Concrete work for Clemmons homes and lots

Clemmons is right next door to Winston-Salem, so it's a short drive for our crew and the same kind of work we do at home. Homeowners here call us about driveways that have cracked or sunk, patios that hold water after a rain and front steps pulling away from the porch, and builders call us for slabs and footings on new lots.

You'll see older brick ranches on bigger lots and newer subdivisions with sloped yards, the same mix we find over in Lewisville and down in Lexington. Most of that ground is clay that holds water, so where the water runs and how well the dirt is packed matter more than the finish.

Concrete services we offer in Clemmons

In Clemmons, most of our work is replacing old driveways and walks that have cracked or settled, pouring new patios out back and rebuilding steps. We also pour garage floor concrete when an old floor is pitted or sinking, and slabs and footings for builders. The full list is below.

What Clemmons ground and water mean for your slab

Most yards here are clay, and clay that's just raked level instead of dug out and packed settles and takes the slab with it. That base work is hidden the day we pour, so it's the first thing people want to cut, and it's the last thing I'll cut. Price turns on size, tear-out and haul-off, base work and finish, and the schedule turns on permits and weather. Your estimate lists what's included.

Water is the other thing the Village of Clemmons watches. It requires a stormwater permit for every development or redevelopment site, issued once the site meets its rules, and comments from one past project review called for grading permits on larger disturbed areas and floodplain permits on land under flood rules. I check which apply to your address before we start, and either way we slope the slab so water runs away from your house.

In Clemmons, I come out myself, check the ground and the forms before any concrete is ordered, and tell you plainly what your job needs.

Clemmons concrete questions, answered

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

Who issues building permits for concrete work in Clemmons, NC?

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division handles building permits and inspections for Clemmons, and it takes questions at 336-727-2624. The Village issues its own driveway, sign and stormwater permits. Before we start, I find out which office covers your job so nothing gets held up.

Do I need a permit to build or replace a driveway in Clemmons?

Yes, the Village requires a driveway permit before you build a new driveway or rebuild an existing one. It costs $40 for a new driveway and $20 for a rebuild. When your job needs a permit, we handle the application so the pour isn't held up.

Which building code applies to concrete work in Clemmons right now?

The state fire marshal's office reports that work is still built and inspected under the 2018 North Carolina Building Code. That code stays in force until the 2024 code's effective date is set, unless an owner or agent asks for the 2024 code. We build slabs, footings and steps to whichever code your permit falls under.

Does my Clemmons house on a septic tank need health department approval?

Yes, on a job that needs a permit, the division's permit checklists call for approval from the Forsyth County Health Department when the lot is on a septic tank. You can reach the health department at 336-703-3225. We also mark the tank and drain lines before setting forms so we don't pour over them.

Does a concrete contractor need a license in North Carolina?

A general contractor needs a state license when the total project is valued at $40,000 or more, under the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors. On a job that size, ask for the license and check it with the board. We're licensed and insured, and it's a fair thing to ask anyone you call.

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

Concrete shrinks as it cures, so a few hairline cracks are normal, but control joints, grooves we cut on purpose, give it a place to crack in a straight line. Most bad cracking starts underneath, in a base that settled or water running under the slab, so that's where we put our time.

How long will I be without my driveway after the pour?

You stay off it while the concrete cures, which is the wait while it hardens and gains strength, and you can walk on it well before you can drive on it. Heat, cold, rain and any tear-out before the pour all change that wait, so I'll give you the days for your job at the estimate.
