that's easy to sweep clean.

  • Decorative concrete walkway and steps with a speckled finish outside a brick home, bordered by a black railing and garden bed.

    Decorative concrete

    When plain gray isn't the look you want, decorative concrete adds color, scored patterns or exposed stone to patios, walks and entries without giving up strength.

  • Curved stamped concrete patio with a dark gray stone pattern runs beside a house and landscaped garden.

    Concrete retaining walls

    On sloped lots, a concrete retaining wall holds back soil, with a footing under it and drainage behind it so water doesn't push it over.

  • Decorative concrete patio with two turquoise chairs, a patterned cushion, and irregular tan stone-like sections.

    Concrete floor installation

    Basements, shops and additions need a flat, level floor, so our crew sets the grade, places the steel and finishes the slab ready for whatever goes on top.

    Learn more
  • Concrete pool deck of large tan rectangular sections curving alongside a blue swimming pool.

    Concrete pool decks

    Around a pool, the deck has to drain away from the water and give bare, wet feet some grip, so the finish texture matters.

    Learn more
  • Concrete front steps with black metal railings leading to the entrance of a white brick row house.

    Concrete steps construction

    Crumbling or uneven steps catch toes every day, so we form and pour new ones with even step heights and a solid landing at the door.

    Learn more
  • New rectangular concrete patio beside a brick house, with clean expansion joints and a lawn border.

    Slab foundation building

    Building a house, garage or shop on a slab? We prepare and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, then pour the slab with steel inside.

    Learn more
  • Decorative concrete driveway with red brick borders and a herringbone brick apron leading to a garage.

    Foundation installation

    For new construction and additions, we lay out, form and pour the foundation the builder's plans call for, so the framing starts on something square and level.

    Learn more
  • Stamped concrete patio with large irregular stone-pattern sections surrounding a circular fire pit and chairs.

    Concrete parking lot building

    Business owners call us when a lot is cracked, holding water or too small, and we pour heavy-duty slabs graded so rain runs to the drains.

    Learn more
  • Stamped concrete patio with a light gray rectangular stone pattern, dark border, and black steps beside a house.

    Concrete footings

    Decks, porches, walls and additions sit on footings, concrete set below ground to carry the weight, so we dig and pour them to the plans.

    Learn more
  • Covered patio with a light gray stamped-concrete surface and curved reddish-brown steps beside a stone retaining wall.

    Foundation raising

    If a slab or foundation has dropped, leaving cracks or a lip at the door, we can often lift it back toward level instead of tearing it out.

    Learn more
  • Aerial view of a large industrial warehouse with surrounding concrete parking lots, roads and loading bays.

    Concrete cutting

    Saw-cutting opens a doorway in a concrete wall, a trench through a slab or a clean edge around a damaged section, without breaking up the rest.

Why people call Pelham Concrete

I ran the schedule for a busy concrete company before I started this one in 2017, so our jobs follow a plan you can see, and I'll answer your questions along the way. You can read more about us and how we work.

About us

  • Every step laid out early

    You get each step in order, from digging out to cleanup, with the pour date set once the steps before it are lined up.

  • One person prices and answers

    I come out to look at the job myself, so the person who writes your quote is the same one you call with questions.

  • The base gets the time

    Concrete is hard to undo, so we spend our time on the dug-out, packed base you'll never see, not just the finish you will.

  • Date changes come from us

    If weather or another step moves your pour date, you hear it from us with the new plan, not from a crew that never shows.

Look through these examples of driveways, patios, steps and walls to get a feel for finishes and layouts before we talk about your project.

Questions we hear about concrete

Don't see your question here? Call (205) 651-8545 or send us a message, and I'll give you a plain answer.

How much does a concrete driveway or patio cost in Pelham, AL?

The price depends mostly on the size of the slab, how much digging and base work the ground needs, how easy it is to get the truck in and the finish you pick. I measure on site and send a written quote with your figure, and the estimate is free.

What adds to the cost of a concrete slab?

Soft ground that needs more base, old concrete that has to be broken out and hauled off, thicker slabs for heavier loads and decorative finishes all add cost. In Pelham, a permit fee, when one applies, is based on the square footage of the work. The base is the last thing I'd cut, because you won't see it on day one, but it's what keeps the slab from settling.

How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

You can usually walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it has to cure, slowly hardening and gaining strength, before it can take a car's weight. I'll give you the dates for your slab at the pour, since the mix and the conditions that week change them.

Is Pelham Concrete licensed and insured?

Yes, we're fully licensed and insured. The City of Pelham also requires a business license for any company working inside city limits, so it's a fair thing to ask any contractor you're considering.

Who issues building permits in Pelham, AL?

The Building Department, part of the city's Development Services, issues building permits in Pelham and inspects residential and commercial construction inside city limits. When your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with that office, and if it isn't clear whether one's needed, we check with them before we start.

What do you do before the concrete truck shows up?

We dig out to firm ground, pack the base, set the forms and place rebar, the steel that holds the slab together, then check that water will run away from the house. If the job needs an inspection, the city inspects on weekday mornings and early afternoons, so we set the pour around it.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?

All concrete can crack, but we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give cracks a straight, planned place to run, and we pack the base so the slab doesn't settle and break. A lot of the cracked slabs we see were poured on dirt that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or had joints cut late or skipped.

Does Pelham Concrete guarantee its work?

Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Your written quote spells out what's included, so we both know what the finished job should look like before we start.
