Concrete work for Provo homes

Provo sits right against Orem's south edge, so it's some of the closest work we do from our base in Orem. Our Provo calls come from homeowners in established neighborhoods with older walks, driveways and steps, from people in newer houses toward the edges of the city, and from owners of small rentals and duplexes. We do the same kind of work up in Lindon and south of Provo in Springville.

Older houses tend to have concrete that's had years to shift, and newer ones sometimes have a slab that went in fast on loose fill. So what we find under the old slab usually shapes the job more than the age of the house does.

What we pour and fix in Provo

What Provo houses ask of new concrete

Most Provo jobs we see are around a house that's already lived in, with a garage slab, a porch or a walk staying put while the piece beside it gets replaced. That means the new concrete has to meet the old at the right height, fall away from the house and fit an entry that was laid out long ago, and that kind of puzzle is why I started this business. We saw-cut cleanly where the old work stops, protect the lawn and beds we have to cross, and clean up so it still feels like your home when we leave.

The part nobody sees on pour day is the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and it's the first thing people want to cut when the budget's tight. I'd rather put the money there and keep the finish plain, because a nice surface poured on dirt that was only raked level cracks and sinks just the same.

Provo concrete questions, answered

Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway or patio in Provo?

Provo City makes that call, and the place to ask is the city's Building Division, which issues building permits for construction projects in Provo such as new structures, remodels and additions. We check with the city on every job before we schedule it, and if a permit is needed, we take care of the paperwork and the inspections.

Where do I get a building permit in Provo, and when is the office open?

Building permits come from the Building Division at 445 W Center Street, Suite 200, which is open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and issues permits until 5:30 PM. The division's line is (801) 852-6428. If we're doing your job and a permit is needed, we make that trip for you.

How do I plan footings or a foundation for a new home or addition in Provo?

Start with the division's checklists, since the city lists one for new home plan review, one for residential remodels and a set of garage construction requirements for a garage or shop. We pour the footings, foundations and slabs that go under that work, and we check with the city before we schedule, the same as any job.

How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Provo?

The cost of a new driveway in Provo comes down to its size, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish, a light texture brushed in so tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and adding steps, a walk or a saw-cut tie-in to a slab that's staying raises it. I'll measure it on site and give you a free estimate with your own figure.

How long does a new concrete driveway in Provo take before I can drive on it?

You'll be walking on it well before you can drive on it, because concrete gains strength slowly while it cures, the wait after the pour while it's kept from drying out too fast. I'll give you the walking day and the driving day for your pour before we start, since the mix and that week's weather change them, and we plan the work so you're without the driveway as little as we can manage.

What causes a concrete driveway in Provo to crack and sink?

Most cracking and sinking comes from what's under and around the slab, starting with a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed. Water running toward the house, a pour in midday heat that leaves a weak, dusty top, and control joints cut late or skipped are the other usual causes, since those grooves tell a slab where to crack. That's why I work out how your old concrete failed before we pour, and why I'll tell you plainly that new concrete can still crack, usually along the joints we put there for it.
