Concrete Contractor in Franklin County, OH
We travel to Columbus and Franklin County for larger residential and commercial concrete projects, with the same crews and the same written estimate.
Columbus Work, Run Out of Maineville
Franklin County is the furthest part of our service area, about a hundred miles north east of our yard in Maineville. We are straight about what that means. We are not the right call for a ten foot section of sidewalk in Columbus, because mobilizing a crew and a mixer that far does not make sense for either of us.
What does make sense is larger work: full driveway replacements, patios and pool decks, garage floor coatings, slab packages on multiple units, and commercial flatwork where one contractor doing the whole scope is worth more than a local crew doing part of it. On those jobs the drive is a rounding error against the quality of the pour.
If you are in Franklin County and want to know whether your project is worth our trip, call and describe it. We will tell you honestly, and if it is not, we will say that too. Our full service areas list shows where we work every day.
Why Franklin County Property Owners Call Us
We Tell You Up Front Whether the Trip Makes Sense
A hundred mile drive has to be earned. For a larger pour or a multi-unit package it is easily absorbed and you get a crew that has poured more than three hundred driveways since 2019. For a small repair it is not, and we will say so on the phone rather than quoting a number padded with travel. That answer is free.
Craftsmanship That Holds Up Here
We pour 4,000 psi air-entrained concrete on every exterior job, set 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed limestone underneath it, and cut control joints inside the first day. Those three things are what decide whether a slab is still flat in thirty years or cracked in five.
Written Estimates With the Line Items Showing
You get thickness, mix, reinforcement, finish, tear-out and timeline on paper before anything is ordered. No commissioned closer, no price that expires tonight, and no change order you did not agree to. If a repair beats a replacement on your property, we will say so.
Our Own Crews, Never Subcontracted
The same people who quote the work are the people who pour it. Shane and Tommy lead the crews, Calvin runs projects and Michael handles estimates, and owner Austin Thies answers 86% of our 260 public reviews himself. That is only possible when the work stays in house.
The Same Build Standard, Wherever the Job Is
Central Ohio gets the same freeze and thaw punishment as Cincinnati does, so nothing about our specification changes when we head north. Four thousand psi air-entrained concrete on every exterior pour. Four to six inches of crushed limestone compacted in lifts. Control joints cut at roughly ten feet inside the first day. A fall of an eighth to a quarter inch per foot away from the structure.
What does change is the scheduling. We block a continuous window for an out-of-area project rather than fitting it between local jobs, so the crew is on site from demolition through to the final finish without a gap in the middle.
What We Travel For
Full concrete driveways replacements, concrete patios and pool decks, stamped concrete and decorative concrete work, concrete slabs and shed pads, and garage floor coatings. On the commercial side, parking lot sections, curbs, catch basins and ADA walks.
Multi-property packages are the easiest fit of all. If you manage several units or a small portfolio in the Columbus area, a single mobilization covering all of them turns the travel from a cost into an advantage, and the pricing reflects that.
What Concrete Costs in Franklin County
The underlying market ranges are the ones we use everywhere: $8 to $12 per square foot for a driveway, $6 to $14 for a patio, $6 to $11 for slabs and pads, and $3 to $12 for a garage floor coating depending on the preparation the slab needs.
On an out-of-area project there is a mobilization component on top of that, and we show it as its own line rather than folding it into the rate. That way you can see exactly what the distance is costing and decide whether it is worth it. Everything appears on the free written estimate before anything is ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really travel to Columbus?
For larger projects, yes. A full driveway replacement, a patio and pool deck package, a garage floor, multi-unit slab work or commercial flatwork all justify the trip. A small repair does not, and we will tell you that on the phone.
Is it more expensive because you are coming from Cincinnati?
There is a mobilization component, and we show it as its own line item rather than inflating the per square foot rate. On a larger pour it is a small share of the total. On a small one it is most of it, which is why we are honest about which jobs make sense.
Is the specification different that far north?
No. Central Ohio gets the same freeze and thaw cycle, so it is the same 4,000 psi air-entrained mix, the same 4 to 6 inches of compacted stone, the same jointing at roughly ten feet and the same slope away from the structure.
How do you schedule an out-of-area job?
We block a continuous window rather than fitting it between local work, so the crew stays on site from demolition through to the final finish. That is better for the pour and it keeps the project from stretching across weeks.
Can you handle several properties at once?
That is the easiest version of this work. One mobilization covering several units in the Columbus area spreads the travel across the whole package, and the pricing reflects it. Send us the addresses and the scope and we will quote them together.
Do you offer a warranty on work that far away?
Yes, the same written workmanship warranty, with the terms stated in your estimate. Hairline shrinkage cracking is excluded, as it is across the trade. If something needs attention we come back.
