Flatwork FAQs
What types of flatwork services do you offer?
We handle everything from garage and basement floors, driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches, to steps for both residential and commercial properties. No job is too big or too small—we bring quality to every slab.
How can I tell when my concrete needs repairs or replacement?
Common warning signs include cracking, chipping, flaking, noticeable settling or uneven surfaces, broken edges, and stubborn stains or discoloration. If you spot any of these, reach out—we offer free estimates and expert advice.
What do your free flatwork estimates include?
We provide a no-cost site assessment, discuss your goals (new pour or repair), review material and finishing options, and present a transparent estimate—so you know what to expect before we begin.
What makes concrete flatwork durable and long-lasting?
Flatwork withstands high load pressure—industrial-grade concrete can support ~6,000 psi. With proper subgrade prep, reinforcement (rebar/mesh), quality mix, and finishing, your slab can last 20–30 years or more.
What’s involved in the flatwork process?
We start by excavating and preparing the base, then install forms and reinforcement. Next we pour and level the concrete, edge and finish the surface, cut control joints to prevent cracks, and seal the slab for protection.
Can flatwork be customized—for example, stamped or colored finishes?
Absolutely. Flatwork can be customized with textures like broom, stamped patterns, or exposed aggregate, and tinted to match your design aesthetic. Ask us for decorative options suited to patios, porch slabs, or walkways.
Do you offer waterproofing or drainage with flatwork?
Yes. We can integrate interior or exterior drain tile systems, damp-proof coatings, and even sump pumps where needed, to protect slabs and foundations from water damage.
How does winter weather affect concrete flatwork in Missouri?
Harsh winters can cause freeze-thaw stress, leading to cracking, spalling, or settling. Proper installation—solid base, reinforced concrete, drain tiles, and sealants—is vital to extend flatwork longevity in Missouri).
Can I rent concrete forms or equipment for DIY projects?
Yes! Through U-Rent Inc. (established 2001), we rent concrete forms, boom trucks, conveyor trucks, and more. Call 636‑584‑1065 for details on rentals and availability.
