Concrete contractor for Oak Ridge homes and lots
Oak Ridge sits in Guilford County, northwest of Greensboro, and it still has the feel of the farm country it grew out of. On our jobs here we see newer subdivisions next to older homes on bigger lots, driveways that run a long way back from the road, and plenty of houses on a well and septic system instead of public water.
It's much the same up the road in Stokesdale. Out here the job starts with where a slab can sit clear of the septic field, how close the concrete truck can get, and where the water goes once the ground is covered.
What we pour for Oak Ridge homes
On Oak Ridge lots, the calls we get most are new and replacement driveways, patios off the back of the house, walks and steps to the door, and concrete pool decks that need to shed water away from the pool and the house. Everything we do here is listed below.

How Oak Ridge ground and water shape the job
The Town of Oak Ridge is running a water line down NC 150 and Linville Road, and it reports that other homes can expect to connect to community wells over time. If a new line could cross your yard, tell us at the estimate, because leaving a path for it now beats cutting through a new driveway later.
Lots here often slope, so where the water runs decides how we grade the ground under the slab. Price turns on how much dirt comes out, whether an old slab has to go, and the size, thickness and finish, and your estimate lists what's included so you can compare it with other quotes. Weather and any permit set the schedule. If the budget's tight, cut the finish, not the base, because the base decides whether the slab settles.
I come out to look at your job myself, and I check the base and forms before any concrete is ordered.

Questions Oak Ridge homeowners ask us
Here's what Oak Ridge homeowners ask most before a pour. If your question isn't here, call (336) 276-2960 and ask me directly.
Who issues permits for concrete work at my Oak Ridge home?
Guilford County Inspections issues permits and does inspections for Oak Ridge by agreement with the Town. The county doubles permit fees if work starts before a permit is issued, so when your job needs one, we handle the application, wait for it to come through and line up the inspections.
Does my Oak Ridge addition or new build need Town clearance first?
Yes. The Town has to issue development clearance before you can apply for a building permit for new construction or an addition, and the county says to get it before applying for any permit. If your slab, footings or foundation are part of that work, we plan the schedule around that first step.
When does a general contractor need a license in North Carolina?
The NC Licensing Board for General Contractors says a general contractor must be licensed by law when the total project cost is $40,000 or more. The rule turns on the cost of the whole project, not one part of it. We're licensed and insured.
Does a well or septic system add approvals for concrete work in Oak Ridge?
It can, because Guilford County's permit guidance says a home on a well or septic system may need separate permits or approvals from the Environmental Health Department. Tell us at the estimate if you're on either, so we can plan for that step before anything is scheduled.
Will my new driveway crack like the old one did?
It can still crack, but we work to control where and to keep it from sinking. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along. Most sunken driveways I see started with a base raked level, not packed.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Not until it has cured, which is the wait while the concrete gains strength, and you'll be walking on it well before you can park on it. Weather changes that wait, so I'll go over it for your slab and the time of year when I write the estimate.
