Concrete work in Wichita Falls, our home city
I started this business in Wichita Falls in 2013, and most of our calls here still come from homeowners, along with business owners who need a lot, a floor or a foundation. On the older streets we're often taking out a driveway or a front walk that has settled, cracked or started holding water against the house, while in the newer subdivisions it's more often a first patio, an extra parking pad or a garage floor. We do the same work in Burkburnett and Iowa Park, and in other cities in the area.
Older house or newer, the ground decides most of the job. A slab is only as steady as its subgrade, the soil it rests on, so we dig it out and pack it instead of raking it level, and we check where the water runs before a form goes in. How long you're off a new driveway or patio depends mostly on curing, the wait while the concrete hardens enough to carry feet and then tires.
Concrete services in Wichita Falls
Concrete driveway building
On older Wichita Falls homes, the original driveway has often settled or cracked, so we take it out, rebuild the base and pour a new one.

We pour backyard patios sloped away from the house, so rain runs off into the yard instead of pooling at your back door.

Stamped concrete has a pattern pressed into the top while it's still wet, and it suits front walks and patios on newer streets.

Older front walks often lift at one panel where roots or soft ground pushed up, so we replace the broken sections cleanly.

A garage floor carries your car every day, so we pour it with rebar, the steel inside that keeps cracks from spreading apart.

Colored and textured finishes suit a front entry or a spot where the family gathers, and we explain how each one wears before you choose.

Where a yard drops toward the street or a neighbor's lot, a concrete retaining wall holds the soil in place and keeps it from washing out.

We pour interior floors for shops, additions and commercial spaces, finished smooth or left ready for the covering you plan to put down.

Around a pool, the deck needs a finish that grips wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the edge.

Entry steps on older homes tend to pull away from the porch over the years, so we form and pour new ones with even risers.

For new houses and additions on Wichita Falls lots, we build the slab foundation on a dug-out, packed base before any framing starts.

When a garage, shop or addition needs its own foundation, we lay it out to your plans and look over the site before we dig.

Business owners in Wichita Falls call us for parking lots that drain to the right spot and hold up under daily traffic.

Footings carry the weight of a wall, a porch or a post, so we pour them to the plans before anything is built on top.

If part of a slab has sunk and left a gap or a trip edge, we find out why it moved before we raise it.

We saw-cut openings, remove damaged sections and cut control joints, the straight lines that tell a slab where to crack.

What Wichita Falls homes ask of concrete
I spent my first years in this trade writing concrete quotes, so I know how easy it is to pay for something you can't see. That's why I come out to every job myself, and why your estimate lists what's included and the reason for it.
The owner writes every estimate
I come out to look at the ground and the drainage myself, and then our crew does the forming, pouring and finishing while I check in along the way.
The base comes before the finish
If the budget has to give somewhere, I'd rather keep the dug-out, packed base and choose a plainer top, because a fancy finish over loose dirt cracks like any other slab.
Permits checked before we form
We check with the city office where your job is before we start, and when a permit is needed we handle the application and paperwork for you.

Concrete questions from Wichita Falls homeowners
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Wichita Falls?
The price depends mostly on the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out and how much work the ground needs before we pour. A thicker slab, more rebar, a longer approach or a stamped or colored finish adds to it, while a plain broom finish, the light texture that gives shoes and tires some grip, keeps it down. Your estimate lists each of those items so you can see what you're paying for.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Wichita Falls?
The city's Building Inspections division issues permits for construction work in Wichita Falls and inspects it, and construction in the city has to follow City Codes with the correct permits and licenses. Whether your driveway or patio needs one is a question for that office, which you can reach at 940.761.7459 on weekdays. We check with the city before we start, and when a permit is needed we handle the application and paperwork for you.
How do I check that a concrete contractor is licensed in Wichita Falls?
Ask the same Building Inspections office, because it licenses and registers the contractors who work in the city. We're fully licensed and insured, and I'm glad to answer any questions about it when I come out for the estimate.
When does a carport need a conditional use permit in Wichita Falls?
A carport needs a conditional use permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission when it sits within the first 5 feet of the property line or the side exterior line. Outside that strip, the city allows carports in the front setback, the area along the front of the lot where building is limited, or in the exterior side setback on a corner lot. If you want a slab under a new carport, we'll talk through where it sits before we form anything.
Who enforces deed restrictions on a driveway or patio in Wichita Falls?
Deed restrictions are enforced privately through the courts, not by the city. They're generally filed with the county under your subdivision's name, so it's worth reading yours before you widen a driveway or add a patio, and we'll plan the slab around what they say.
What causes a new concrete driveway to crack like the old one?
Most cracks come from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, water running under the slab, a pour in the heat of midday or control joints cut late or skipped. Any slab can still crack, but we pack the base, check where the water runs, time the pour and cut the joints, so a crack that does show up falls in a line we chose.
