How Taylor Concrete Contractors Works
Taylor Concrete Contractors pours and repairs residential concrete in Taylor and the Downriver suburbs around it: driveways, backyard patios, stamped surfaces, service walks, front steps and porches, garage floors, and slabs that have sunk or cracked.
Most of the houses we work on are older than their owners expect. Census figures summarized by Point2Homes put the median build year for Taylor housing at 1963, and about 71 percent of homes went up between 1950 and 1979. A driveway or stoop poured with one of those houses has now been through somewhere between 45 and 75 Michigan winters, often on clay ground that holds water. Our job is usually to take out tired concrete and build something better underneath it than what was there before.
What you can expect from us
- A visit before a number. We come out, measure, and figure out why the old slab failed before we price the new one.
- A quote you can read. Tear-out, base stone, thickness, reinforcement, finish and sealing each get their own line.
- Permits handled up front. Taylor's Building Department lists concrete work, driveways and approaches, patios, public sidewalks and service walks among the jobs that need a permit, and asks for a copy of the construction contract with any permit application. We sort that out before the job is on the calendar. Neighboring cities set their own rules, and we check those too.
- Honest repair advice. If lifting a panel or resurfacing will fix the problem, the quote says so.
- Care instructions in writing. You get dates for walking, parking and sealing, plus what to use on the slab its first winter.
