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?
There’s no charge for a quote. We walk it with you, then send a written quote inside a few days, with prep, reinforcement, concrete, and finish all spelled out.
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.
Built For The Working Building
A floor that gets driven on every day.
A commercial floor takes a kind of abuse a home slab never sees. Forklifts run the same lanes a hundred times a day. Pallet jacks pivot in the same corner. Delivery trucks back up to the same dock edge winter after winter. A slab that was poured thin, on a soft base, with mesh that floated to the bottom, starts spalling at the joints inside the first year and the cracks spread from there. We pour commercial concrete the way it has to be poured to last: a 4,000 PSI mix or better, four inches of compacted Class 5 base under every square foot, half-inch steel rebar tied on a mat, and control joints saw-cut on a real layout instead of wherever the day ends.
Before we pour a warehouse floor or a shop slab we set the grade for drainage and flatness both, because a floor that ponds water is a floor that ices over the first cold morning and a floor that is out of level is a floor that wears a rack out of plumb. We saw the joints within twelve hours so the slab cracks where we tell it to and not across the middle of a drive lane. On loading-dock slabs and equipment pads we thicken the edges and add steel where the point loads land, since that is the spot that fails first when somebody else cuts the corner. None of this is exotic. It is just done, every time, on every job, whether the customer is watching or not.
Minnesota makes commercial concrete harder than most of the country. The freeze-thaw swing here pulls water into any crack or porous spot and splits it open from the inside, so we run an air-entrained mix, give the slab real cure time before the first freeze, and grade everything to drain so water never sits where it can do that damage. We are insured and bonded, every pour carries a written workmanship warranty, and the owner answers the phone when you call. If you run a shop, a warehouse, a dock, or an equipment yard in southern Minnesota, call us at (507) 735-8820 and we will come walk the site and hand you a written quote with the prep, the steel, the concrete, and the finish all spelled out. There is no charge for the visit and no charge for the quote.
Poured Around Your Schedule
We work around the way you run the place.
A commercial pour is not just concrete, it is downtime, and downtime costs a business money every hour the floor is roped off. We plan the work around that from the first site visit. If a shop can only give up half the floor at a time, we pour it in sections and saw the joints so the seam lands where it belongs instead of across a drive lane. If a dock has to keep taking trucks, we stage the slab work so there is always a way in and a way out. We tell you up front how many days the concrete needs before it can take foot traffic and how long before a forklift or a loaded truck can roll over it, because guessing on that is how a fresh slab gets ruined in week one.
The buildings we pour for around Rochester and the rest of southern Minnesota are working buildings: machine shops, ag-supply warehouses, trucking yards, small manufacturers, and the kind of family-run operations that have been here for two and three generations. Those owners do not want a sales pitch, they want a straight answer on what the floor needs, what it will cost, and when it will be done. That is the only way we know how to do it. We hand you a written quote with the prep, the steel, the concrete, and the finish broken out line by line, and the number we quote is the number you pay.
Because the spec is the same on every job, a commercial floor we pour holds up the same way a residential slab does: through decades of Minnesota winters, freeze after freeze, with the joints staying sharp and the surface staying flat. When you want to talk through a warehouse floor, a dock slab, an equipment pad, or a full building of flatwork, call us at (507) 735-8820 or reach out through our contact page. We will come out, walk it, and put a real number in writing. No charge for the visit, no charge for the quote, and no pressure after.
