Why homeowners and builders hire Montrose Concrete

Most concrete trouble starts underground or in the planning, long before the surface shows it. So that's where we spend our time, and we explain each step to you before we pour, not after.

  1. You'll know why before we pour

    I walk you through your job in plain words at the estimate, from the slope to where each joint goes, so nothing about your new concrete surprises you later.

  2. The estimator runs your job

    I'm the one who looks at your site, and I'm on site with our crew when the work gets done, so what we talked about in your driveway is what gets built.

  3. Ground, water and joints first

    We dig out and pack the subgrade, the soil your slab sits on, check which way water will run, and plan the joints before the forms go in, because that's where most concrete trouble starts.

  4. Care steps you can follow

    Before we leave, I explain curing, the wait while new concrete gains strength, and tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for tires, so it gets a good start.

Concrete services in Montrose, CO

Montrose Concrete is a concrete contractor in Montrose, CO, offering 16 services, from a backyard patio to a commercial parking lot. Homeowners call us about cracked, sinking or uneven driveways, walks and steps, and builders call us for footings and slabs that have to be right before anything goes on top. The price mostly comes down to the size, how much digging and base work your ground needs, the slab thickness, the steel inside it and any stamped or colored finish. The schedule turns on site prep, whatever the city or county office asks for, and the weather on pour day. Your on-site estimate puts your own figures on it, line by line.

  • Stamped concrete driveway with a textured stone pattern extends across the front of a wood-sided house beneath mature trees.

    Concrete driveway building

    A new driveway starts with digging out and packing the base, then a broom finish, a light ridged texture that gives tires and shoes some grip.

  • Concrete patio and walkway extend beneath a covered pergola beside a tan house, with gravel landscaping.

    Concrete patio construction

    Want a spot for the grill and a few chairs? We pour patios sloped gently away from your house, so rain runs off instead of pooling by the foundation.

  • Broad gray concrete treads form brick-faced steps leading to a red front door.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still workable, giving a patio or walk the look of stone or brick in one slab.

  • A curved stamped concrete sidewalk runs beside a beige house, bordered by river stones, trimmed shrubs, and lawn.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    Uneven, cracked walks catch toes and wheels. We tear out the old sections and pour level walks and paths with joints set where cracks belong.

  • Wide pale concrete steps descend from a covered patio beside a stone retaining wall, colorful flower beds, and a multicolored paver walkway.

    Garage floor concrete

    For a garage that carries cars, tools and a workbench, we pour a thick, steel-reinforced floor sloped toward the door so water runs out instead of sitting.

  • Patterned concrete patio with curved edges surrounds outdoor seating and a play slide beside a gray house.

    Decorative concrete

    Decorative concrete covers color, exposed aggregate and other finishes for homes and storefronts that want their walks, patios or entries to be more than plain gray.

  • A pale stone retaining wall borders broad concrete steps leading up to a modern gray house, with shrubs and flowers along the wall.

    Concrete retaining walls

    Is a slope sliding into your yard? A poured retaining wall holds the soil back, with drainage behind it so water pressure doesn't push the wall over.

  • Concrete driveway leads to a modern dark-sided house with two garage doors, landscaped flower beds, and a green lawn.

    Concrete floor installation

    We pour interior concrete floors for shops, basements, barns and commercial spaces, set flat and finished smooth or textured to suit the work done on them.

  • Light-colored textured concrete pool deck surrounds a blue swimming pool, with palm trees and shrubs in the background.

    Concrete pool decks

    A pool deck has to drain fast and give bare feet some grip. We pour decks around in-ground pools with a textured finish and a slope that carries splash water away.

  • A straight flight of dark concrete steps climbs between black metal railings across a grassy yard.

    Concrete steps construction

    Crumbling or tilting front steps are a fall waiting to happen. We form and pour new steps with even risers and a textured top, tied into your walk.

  • Concrete patio paved with large gray slabs surrounds a round concrete water feature and four cushioned chairs.

    Slab foundation building

    For builders and owners putting up a home, garage or shop, we pour slab foundations on a packed base with the steel and thickness your plans call for.

  • Decorative stamped-concrete patio with a geometric pattern, seating, raised flower beds, and a landscaped lawn.

    Foundation installation

    We form and pour foundation walls for new homes and additions, working from your plans and through the inspections the city or county office asks for.

  • Circular gray stone-block fire pit sits on a stamped-concrete patio beside a low retaining wall.

    Concrete parking lot building

    Property owners and businesses call us for parking lots that carry daily traffic, poured on a deep, packed base and graded so water drains off the lot.

  • Concrete steps descend to a paved garden patio with four chairs around a fire feature and surrounding greenery.

    Concrete footings

    What holds up a deck post, wall or addition? Footings, the wide concrete base under it, dug and poured to the size and depth your plans call for.

  • A large rectangular stamped concrete patio with a dark border extends from the back of a gray house into a fenced yard.

    Foundation raising

    When a slab or foundation has settled and left doors sticking or floors uneven, we lift it back toward level and look at the soil that let it sink.

  • A patterned decorative concrete patio stretches across the lawn behind a tan house under a clear blue sky.

    Concrete cutting

    Need a doorway in a foundation wall, a trench through a slab or a damaged section taken out? We saw-cut concrete along straight, clean lines.

How your concrete job runs, start to finish

Here's how a job goes from your side, from the first call to the walk-through after we finish.

  1. Call or send a message

    Call (970) 964-6176 or send us a message through the form, and tell us a little about the job, whether it's a cracked driveway, a new patio or footings for a build. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come look.

  2. I visit and give you a quote

    I come out myself, look at the site and the ground, and ask how you'll use the concrete, because a patio for chairs and a pad for a trailer aren't built the same. Your quote is free with no pressure to book, and I go over it with you line by line.

  3. Permit check, prep and pour

    Once you're ready, we check with the city or county office that covers your address and walk you through what it asks for, and if a permit is needed we help you sort out the paperwork. Then we dig out, pack the base, set forms and pour, and I'm there with our crew.

  4. Finish and walk-through

    We finish the surface, cut the joints and clean up the site. Before we leave, I walk you through caring for your new concrete and answer anything you're unsure about, so you know what to do and what to avoid while it cures.

About us

Montrose is where we live and pour

Montrose is home base for us, and it's where most of our driveways, patios and steps get poured. People here spend a lot of time outside, on the concrete trails that tie the parks of Baldridge Park to the Uncompahgre River Trail, and on the walking paths at the Ute Indian Museum, which sits on Chief Ouray and Chipeta's homestead site.

Around town we see a bit of everything, from tired driveways and front walks on older houses to patios behind newer ones and footings and slabs for builders putting up homes and shops. We bring the same care to each of them, here and in Delta and the cities nearby.

Questions about concrete in Montrose, CO

(970) 964-6176
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Montrose, CO?

It depends on the size of the driveway, whether old concrete has to be torn out first and how much digging and base work your ground needs. Length, slope and how close the truck can get also matter, so I price it after seeing your site and go over the quote with you line by line.

Does stamped or decorative concrete cost more than a plain slab?

Yes, stamping, color and other decorative finishes add labor and material, so they cost more than a plain broom finish. If the budget is tight, I'd rather you keep a solid base and go simpler on top, because a finish can be redone later and a bad base can't.

How long until I can use my new driveway or patio?

You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength for days after the pour. I'll tell you the timing for your slab before we leave, and site prep and any permit check come ahead of pour day.

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

It depends on the job and your address, so we check before we schedule instead of guessing. Inside city limits, City of Montrose Building Services issues building permits and handles inspections, and addresses under county jurisdiction go through the Montrose County Building Department. Where a permit is needed, we help with the paperwork and keep you posted.

Is Montrose Concrete licensed and insured?

Yes, Montrose Concrete is licensed and fully insured. Bring any questions about it to the estimate, and I'll answer them in plain words before you decide anything.

How do you prepare the ground before pouring concrete?

We dig out to firm soil and pack the subgrade instead of raking dirt level, because a slab on loose dirt settles right along with it. We also check where water runs so the slab sheds it away from your house, and we time the pour to stay out of the midday heat, since a slab that dries too fast can end up with a weak, dusty top.

Will my new concrete crack like the old one did?

Most concrete cracks a little, but a well-built slab cracks where we planned it to, along control joints, the grooves we cut so cracks follow a straight line instead of wandering across the middle. Rebar, steel bars set inside the slab, helps hold pieces together so a crack doesn't spread or shift.

Do you guarantee your concrete work?

Your satisfaction, guaranteed. Concrete is still concrete, so I'll explain up front how we handle the base, the water and the joints and what to expect from your slab, because I'd rather explain something twice than have it surprise you later.
