Garage floor concrete we pour

  • New garage slab

    A thicker slab for a new garage or addition, with rebar or wire mesh, the steel that holds it together, so it carries cars and trucks.

  • Replacement garage floor

    A new floor where the old one has cracked, sunk at the door or worn dusty on top, built this time for the weight you park on it.

What does a new garage floor in Daphne involve?

Garage floor concrete in Daphne is a slab poured thicker than a patio or sidewalk, usually with steel inside, so it can carry the weight of your cars and trucks. Most of the wait on a garage floor is the cure, the slow hardening after the pour, before the vehicles can go back in.

Most calls start with a floor that's cracked across the middle, sunken at the door or chipping on top, or a new garage that needs its first slab. The price moves with the size of the floor, how thick it has to be for what you park, the steel inside it and how much prep the site needs, and the schedule turns mostly on the weather on pour day and the cure after it. If the driveway out front is tired too, it often makes sense to pour them together, and the estimate I leave you shows your own number.

Garage floor work from the base up

Before I price a garage floor, I ask what you park, because a work truck asks more of a slab than a sedan, and I check whether the yard beside it needs concrete retaining walls.

  • Dig out and pack the base

    We dig out and pack the base the slab sits on, because a raked base sinks and takes the floor down too.

  • Steel and thickness for cars

    We set the steel and form the slab to the thickness your vehicles need, since a garage floor carries more weight than any patio.

  • Finish for grip or color

    We finish the floor smooth or with a broom finish, a brushed texture for grip, or add color through our decorative concrete work.

  • Covered and damp cure

    We keep the slab covered and damp while it cures, so the top gets hard enough to take tires instead of turning weak and dusty.

  • I come out to see your garage

    I look at most jobs myself before we price them, and our own crew pours your floor with me running it, so nobody's guessing at what I told you.

  • Fully licensed and insured on your job

    We're fully licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask about both when I come out, before you sign anything or hold us up against another bid.

  • Your money goes to the base first

    If the budget's tight, I'd rather keep the dug-out, packed base and give up some finish, because nobody sees the base on day one but it decides whether the floor stays flat.

What happens after you call about a garage floor?

We plan a garage floor around the days you'll be without your garage, so you know before we start when the pour is and what that first week looks like.

Garage floor questions we hear

How long until I can park on a new garage floor?

One cost guide for Mobile, Alabama says a new slab should be walkable within 48 hours and suggests waiting a week before heavier loads like your car go on it. Concrete keeps curing for about a month, 28 to 30 days, before it's fully hard, so plan on light use that first week. I'll give you a straight answer for your floor on when you can walk on it and when the truck can go back in.

How does hot weather change a garage floor pour in Daphne?

National hot weather guidance says to place and finish concrete outside the hottest part of the day when possible, so your pour time may depend on the day's heat. The same guidance says to keep curing a new slab for at least 3 days in hot weather so the water doesn't leave it, using wet burlap with plastic sheeting, a liquid curing compound or water. Ask any crew which method they use, and ours is the covered, damp cure described above.

How much does a concrete garage floor cost in Alabama?

A concrete slab in Alabama usually costs about $5.50 to $10.50 per square foot. That's a statewide figure for slabs in general, not our price, and a garage floor's extra thickness and steel push it around. Your own number comes with the estimate I leave after looking at the garage.

Do I need a licensed contractor for a garage floor in Alabama?

Under Alabama's Home Builders Licensure Law, work on a home that costs more than $10,000, labor and materials included, is a residential home builder's job, where it falls under the state licensing board. If you act as your own contractor under the homeowner exemption, you put at risk your right to file a consumer complaint and collect from the Homeowners' Recovery Fund. A subcontractor whose part of that job costs more than $10,000.00 still has to be licensed.

What causes a new concrete garage floor to crack?

Extra water in the mix is one cause, because shrinkage in hardened concrete goes up in direct proportion to the water in it. In hot weather, a slab poured right on a vapor retarder, a layer laid under the slab, needs special care in finishing and curing to guard against cracking. It's fair to ask any crew how they manage water in the mix.

Do I need to call 811 before pouring a garage floor in Daphne?

Where it applies, Daphne's permit checklist calls for a line locate, and that starts with a call to 811 so buried utility lines get marked. If your job needs a permit, we'll take care of it along with the rest of the paperwork.

Garage floor concrete in Daphne, from permit to cleanup

In Daphne, the city's Building Inspection Department issues building permits and inspects building components such as structural work, and that's the office to ask whether your garage floor needs one. For a general building permit, the city's checklist asks for a copy of the contract showing the job cost, a City of Daphne business license, a plot plan and detailed plans for new work, and when a job needs a permit, we help with that paperwork and work with the office that covers your address. On permitted home sites, the city's site containment inspector checks that mud and construction debris stay on the property, and the city can ticket the contractor or the owner, or stop the work, when the problems keep coming back, so we keep our mess on your lot and off the street.

We're based in Daphne and work in Mobile, across Baldwin County and in the cities around them, and on jobs in Fairhope we get the same calls as here, worn and cracked floors in attached garages and new garages waiting on their first slab.
