Saint Charles, our home base
Saint Charles sits on the Missouri River, and most folks here know the old riverfront part of town. The First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site was the first seat of Missouri's state government, and you can still take a guided tour of the rooms where it got started. Along the water, the Lewis & Clark Boat House and Museum keeps a full-size replica keelboat, and Frontier Park, next to Main Street, often hosts concerts, food truck events and Riverfest.
That river setting shapes concrete work here. St. Charles County calls flooding a common issue, and in the city's six historic districts the Landmarks Board has to approve new construction, fences included, so a new slab there may need a sign-off before we start. Work that touches a public sidewalk or street needs a city permit, and so does a dumpster parked in the street. The city's building code lists severe weathering and a 30-inch frost line as design values, not readings at your lot, which is why we pay close attention to the base, the drainage and how deep footings go. It's the same ground we build on here and in the cities around it.
Concrete work we do in Saint Charles, MO
K&L Saint Charles Concrete is a concrete contractor in Saint Charles offering 16 services, from flatwork, the driveways, patios and walks that lie on the ground, to footings, foundations and walls. Price mostly turns on the size and thickness of the job, how much old concrete comes out, how much the ground needs dug out and packed, and the finish you choose. The schedule turns on weather, any permit your address needs and curing, the wait while new concrete hardens before you walk on it and the longer wait before you drive on it. Concrete can still crack, so we cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow instead of a random one. Your written estimate gives your own numbers.
Concrete driveway building
We dig out, pack a firm base and pour a new driveway sized for what you park on it, with control joints cut early so any cracks land where we planned them.
Concrete patio construction
Want a place for a grill and a table out back? We build concrete patios sloped away from your house so rain runs off instead of pooling by the foundation.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is a slab pressed with patterns and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios, walks and pool areas where you want that look in one piece.
Concrete sidewalk building
We pour new sidewalks for front walks, side paths and business entrances, and we pack the base first because loose dirt underneath is what lets sections sink and trip people.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes car weight and winter salt dripping off the tires, so we pour it on a packed base and slope it toward the door to drain.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, stains, exposed stone and patterns, for homeowners and businesses who want a slab that fits the look of the building instead of plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
We pour concrete retaining walls to hold back a slope where you want flat ground, with drainage behind the wall so water doesn't build up and push on it.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior concrete floors for basements, shops, warehouses and additions, set to the height and flatness the space needs, whether it stays bare or gets flooring later.
Concrete pool decks
Who's the pool deck for? Mostly bare feet, so we give it a texture with some grip when wet and slope it away from the pool so splash water drains off.
Concrete steps construction
We form and pour concrete steps for front doors, porches and side entrances, with even step heights and a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives shoes grip in rain.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is a concrete pad a house, garage or shop sits right on, and we pour it over a packed subgrade, the ground dug and firmed to carry it.
Foundation installation
We build foundations for new homes, additions and garages, from the dig to poured walls, with rebar, the steel bars inside that keep the concrete from pulling apart if it cracks.
Concrete parking lot building
For businesses, landlords and property managers, we pour concrete parking lots with a base built for daily traffic and slopes that carry water to the drains.
Concrete footings
Footings are the wide concrete bases under walls, posts and porches, and we set them below the frost line, the depth winter freezing reaches, so freezing ground doesn't push them up.
Foundation raising
Is a corner of your slab or porch sinking? Foundation raising lifts settled concrete back toward level, and we look for what caused the settling, usually water or a soft base.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway, a trench for a pipe or a cracked section removed cleanly? We saw-cut concrete so the opening has straight edges and the rest of the slab stays intact.
Why homeowners and businesses call us
Your options in plain words before you sign
I'd rather explain drainage, joints and finish choices up front than have you surprised later. You'll know what you're paying for and why before anything gets signed.
The owner at every estimate
I come out to every estimate myself, so your plan comes from someone who has stood on your site and seen where the water goes. Once work starts, our crew lead runs it on site.
The base comes before the finish
Before I started this business, I spent years repairing sunken steps and broken driveways at rental properties, and most of it failed underneath. If the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before I'd skimp on digging out and packing the ground.
Every part of the job on its own line
Your written estimate lists each part of the job separately, like the tear-out, the base, the pour and the finish. That way you can see where the money goes and nothing is buried in one total.
If you'd like your options laid out before you decide, tell us about your project.
