Concrete contractor in Centre, AL

Centre, the Cherokee County seat on Highway 9 and US 411

Centre is the seat of Cherokee County, and it's about a 52-minute drive from our shop in Cedartown, a little over 31 miles up the road. We pour driveways, patios and foundations for homeowners across town, and across the rest of the county too, out to Cedar Bluff, Gaylesville and Leesburg.

Highway 9 and US Route 411 connect Centre with Gadsden to the west and Rome, Georgia, to the east, and those same roads carry us in with the trucks and equipment a pour needs.

Sizing a patio to a Centre backyard

A concrete patio here can sit right off the back door or step down toward the yard, sized to however your family actually uses the space. Left plain, it gets a broom finish; colored and pressed with a pattern, it reads as stamped concrete instead.

Pattern and color aren't tied to whatever's already out front. A stamped patio and a plain driveway can sit on the same property without needing to match, since the two rarely compete for attention at once.

A front walk, a side-door landing or a generator pad

Not every job is a driveway or a patio. Slabs and flatwork cover the smaller stuff: a walk from the drive to the front steps, a landing by a side door, or a pad set aside for a generator or an AC unit. They move faster than a driveway to pour, though a generator pad still needs to sit level and clear of the AC condenser beside it.

Widening, extending or pouring a Centre driveway

Some driveways here start from bare gravel or dirt with a brand new pour. Others are an existing slab widened out for a second vehicle, or a parking pad added to the side where there wasn't room before.

How thick the slab gets poured, and whether it carries reinforcement, comes down to what parks on it regularly. Concrete driveways built for a couple of sedans don't need the same build as one that sees a work truck or a loaded trailer, so mention that when you reach out.

Foundations on low ground near Weiss Lake

New construction around Centre needs the same range of foundation work we pour anywhere in our territory. A new house gets a home foundation built to its own blueprint, and anything detached, a garage or a shop, gets garage and shop foundations instead.

A carport or steel building gets a metal building foundation laid out to match its plans before it ever shows up on a truck. Footings built for a barn or shed cover the smaller structures, while a home addition needs a foundation that ties into the house's own.

Weiss Lake sits about five miles north of town, and a lot that low or close to the water can drain differently than one further up the ridge. Mention that when you reach out, so we know what we're planning a footing or a foundation on.

Who handles a building permit in Centre?

The City of Centre Building Department is the office to check with about a new slab, driveway or foundation inside town. It's a quick call to make before work starts, whatever the project.
