Concrete work for Lexington homes
Lexington is a short drive south of us, and the calls we get there look a lot like the ones from High Point and Walkertown. Homeowners want a cracked driveway replaced, a patio poured out back, or front steps rebuilt where they've pulled away from the porch. Builders and property owners call us about slabs and footings for new work.
A lot of the older concrete we tear out here sank because it sat on loose dirt, so on most Lexington jobs the real work happens before the truck shows up.
What we pour for Lexington homes
Most Lexington calls are for replacing a tired driveway, walk or set of steps, or pouring a new patio out back. We also do decorative concrete when you want color or texture on a patio or walk, and we pour slabs, footings and foundations for builders and property owners.

What the ground decides on a Lexington job
Most of what fails on a slab usually started under it. When the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, was only raked level, the concrete settles right along with it, and a slab that falls toward the house sends water at your foundation. So we dig out, pack the base and set the slope before anything else. If the budget has to give, I'll cut finish before base, because a good finish can't save a bad pour.
Price mostly comes down to what's there now and what's under it: tearing out and hauling old concrete, how much base work the ground needs, and the size, thickness and finish of the new slab. The schedule turns on that same prep and on curing, the wait while the concrete hardens enough to take feet and then cars. Your estimate spells out what's included.
In Lexington you get the same careful prep we're known for in Winston-Salem, with the base and forms checked before any concrete is ordered.

Lexington concrete questions
These are the questions Lexington homeowners ask us most. If yours isn't here, call (336) 276-2960 and ask me directly.
Do I need a city permit for concrete work in Lexington, NC?
Some concrete work does, and we find out before we start, since the office that covers your address decides. The City of Lexington's Business & Community Development department issues permits for building improvements to structures and requires them before that work begins. When your job needs one, we handle the application and line up the inspections.
Who do I contact about a building permit in Lexington NC?
The city's Building Permits service takes project questions at (336) 248-3900 or BuildingPermits@LexingtonNC.gov. City Hall is at 28 West Center Street, open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. The same department also helps applicants with zoning permits and Certificates of Appropriateness.
Why do concrete driveway quotes in Lexington vary so much?
Quotes usually differ in what's left out more than in the concrete itself. One price might skip tearing out and hauling the old slab, or skimp on digging out and packing the base, which is the first thing to get cut and the first thing you'll regret. Ours lists what's included so you can compare line by line.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
A new slab can still crack, but the base and the joints decide where and how much. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the concrete a planned line to crack along, and on a packed base the slab has far less reason to move. Old slabs usually cracked because one of those was skipped.
How long will I be without my driveway after new concrete is poured?
You're off it until it has cured, and you can walk on it well before you can drive on it. Tearing out the old driveway and preparing the base come first, so the full stretch depends on what we find. We'll tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for your car.
Do you take concrete jobs in Lexington if you're based in Winston-Salem?
Yes, we work across the cities around Winston-Salem, Lexington included. I come out myself to look at the job and write the estimate, our crew lead runs the work with our finishers, and I check the base and forms before the concrete is ordered.
