Garage floor concrete work we take on
New garage slab
A new floor poured on dug-out, packed ground for a new garage or an addition, with the thickness set by the vehicles you plan to park.
Tearing out an old floor
When the old floor has sunk, cracked through or broken up, we break it out, haul it off, fix the ground underneath and pour a new slab.
How do I get a new concrete garage floor in Wichita Falls?
Garage floor concrete is a slab that rests right on the ground under your garage, built to carry the weight of the vehicles you park on it. Ironset Wichita Falls Concrete pours new and replacement garage floors in Wichita Falls, TX, and we work in Burkburnett, Iowa Park and other cities in the area.
Most calls start with a floor that has sunk at one corner, cracked across the middle or started chipping and turning dusty, and some come from a new garage that needs its first slab. The price turns mostly on the size of the garage, how thick the floor has to be for what you park, how much work the ground needs and whether an old slab comes out first, since tearing one out adds to the cost. The schedule turns on checking for a permit, getting the ground ready and curing, the wait while new concrete hardens before it can take weight. My estimate lists what your job includes, so you know what you're paying for before you decide.
Garage floor concrete and the base beneath
I start with the ground under your garage and ask whether any fill was brought in, then ask what you park there, because those two answers decide most of what the floor needs.
Digging out the base
We dig out loose dirt and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, so the floor doesn't sink as soft soil settles.
Holding back a hillside
If the garage sits cut into a hill, concrete retaining walls hold the dirt beside it back from the new floor.
Forms and steel
We set forms at the thickness your vehicles need and lay rebar, the steel inside the slab that holds pieces together if it cracks.
Pouring and finishing
We pour before midday heat so the top doesn't dry weak and dusty, then trowel it smooth or add color through decorative concrete.
Cutting the joints
We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a chosen place to crack, soon after the pour so cracks follow our lines.
Why homeowners hire Ironset in Wichita Falls
I wrote concrete quotes for contractors before I learned the work on a finishing crew, so I know how easy it is to pay for a floor without knowing what's in it. Every estimate I write spells out what's included and what isn't.
The owner comes out and checks in
I come out to look at your garage and write the estimate myself, and I check in with our crew while they form, pour and finish your floor.
In business since 2013
We've been in business since 2013, and I'd still rather spend extra time on the ground and the plan than hurry a pour that's hard to undo.

Garage floor questions we hear most
How much does a concrete garage floor cost in Wichita Falls?
A concrete slab in Wichita Falls usually costs about $6 to $11 per square foot, not counting staining or stamping. That's what the work generally runs in the area, not our quote, and your floor's size, thickness and ground work decide where yours lands. My estimate lists each part so you can see what you're paying for.
How thick should a concrete garage floor be for a truck?
Garage slabs belong at the thicker end of the standard range for home floors in Wichita Falls, and a floor that carries heavy vehicles needs that thicker end. Tell me what you drive and anything heavy you plan to park, and the estimate will show the thickness we've planned for it.
Will my new garage floor crack?
Some cracking is normal on every slab, even with the best design and careful building, and any contractor should tell you that before you sign. Wire mesh tends to keep cracks from opening up, though it won't prevent them, and the control joints we cut give cracks a planned line to follow.
How long does a new garage floor take before I can park on it?
A new slab should be walkable within 48 hours and takes 28 to 30 days to fully cure, and to be safe you may want to wait a week before heavy vehicles go on it. We'll go over that wait with you before the pour, so you can plan where to park in the meantime.
What causes a concrete garage floor to sink and crack?
Weak ground under the slab is usually the cause, because a slab on poor ground is far more likely to fail no matter what steel goes inside it. Fill brought in during the last several years may still be settling, so tell me if any went under your garage. The base is buried on day one, which makes it the first thing people want to trim from the budget, and it's the last thing I'd trim.
How do I compare estimates for a new garage floor?
Compare how each contractor plans to prepare the ground before you compare steel or price, since no amount of reinforcement makes up for a poor base. It's also fair to ask how far apart the joints will be, because a concrete industry association recommends a maximum spacing tied to slab thickness. I'm glad to walk you through ours when I come out.
Other concrete work around the garage
Decorative concrete
If a plain gray floor isn't what you want, color, stain or a polished look can make the garage feel like part of the house.

When the yard rises beside the garage or driveway, a wall holds the soil in place so it doesn't creep or wash onto the concrete.

If the driveway leading to the garage has sunk or cracked too, replacing it gives your car a solid path from the street to the floor.

Garage floor concrete on Wichita Falls clay
Construction work in the city has to follow city codes with the right permits and licenses, and Wichita Falls Building Inspections is the office that issues those permits. Whether your garage floor needs one is something we confirm 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. The same office licenses and registers contractors, so you're welcome to call it at 940.761.7459 and check on anyone you're thinking of hiring, us included.
Much of the ground here is shrink-swell clay, the kind that swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries, and it limits building houses without basements on 30% of the mapped land inside city limits. Wichita County's main soil is rated High for shrink-swell, which is why I spend time on the ground before anyone talks about steel. We meet the same clay on garage jobs in Burkburnett and Iowa Park, and we prepare the base there the same way.
