Concrete Work in an Older River City
Huntington is the county seat and largest city of Huntington County, part of the Fort Wayne metro area, and most concrete contractors' work here is on established homes rather than new construction. The city had 17,022 residents and 7,768 housing units at the 2020 census, and its population has stayed between about 16,000 and 17,500 since 1960. By 1849 it already had 150 houses and 700 people. We pour and replace driveways, front steps, walks, patios, stamped concrete and garage floors.
Six historic districts
Huntington has the Drover Town, Hawley Heights, Courthouse Square, North Jefferson Street, Old Plat and Victory Noll-St. Felix Friary historic districts. In neighborhoods like these, front steps, walks and drives are part of how a street looks. When we replace them, we keep the scale, finish and joint spacing in line with the house. A wide, plain broom finish often suits an older facade better than a busy stamped pattern, but we will walk you through the choices.
Older homes, older concrete
With a housing stock this mature, we see the full range of age-related failures. Steps that have settled and tipped. Walks that have heaved around trees. Garage floors broken into several pieces. Thin driveway strips from decades ago that cannot carry today's vehicles. In many cases the best approach is to remove the failed concrete completely and rebuild on a new, compacted base, rather than patching over a problem underneath.
Built on the Wabash
Huntington lies on the Wabash River at the Forks of the Wabash, at about 791 feet, and the Wabash and Erie Canal was built through the county in 1834. River towns need careful drainage planning. We set every slab with a deliberate pitch away from the house and look at how water moves across the yard, especially on lower lots near the river.
The vacancy factor
Wikipedia notes that 11.3 percent of Huntington's housing units were vacant in 2020. Many homes are being bought, fixed up and rented or resold, and replacing broken walks, steps and drives is a common part of that work. We can quote a whole property at once, so you know what each piece will cost before you decide what to do first.

Huntington Questions
Can new steps fit the style of my older Huntington home?
Yes. We match the scale of the original steps and use a finish that suits the house, so the new work looks like it belongs.
Can you quote all the concrete on a rental or flip at once?
Yes. We walk the whole property and price each piece separately so you can decide what to do now and what can wait.
Why do my walks keep heaving?
Tree roots and frost under a thin or poorly drained base are the usual causes. We replace the sections on compacted stone and can adjust the route around large roots.
