The Crew Behind It
30 years combined.
Poured with care.
Pouring Praises started because we got tired of watching shortcuts hurt good people’s homes. Ten years inside a bigger outfit. Three decades combined on the field. We broke off and built Pouring Praises around one idea: care about the client, pour the slab the way it should be poured, stand behind it when the truck pulls away.
Our Standard
Built on the rock. Made to last.
Insured, bonded, Owatonna-based. Answering our own phone. Every pour comes with a written warranty.
What Every Pour Includes
The spec does not bend because the job is small.
01
Base & Prep
We do not pour on what we cannot stand on.
Four inches of compacted Class 5 base, grade set for drainage, vapor barriers where the spec calls for them. Luck gets you through one winter. Prep gets you through twenty.
02
Reinforcement
Half-inch steel rebar. Every slab.
Wire mesh lifts when you walk a wet pour. Half-inch steel on sixteen-inch centers, sitting dead-center in the slab — right where freeze-thaw stress wants to split it.
03
Finish & Cure
Sharp joints. Straight edges.
Control joints saw-cut within twelve hours. Hand-troweled to a hairline flatness. Cured under tarp when weather demands. No touch-ups after we leave.
