How We Work on Fort Wayne Concrete

Elite Concrete Contractors Fort Wayne pours and repairs residential concrete across Fort Wayne and the Allen County towns around it: driveways and approaches, patios, stamped surfaces, front walks, yard walks and steps, garage floors and outbuilding slabs, plus leveling and resurfacing for slabs that have sunk or started to flake.

The ground and the weather set the rules here. Wikipedia describes the land around Fort Wayne as flat, left that way by glaciers, with the old Great Black Swamp lake plain to the east. Its climate table puts the average January low near 18 degrees and yearly snowfall around 33 inches. Flat lots shed water slowly, and slow water plus hard freezes is what breaks concrete. So the work we care most about is the work you never see: the stone base, the fall of the slab, the thickness, and the air in the mix.

What you can expect

• We measure first. Every quote starts with a visit, a tape measure and a look at why the old slab failed.
• The price is itemized. Tear-out, base stone, thickness, reinforcement, finish and sealing are listed separately so you can compare bids honestly.
• We sort out the city side. If the job touches the public sidewalk or the drive approach, we tell you which permits apply and whether the City's 50/50 cost-share program is worth a look before you hire anyone, us included.
• Repair when it makes sense. If lifting a sunken panel or resurfacing a sound slab solves the problem, that option goes on the quote too.
• Care notes at the end. You get written dates for walking, driving and sealing, and plain advice for the first winter.
