Concrete Contractors in Verona, WI

Verona has nearly tripled in size in thirty years, and most people looking for concrete contractors in Verona live in a house built during that run. The census counted 5,374 people in 1990, 7,052 in 2000, 10,619 in 2010 and 14,030 in 2020, along with 5,646 housing units. Epic Systems is headquartered on a 1,670-acre campus in the city. All of that growth means a large share of Verona's driveways, patios and walks were poured in the last two or three decades, and the earliest of them are now old enough to need real work.

What 20-year-old concrete looks like

Concrete poured in the late 1990s and 2000s has been through more than twenty Wisconsin winters. On Verona driveways we commonly find:

• Scaling on the surface where salt and freeze-thaw broke down the top layer
• A cracked apron at the street where plows and tires hit hardest
• A sunken panel next to the garage, where backfill around the foundation kept settling
• Corner cracks on patios where the slab was not jointed often enough

If the damage is limited to a few panels and the base under the rest is firm, replacing just those sections is often the sensible choice. If the slab is settling in several places, scaling across the whole surface or draining toward the house, a full replacement with a new base is the better use of money.

From village to city

Verona was named for Verona, New York. It incorporated as a village in 1921 and as a city in 1978. The older village streets near the center of town have a different kind of concrete than the subdivisions: front walks, steps and garage slabs that have been patched over many years. On those jobs we pay close attention to how a new section meets old concrete, so the joint looks deliberate and the two pieces can move without cracking each other.

Trails, creeks and prairie

The Sugar River State Trail and a portion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail pass through Verona, Badger Mill Creek runs through the area, and the public library opened in 2006 in a Prairie School-style building looking over Badger Prairie Park. Many Verona owners want a backyard that works for that outdoor lifestyle: a patio big enough for a table and a grill, a side walk to store bikes behind the garage, or a pad for a shed. We size these to the lot and set the grade so rain moves off toward the lawn, not toward the house or the neighbor.

Built for winter

Every exterior slab we pour in Verona uses air-entrained concrete, which holds up much better when water in the surface freezes. We compact a gravel base under the slab, cut control joints at spacing that suits the slab size, cure the concrete properly, and recommend a sealer. For the first winter we suggest sand for traction instead of rock salt.
