Concrete work for King's older and newer homes

In King we work on two kinds of homes. Near the old downtown, houses sit on smaller lots with walks, steps and narrow driveways that have seen a lot of years, and out from the center there are newer houses on bigger lots with long drives and room for a patio. Either way, we get called for driveways that have cracked or sunk, walks that hold water after a rain and front steps pulling away from the porch.

Price here turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete comes out and how much digging and packing the ground needs, and the schedule turns on any permit and the weather on pour day, so your estimate is where you get your own figure. It's the same work we do from Winston-Salem to Oak Ridge, but a sloped yard or ground that was never packed changes the base work on these lots more than anything else.

What we pour for homes in King

Most homeowners in King call us about driveways and walks that have settled or cracked, patios that hold water and steps that need rebuilding. Builders call us for slabs, footings and foundations, and for concrete floor installation in garages, basements and additions. Here's the full list of what we do.

Two counties and older houses shape the work here

King sits in two counties. Most people here live in the southwest part of Stokes County, and a growing number live in the northwest corner of Forsyth County, so which county you're in depends on where in King you live. For a concrete job that mostly matters for permits, which is why I find out which office covers your address before we start.

Near downtown, the King Historic District holds houses built from about 1914 into the 1950s, many of them bungalows and Colonial Revival homes. When we take out old walks and steps at houses that age, we usually find thin concrete over little or no packed base, so we dig it out and build the base back up instead of pouring over it, and we set the new work to carry water away from the house.

In King, I come out to look at your job and write the estimate myself, and the concrete isn't ordered until I've checked the base and forms.

Questions from homeowners in King

Here are straight answers to what people in King ask before hiring us. If your question isn't here, call (336) 276-2960 and ask.

Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in King, NC?

The city's Inspections Department is the office that can tell you, because it issues building permits inside King's limits. Its list names work from sheds and decks to garages and houses but doesn't spell out driveways or patios, so we check before we start. When your job needs a permit, we handle the application and line up the inspections.

Who handles permits in the Forsyth County part of King?

Inside King's city limits, the city's own Inspections Department handles permits on the Forsyth County side too. The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division serves the rest of Forsyth County but not the area inside King's limits, so an address just outside the city line may go to the county office instead.

When does a concrete contractor need a license in North Carolina?

A general contractor must be licensed by the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors when the total project cost is $40,000 or more. The board's limited license covers single projects up to $750,000, the intermediate up to $1,500,000 and the unlimited has no dollar cap. We're licensed and insured.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in King, NC?

Your price comes from the estimate I write after seeing the lot, and it lists what's included, like hauling off the old slab, so you can compare it with other quotes. If the budget is tight, cut back on a stamped or decorative finish before you cut the base, because a good finish can't save a bad pour.

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

It can still crack, since concrete does, but the work underneath decides whether that's a hairline or a broken, sunken slab. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a straight place to form, and add rebar, steel that holds the pieces together, where the job needs it.

How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced?

You're off it through the tear-out, the base work and the cure, and curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength, usually takes longest. You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and we'll tell you when yours is ready for each, since thickness and weather change the wait.
