About our concrete contractor business in Daphne
We're a concrete contractor in Daphne, AL, pouring driveways, patios and slabs, and we put the most work into the ground underneath because that decides how they hold up.
From weekend patios to Daphne driveways
I started out pouring patios and walks for neighbors on weekends, and in 2013 those side jobs turned into Precision Daphne Concrete. I learned the trade by doing it, next to older finishers who'd make you redo an edge if it wasn't right. I still look at an edge the way they taught me.
Most of our calls come from homeowners in Daphne and the cities around it, plus some small business owners who need a lot or a pad poured. We're best known for driveways, patios and slabs that are built right underneath, where nobody looks once the concrete's down.
The base, the drainage and the cure are the parts I care about most, because you can't see them once it's poured. A slab can look fine the day we leave, and I want it to hold up long after that. If a budget gets tight, I'd trim the fancy finish before I'd cut the base, since a nice surface on soft dirt still cracks and sinks.
How we run a concrete job
Every job starts with a plan for what goes under the slab. Our own crew does the work with me running it, and we keep the site tidy as we go.
First look at your site
We check your ground and where your water runs, so the slab drains away from the house. When a job needs a permit, we work with the city or county office for your address.
Building it from the ground up
Our crew digs out and packs the subgrade, the dirt your slab sits on, because raked dirt settles. We dodge the midday heat and cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a set place to go.
Curing, cleanup and walk-through
Curing is the wait while the concrete gains strength, and we'll tell you when it's ready for feet and for cars. We clean up the site, then walk the slab with you before we call it done.
What you can count on from our concrete crew
The person you call shows up
Most of the time it's me calling you back and me coming out to look, so you're not explaining your job again to someone new halfway through.
Straight answers on your plan
If something in your plan won't hold up, I'll tell you right away and why, then how I'd fix it. That goes even when the fix means less work for us.
Estimates you can compare
Your estimate comes in writing with the main parts priced out, so you can line it up against other bids and see what's going into the base.
