How We Build and Price Concrete in Lenexa

Concrete Contractors Lenexa pours and repairs residential flatwork in Lenexa and the Johnson County suburbs around it: driveways and approaches, patios, stamped concrete, front walks and steps, garage floors and outbuilding slabs, and leveling or resurfacing for slabs that have dropped or worn.

Two local conditions shape every job. The first is the ground. The Kansas Geological Survey calls expansive soil "a more pervasive problem in Kansas" than landslides, describing clay soils that "heave and shrink from season to season, cracking foundations, driveways, and sidewalks." The second is the calendar. Kansas City International Airport, the nearest long-term weather station on Wikipedia's climate table, averages freezing temperatures from about October 31 to April 4, so a slab here goes through months of freezing and thawing each year.

How a job runs

• We see it first. Every price starts with a visit, a tape measure and a look at why the old concrete failed.
• The quote is itemized. Tear-out, base, thickness, reinforcement, finish and sealing each get a line, so you can compare bids honestly.
• The street side is handled properly. In Lenexa the right-of-way usually reaches about 11 feet behind the back of the curb. Approach and public-walk work needs a city right-of-way permit and an inspection before the pour, and we plan those into the schedule.
• Winter rules are followed. Lenexa enforces cold-weather protection when it is 40 degrees or colder, or forecast to be within 48 hours. Late-season pours get covered and protected for at least 72 hours.
• You get care instructions. When the job is done you get written dates for walking, parking and sealing.

When leveling or resurfacing will solve the problem for less than replacement, the quote shows both.
