Concrete Work That Respects Your Business

If you run a shop, an office or a rental building, cracked concrete is more than an eyesore. It is a tripping hazard at the front door, a dumpster pad that is breaking apart under the garbage truck, or a slab behind the building that holds water every time it rains. Fixing it should not mean closing for a day or fielding complaints from tenants. We work with business owners, landlords and property managers to replace entry walks, pour dumpster and mechanical pads, and redo courtyard and walkway slabs at apartment and mixed-use buildings. Before we schedule anything, we talk about your hours, your entrances and when deliveries and trash pickup happen. Long walks can be done in sections so one door always stays open, and barricades go up around anything curing. Trash enclosure slabs are poured heavier, with more rebar, since the garbage truck drops its full weight right there. The same gravel base, slope and control joints that go into our home driveways go into every commercial slab. Blue Island has plenty of storefronts along Western Avenue and older two-flats and courtyard buildings throughout town, and we are comfortable working in tight spaces with people coming and going around us.

Commercial Work We Handle

Concrete for businesses and rental properties of all sizes.

  • Entry walks

    Front and side walks replaced in phases so customers can still get in.

  • Dumpster pads

    Thick, steel-reinforced pads that stand up to heavy trucks.

  • Rooftop unit and generator pads

    Dead-flat bases so condensers and backup power sit square.

  • Apartment and courtyard slabs

    Walkways and common-area slabs at multi-unit buildings.

  • Removal

    Crumbling slabs broken out and trucked away before the new pour.

  • Work around your schedule

    Pours timed around your hours, deliveries and tenants.

How a Commercial Job Goes

  1. Walk us through the property

    Which slabs are failing, where foot traffic flows and your rush hours.

  2. Written price and phasing plan

    We tour the site and come back with a number on paper plus a calendar of closures, section by section.

  3. Pour in stages and clean up

    Sections removed and poured in order, barricaded while they cure and cleaned up as we go.
