Concrete Contractors in Tinley Park, IL

One number explains most of the work for concrete contractors in Tinley Park: more than 11,000 housing units were built in the village between 1970 and 1994, according to Wikipedia. Population went from 12,572 in 1970 to 26,178 in 1980 and 48,401 in 2000. The 2020 census counted 55,971 residents and 22,751 housing units. A large share of the driveways, patios and walks in town are 30 to 50 years old.

What 30 to 50 years does to a slab

Concrete from the 1970s and 1980s has usually been through at least one round of patching. Driveways may have hairline cracks that have opened up, panels that have dropped at the garage or sidewalk, and surfaces worn down to the stone. Walks lift where tree roots have grown under them. Front steps separate from the house. At this age, replacement is usually more cost-effective than more patching, and a new base is part of the job.

The original 1892 village

Tinley Park was founded in 1853 as Bremen, renamed in 1890 after Samuel Tinley Sr., the first station agent at the depot, and incorporated on June 27, 1892. The historic downtown covers the original 1892 boundaries, and redevelopment there has focused on preserving historic buildings or giving new ones historically friendly facades. On older homes near downtown, we keep walks and steps plain and in scale.

Higher, flat ground

The village sits at about 738 feet across 16.2 square miles, almost no water. Flat ground and clay soils mean water has nowhere to go unless the concrete sends it there. We grade each slab away from the house and look at downspouts and sump discharge lines before we pour, because water dumped next to a new slab is what undermines it.

What we do in Tinley Park

• Driveways: full replacement, widening and aprons

• Repairs: trip edges, sunken sections and broken step corners

Replacing it all at once

When a Tinley Park home has a tired driveway, walk and stoop from the same era, doing them together usually makes sense: one tear-out, one base, matching finishes. If you only need one piece now, we can do that and plan the rest for later.

We check the village permit requirements for your project before we schedule, and we call J.U.L.I.E. to have utilities marked. Call (815) 205-0805 to book an estimate.
