Concrete work for Archdale homes

Archdale sits right next to High Point on the Randolph County side. It's one of the cities we work in from our base in Winston-Salem. Most of it is homes on their own lots, with shops and businesses along the main roads.

Houses here range from older homes with their original driveways and walks to newer neighborhoods with attached garages and room out back for a patio. The price of a job here depends on the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out and how much base the ground needs. The schedule depends on permits and on getting dry days to pour. The estimate I write on site lists what's included, like tearing out and hauling off the old concrete. On older lots we often find the old slab was sitting on dirt that was never packed, so I dig into what's underneath before I price the new one.

Concrete work we do around Archdale

Most of our calls in Archdale are for driveways that have cracked or sunk, walks and steps that have pulled loose, and new patios out back. Builders and property owners call us for slabs, footings and foundation installation, where the ground and the forms decide how the work holds up.

Low ground and driveway rules in Archdale

The city's flood rules say flood-prone parts of Archdale flood from time to time. In those areas, fill and new structures count as development that needs a floodplain development permit. That matters if your job means building up a low yard or pouring near wet ground. If your yard sits low, we ask the city about it before any fill comes in.

Driveways have their own rules where they meet the road. On a city-maintained street, the city requires a driveway permit to build a new driveway or widen one. A concrete driveway also needs a zoning permit when it makes a new or wider cut into the street or curb. Along a state-maintained road the city needs no permit, but the NC DOT may require an encroachment agreement, which is its OK for work at the road's edge.

In Archdale, we dig out and pack the ground, set the forms and check where the water runs before a single truck of concrete is ordered.

Archdale concrete questions, answered

Here are the questions Archdale homeowners ask us before a pour. If yours isn't here, call (336) 276-2960 and ask me.

Do I need a city or county permit for concrete work in Archdale?

Most construction in Archdale needs a zoning permit from the city and a building permit from Randolph County's building inspections office. The city's zoning list names patios as outside additions, and driveways follow the street-cut rules above. Before we start, we find out what your job needs, then handle the applications and line up the inspections.

Can I apply for a building permit online in Randolph County?

Yes. The county's online portal lets you apply and pay for permits and schedule inspections. The city says all of its permit types currently carry a $40 fee. When your job needs permits, we handle the applications so you don't have to sort out which office does what.

Does a concrete contractor in North Carolina need a state license?

If your project is valued at $40,000 or more, your general contractor must hold a state license. That rule comes from the state licensing board for general contractors. We're licensed and insured, and I'm glad to go over it when I come out for the estimate.

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

You'll wait longer to drive on it than to walk on it, because concrete keeps gaining strength for days after the pour. That wait is called curing. Driving on it too soon can crack a slab that would have held up. We tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for cars, since the mix and the weather both change the timing.

Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?

Concrete can still crack. Most cracking we see on old driveways comes from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or from joints that were cut late or skipped. We pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on. Then we cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack, on time.

What affects the cost of a concrete driveway or patio in Archdale?

Size and thickness matter most, then how much old concrete comes out, how much base the ground needs, and the finish. A broom finish, the light texture that keeps a slab from getting slick, costs less than stamped work. If the budget is tight, I'd cut the finish first, because the base decides how long the slab lasts.
