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.

Questions We Get
Questions we get.
Do you handle the prep work yourself?
We handle it all. Topsoil strip, excavation to depth, grading for drainage, and four inches of compacted Class 5 base. We don’t sub the prep out because the prep decides whether your slab holds or cracks.
What reinforcement do you use, and why?
Half-inch steel rebar on sixteen-inch centers, placed on chairs so it sits dead-center in the slab. Wire mesh is cheaper but it lifts during the pour and ends up at the bottom where it does nothing for tensile stress.
How does your concrete hold up to Minnesota winters?
Freeze/thaw survival is engineered, not hoped for. Air-entrained mix, proper cure time before first freeze, control joints within 12 hours, and positive drainage so water never sits on the slab.
Are quotes free, and how long do they take?
Every quote is free. We come out, walk the project, and hand you a written quote within a few days: broken out by prep, reinforcement, concrete, and finish. No pressure, no upsell.
What happens if something goes wrong after the pour?
We’re insured and bonded, and every pour comes with a written warranty covering workmanship. You call us and we come look at it. We’re based in Rochester and we’re not going anywhere.
Up in Cannon Falls
River-town concrete on the north edge.
Cannon Falls sits near the northern edge of where we work, a Goodhue County river town built along the Cannon River and the old rail bed that is now the Cannon Valley Trail. It is a bit of a drive north from our Rochester base, but it is a town with a lot of character and a lot of older property, which means the concrete work up here runs the full range. We pour fresh driveways and patios for newer places, and we tear out and replace plenty of failed flatwork that was poured thin and unreinforced decades ago.
Being a river town, drainage is never an afterthought in Cannon Falls. The ground near the Cannon can hold moisture, and lots that step down toward the water need a careful eye on where runoff goes. We grade every slab to shed water away from the structure, and on a replacement job we look hard at why the old pad failed before we pour the new one. Usually it traces back to the same two things: no real base under it, and water that was allowed to sit and freeze underneath. We fix both at the source.
The work itself does not vary by town. Four inches of compacted Class 5, half-inch steel rebar set dead-center in the slab, an air-entrained mix that takes our freeze and thaw beating, and control joints cut within twelve hours so the concrete cracks where we tell it to. The owner drives up, looks the project over, and writes you a free quote with each part of the job on its own line. No pressure, no upsell, fully insured and bonded.
A town with as much older property as Cannon Falls sees a lot of tear-out and replacement work, and that is a part of the job we genuinely like. There is real satisfaction in pulling up a cracked, failing slab that has been an eyesore for years and leaving behind something flat, square, and built to outlast the owner. The key is never repeating the mistakes that sank the old pad. If the original failed because it sat on bare dirt with no drainage, we do not just pour over the problem. We fix the ground first.
Getting started in Cannon Falls is simple. Give us a call, tell us whether you are looking at new work or a replacement, and we will set a time to drive up and walk the project. We will look hard at the site, talk through the options, and leave you with a free written quote broken out line by line. There is no obligation and no pressure to sign anything. We want you comfortable with both the plan and the price before we ever break ground.
