How Elite Concrete Contractors Madison Works

Elite Concrete Contractors Madison pours and repairs residential concrete across Madison and the Dane County towns around it: driveways and aprons, patios, stamped surfaces, walks, stoops and steps, plus lifting and resurfacing for slabs that can still be saved.

The job here is shaped by winter. The Wikipedia climate table for Madison, built from Dane County Regional Airport normals, shows a January average low of 11.8 degrees and about 52 inches of snow a year. Concrete that sees that much freezing, plowing and de-icing needs a drained base, the right thickness and an air-entrained mix. Those parts are buried or invisible on the finished slab, which is exactly why we spell them out on paper.

What you can expect

• A visit before a number. We measure, check slope and drainage, and look for the reason the old concrete failed.
• A quote you can compare. Removal, base, thickness, reinforcement, finish and sealing each get their own line.
• The cheaper fix, when it is real. If a sunken panel can be lifted or a flaking surface resurfaced, that price sits beside the replacement price.
• City paperwork in plain terms. Madison treats the terrace, the public walk and the driveway approach differently from your own slab. We explain which pieces are yours, which need a permit and how the city's sidewalk program bills owners.
• Care notes when we leave. Dates for walking, driving and sealing, and what to put down instead of salt the first winter.
