Homes, shops and lots across Beaumont
Beaumont's a bigger city than Orange, and the calls here cover more kinds of work. Older neighborhoods have original driveways that cracked and dropped at the street. Newer subdivisions have builder patios nobody thought were big enough. And plenty of shops and offices need a lot or a walk redone. We work here the same way we do in Port Arthur and Nederland, just down the road.
Most of Beaumont sits low and flat, and a lot of the ground is clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks back in a dry summer. Water doesn't have far to fall here, so a slab that isn't sloped away from the house holds a puddle, and dirt that was only raked level settles out from under the concrete. That's why I look at the base and where the water goes before we ever talk about a finish.
Our services in Beaumont, TX
Older Beaumont driveways often crack and drop where the base was only raked level. We break out the old slab, dig down to firm ground, pack a new base and pour with steel inside.
A lot of Beaumont backyards hold water after a hard rain, and a patio poured flat just gives it a place to sit. We set the slope away from the house before the forms go up.
Garage floors in older Beaumont houses are often cracked or pitched toward the back wall. Our garage floor concrete work starts with the subgrade, the packed ground the slab sits on, then a fresh pour.
New homes and additions on Beaumont's low lots need a slab set at the right height on firm, packed ground. We check the elevation and the soil before we dig a footing or set a form.
Clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons can let a corner of a house settle until doors stick and the brick cracks. We find out why it dropped before we bring it back up.
Delivery trucks break up a thin parking lot from the edges in, and plenty of Beaumont shops and offices are living with one. We pour thicker where trucks turn and cut joints where cracks belong.

What happens when you call us about a Beaumont job
Call or send the form
You call (409) 216-5078 or send the form, and we set a time for me to come out to your Beaumont address. It helps if you're there so you can show me where the water goes when it rains.
I measure and look underneath
I measure, ask what the slab is for and look at what's sitting under it, and then you get a written estimate. It spells out what's included and what isn't, so you know what you're paying for.
We sort out the city side
We find out which office covers your address and handle the permit side with them before any forms go up. When a Beaumont job needs a building permit, the city reviews site plans before it issues one, so that review comes before our crew shows up.
Our crew pours and finishes
Our crew lead runs the job while the finishers prep the ground, set forms, pour and finish. Then I walk the finished job with you and tell you how long to stay off it while it cures, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength.
Beaumont concrete questions answered
Who handles concrete permits in Beaumont, TX?
The City of Beaumont's Community Development office handles all permitting in the city, including building inspections. Its permit list includes driveway, grading, and street cut and barricading permits, and you can look up permit information and apply on the city's permit portal. When we take your job, we work out with the city what your address needs.
How do I schedule a concrete inspection in Beaumont?
The permit holder schedules every inspection on the city's online City Works Portal, and the city won't book one over the phone. Building Codes inspects work while it's in progress, and follow-up questions go to Community Development at 409-880-3100, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. When we're handling the permit side of your job, keeping track of those inspections is part of it.
Where do I pay permit fees in Beaumont, TX?
The city collects permit fees only in person at City Hall or through its official online portal. It also tells applicants to check that any city email comes from a beaumonttexas.gov address, so a payment request from anywhere else isn't the city.
How do I find the flood elevation for my lot in Beaumont?
Call the city's Planning and Zoning Office at 409-785-4789, because the city sends Base Flood Elevation questions there, meaning the mapped flood level, for parts of Beaumont the federal flood map marks as undetermined A zones. On a new slab or an addition, I want that number before we decide how high the slab sits.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Beaumont?
The price comes down to the size, how thick the slab is, how much digging and base work the ground needs, and whether an old driveway has to be broken out and hauled off first. Steel, the finish and whether trucks or just cars will use it move it too. If the budget's tight, I'd cut a decorative finish before I'd cut the base, because the base is the one part you can't fix later without tearing the slab out.
What causes concrete driveways in Beaumont to crack and sink?
Most of the time it's what's underneath, either ground that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, or water running under the slab and softening the clay. Cracks also land where nobody chose when control joints, the grooves cut so the slab cracks along a straight line, go in late or get skipped. We pack the base, slope the slab away from the house, add rebar, the steel that holds a crack tight, and pour early on hot days so the top doesn't dry out weak and dusty.
