From century-old homes near downtown to new houses on the edge of the city, the concrete problems in Sioux Falls follow the age of the house. We look at the driveway, walks, steps and patio together and give one written quote.
Most of the concrete at a Sioux Falls house is in a few places: the driveway, the approach at the curb, the public sidewalk, the walk and steps to the front door, the garage floor, the patio and the basement. We work on all of them, new and replacement, and we look at them together because one often explains another.
Age tells us what to expect. Homes from the early 1900s near downtown tend to have narrow drives, steep worn steps and walks lifted by large trees. Postwar ranch houses have original driveways that have scaled from decades of salt. Houses built in the last twenty years on the edges of the city have sound concrete that has sunk beside the garage or the stoop, because the basement backfill is still settling.
Every job starts with a free visit and a written quote. We measure, check the slope and the soil, find where downspouts and the sump pump empty and ask how you use the space. The quote lists the thickness, base, reinforcement, joints, finish and tear-out, so you can compare it line by line with any other. Call or text (605) 633-5029 to set a time.
Residential concrete in Sioux Falls: common questions
My front steps have pulled away from the house. Is that serious?
Usually it is the stoop settling on backfill, not the house moving. The gap lets water in beside the foundation, so it should be dealt with. Steps can sometimes be lifted. Often they are replaced on a proper footing.
Which concrete at my house is mine and which is the city's?
The driveway, private walks, steps and patio are yours. The public sidewalk is in the right of way, but the city makes the property owner pay for its repair. Ask the city about the curb and the approach at your address.
Can you do the driveway and sidewalk at the same time?
Yes, and it usually makes sense. One truck visit and one tear-out cover both. The public sidewalk part needs its own city sidewalk permit.
