Concrete Work in Kendallville
Kendallville is a Noble County city north of Fort Wayne, and the concrete contractors who work here split their time between older homes near downtown and newer houses around the edges. The city was founded in 1849 and named for Amos Kendall, the eighth U.S. Postmaster General. It had 10,271 residents at the 2020 census and 4,452 housing units. Its biggest jump came in the 1990s, when the population went from 7,773 to 9,616. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, walks and steps, and garage slabs, and we repair concrete that has given out.
Downtown and the older streets
The Kendallville Downtown Historic District is on the National Register, and the blocks around it hold many older homes. On these streets, front steps and walks are part of the house's character. They are also the concrete most likely to be worn: steps that have tipped, treads with broken edges, and walks with sections that have lifted. We replace failed pieces and match the finish of the old work so the new concrete does not stand out once it weathers.
1990s neighborhoods coming due
The homes built during the 1990s boom are now about 25 to 35 years old, and so is their flatwork. Driveways from that era often show scaling where salt and slush sat, cracks at the apron and settling near the garage. Back patios may have tipped toward the house. When the base is still sound, section replacement can work; when it is not, we recommend a full replacement with a new compacted stone base.
Higher ground and lakes
Kendallville sits at about 988 feet, the highest of the towns we serve, and about 0.22 square miles of the city is water, including Bixler Lake, home of the city's Fourth of July fireworks. Homes near the water often have yards that slope toward it. A patio there should drain toward the yard, not toward the house, and it may need a thickened edge or a step where the ground drops. We shoot grades during the estimate so the design fits the lot.
Built for winter
The region sees long freezes and plenty of snow. Air-entrained concrete, closely spaced control joints, and a good base are standard on everything we pour outdoors. We also talk with you about sealing and gentler de-icers so a new driveway or walk keeps a clean surface. Call (260) 300-8234 to book a visit anywhere in Kendallville or Wayne Township.

Kendallville Questions
My 1990s driveway is flaking on the surface. What happened?
That is scaling, usually caused by freeze-thaw cycles combined with de-icing salt. Light scaling can sometimes be sealed; heavy scaling across the drive usually means replacement.
Can you pour a patio on a lot that slopes toward the lake?
Yes. We set the patio to drain toward the yard, and add a thickened edge or a step where the ground falls away.
Do you work on older homes downtown?
Yes. We replace walks, steps and stoops on older homes and match the finish to the house.
