Concrete Work Shaped by Kettering's Housing

Concrete Contractors Kettering handles residential flatwork in Kettering and the suburbs south and east of Dayton: driveways and drive approaches, back patios, stamped walks and patios, front walks and stoops, garage and shed floors, and the repairs in between.

Why the work here looks the way it does

Kettering was built quickly. Point2Homes' summary of Census survey data puts the median Kettering home at 1961, and 56 percent of homes date from the 1950s or 1960s. A house that age is roughly 55 to 75 years old, and any original concrete still around it has seen every winter since. Salt, frost and the roots of street trees planted with those neighborhoods do most of the damage, so most jobs start with removal and a new base rather than a fresh pour on open ground.

Three things we settle before quoting

What failed. A slab that cracked because its base washed out will crack again if only the top is replaced. We dig enough to find out.

Whose rules apply. In Kettering the sidewalk, curb and drive approach next to your lot are your responsibility, but they sit in the public right-of-way, so City permits and inspections apply. We tell you which parts of your job fall under those rules before work is booked.

Whether it can be saved. Leveling, crack sealing or a resurface can be the right call on a sound slab. When it is not, we explain why instead of selling a patch.

On the day and after

Exterior concrete goes down air-entrained, with the joint layout planned before the pour and the joints cut or tooled on time. When we finish, you get dates: when to walk on it, when to park on it, and when it is ready for a penetrating sealer. Any change to the scope is written and priced before anyone does it.
