Concrete work we do in Boulder City

Most Boulder City calls are for driveways, patios, walks and steps on established homes, where the new concrete has to meet what's already there.

  • A new concrete driveway, or a cracked, sinking one torn out and replaced, with the base dug out and packed so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt.

  • Backyard patios poured to slope away from the house, so rain runs off into the yard instead of pooling against your walls or slider door.

  • Concrete pressed with a pattern and colored to look like stone, brick or tile, for patios and walks where you want more than plain gray.

  • Front walks and side paths poured to line up with your steps and driveway, so there's no lip to trip on where new concrete meets old.

  • A new garage slab or a replacement for a cracked, chipped one, poured thick enough for a parked car and sloped toward the door.

  • Color, exposed stone, borders and special finishes that dress up a driveway, patio or walk for homeowners who want the concrete to suit an older house.

  • Poured concrete walls that hold back soil on a sloped lot, built with drainage behind them so water pressure doesn't push the wall over.

  • Interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and outbuildings, laid on a packed base and finished smooth or left ready for the flooring you choose.

  • Concrete decks around a pool, finished for grip under wet feet and sloped so splash water drains away from the pool edge and the house.

  • Front and back entry steps poured with even rises and treads, for homes where the old steps have cracked, settled or pulled away from the door.

  • Slab foundations for new homes, additions and garages, starting with the ground under the slab dug out, packed and checked before any concrete arrives.

  • Footings, stem walls and slabs for new structures, laid out to your plans and formed and poured by our own crew for property owners and builders.

  • Concrete parking areas and drive lanes for property owners, built heavier where trucks turn and sloped so water leaves the lot instead of sitting on it.

  • Concrete footings for walls, posts, patio covers and additions, dug to the depth the plans call for so the weight above sits on solid ground.

  • Lifting and leveling a slab or foundation that has sunk or tipped, for homeowners seeing wide cracks, uneven floors or doors that no longer close right.

  • Saw cutting concrete for new doorways, plumbing trenches and removals, and for clean edges where a new slab has to meet an old one.

Why Boulder City homeowners call us

We're a concrete contractor in Enterprise, NV, and Boulder City is one of the cities we drive out to, along with nearby Henderson. It doesn't feel like the rest of the valley. The streets are quieter, a lot of the houses are older, and some sit in the city's historic district, where whatever faces the street gets a closer look.

That shapes the job. On an older lot we're usually tearing out tired concrete and tying new work into walks, steps and garage floors that have been there a long time, so we spend more of our effort on edges, heights and where the water goes.

How we handle a Boulder City job

  • I look at it myself

    I come out to see the job and write the estimate, so the person pricing your driveway is the same one answering for it on pour day.

  • A written estimate

    You get it in writing with what's included and what isn't, so you can line it up against another bid and see exactly what you're paying for.

  • Our crew, me on site

    Our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing, and I'm there on pour days, because the calls made during the pour show up in the slab for years.

  • Straight answers first

    I'd rather lose a bid than sell you work you don't need, and if part of the job is out of our hands, you'll hear it before we start.

  • Base dug out and packed before forming
  • Slope checked so water runs away
  • Forms checked before the truck arrives
  • Steel placed where the slab needs it
  • Pour times picked to avoid midday heat
  • Control joints cut on time
  • Curing wait explained before we leave
  • Site cleaned up after the pour

The base is the part nobody sees once the slab is down, so it's the last place I'll trim to make a bid look cheaper.

What Boulder City homes ask of a concrete job

Boulder City runs its own permits and licensing, and many of its homes are older, so a job here starts with the paperwork and the concrete already there.

  • A city with its own rules

    Boulder City handles building permits and business licenses apart from the rest of the valley, so we check what covers your address first and, when a permit is needed, file it and set up inspections.

  • Street-facing work on older blocks

    Some homes sit in the city's historic district, where a change you can see from the street may need a design approval on top of a permit, so we find out before we form anything.

  • Old concrete to tie into

    On older lots, a new driveway or walk has to meet steps and garage floors that may have settled, so we cut clean edges and set heights to match.

  • Water that has to go somewhere

    Ground around older houses shifts over the years, so we check where water runs before we pour and slope the new slab away from your house, not toward it.

What signs mean your Boulder City concrete needs work?

Older driveways and walks here have had a long time to settle, so these are worth a look before a small crack or low spot turns into a full tear-out.

  1. Cracks that keep getting wider
  2. One slab sitting lower than the next
  3. Water pooling on the driveway
  4. A gap between the slab and house
  5. Chipping or flaking on the surface
  6. Steps pulling away from the door
  7. A lip in the walk to trip on
  8. A dusty top that wears away

Boulder City concrete questions

Does my concrete contractor need a Boulder City business license?

Yes, a contractor working in Boulder City needs a Boulder City business license, because the city isn't part of the shared business license that covers much of the Las Vegas Valley. The city asks contractors to check with its Business Licensing Department that they hold one. It's a fair question to put to anyone who bids your job.

Do I need a permit to pour a driveway or patio in Boulder City?

Ask the city's Community Development Department before you count on skipping one, because the city's list of work that needs no permit names small sheds, low fences and short retaining walls, not driveways or patios. That office handles building permits and inspections and takes calls at 702-293-9282. We check which office covers your address before we start.

Do I need historic district approval to redo my driveway in Boulder City?

You may, if the work needs a building permit and can be seen from a public street. In the historic district, changes like that, beyond standard maintenance, can need a Certificate of Appropriateness, the city's design approval, and the city's approval matrix decides whether you need one and at what level of review. To see if your house is in the district, search your address on the city's Interactive Map Viewer.

Does a short retaining wall need a permit in Boulder City?

A retaining wall less than 2 feet high is exempt from a permit in Boulder City. For anything taller, ask Community Development, since the exemption stops there. A taller wall on a slope usually needs its footing and the drainage behind it worked out first, and I'll look at the grade and talk through the height you need at the estimate.

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Boulder City?

The price comes down to the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and the finish you pick. A broom finish, a light texture swept in for grip, costs less than stamped or colored work, and tight access or steps add labor. I'll measure at your property and write it all down.

How long does it take to replace a concrete driveway in Boulder City?

The pour is the short part, and most of your wait sits on either side of it, with any permit or design review the city needs first and curing after. Curing is the stretch when new concrete gains strength, and you'll walk on it well before you can drive on it. Before we leave, I'll tell you the days for your slab so you can plan where to park.

What causes concrete to crack, and will my new slab crack too?

Most cracks come from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, water getting under the slab, or control joints cut late or skipped. Control joints are grooves we cut on purpose so the slab cracks along a straight line instead of wherever it wants. Concrete can still crack, but with a packed base, good drainage and joints cut on time, cracks usually stay in the joints.
