Concrete Contractors in Rockdale, IL

Rockdale sits immediately south of Joliet, close enough that concrete contractors in Rockdale are only minutes from most jobs. It is a small village: the 2020 census counted 2,012 residents and 866 housing units, with 7.6 percent of units vacant. Rockdale was founded in 1894 by a group of local businessmen, and its motto is Harmony and Industry.

Older housing, practical work

As a village more than 130 years old, Rockdale has many older homes with concrete to match: narrow drives, short walks, front steps and small back slabs that have cracked, settled or been patched many times. The work here is usually practical: replace the failing driveway, pour new steps that are safe to walk on, fix trip edges in the walk.

Owners, landlords and sellers

In a village of 866 housing units, one worn driveway or crumbling stoop stands out on the block. If you own a rental or are getting a house ready to sell, you may need a driveway, walk or steps replaced to pass an inspection or to make a property ready to rent or sell. We give clear written estimates and can schedule around tenants.

Ground and drainage

Rockdale shares its ground with the south side of Joliet, and soils in the area can range from shallow rock to heavy clay. We remove soft or organic soil, compact a stone base and slope each slab so water drains away from the house. We use air-entrained concrete and cut control joints on time so the slab holds up to freeze-thaw.
