Concrete work for Cutlerville homes
Most Cutlerville calls are for flatwork, the slabs you walk and drive on. That means driveways, walks, steps and patios, plus garage floors and old slabs that have settled.
A backyard patio slab sized for how you'll use it. We slope it so rain runs away from the house instead of pooling by the back door.
Concrete that's pressed with a pattern and colored while it's still soft. It suits patios and walks where you'd like the look of stone or brick in one slab.
Front walks, side paths and replacement sections for homeowners tired of a heaved or tipped slab that catches a toe or holds a puddle.
A new floor for an attached or detached garage. We pour it over a packed base and pitch it toward the door so melted snow drains out.
Colored, exposed-aggregate or textured finishes for homeowners who'd like a patio, entry or walk to look like more than plain gray concrete.
Poured concrete walls that hold back soil where a yard drops off. We build them on a footing and drain them behind so water doesn't push the wall over.
Interior concrete floors for basements, workshops, sheds and small business spaces. We pour them flat and finish them smooth enough for the use you have in mind.
The slab around an in-ground pool. It gets a textured finish for bare feet and a slope that sends splash water to drains instead of back into the pool.
Concrete steps with even risers and a broom finish, a light swept texture that helps shoes grip. They replace old steps that have pulled away from the house.
A slab foundation for an addition, garage or outbuilding. Rebar, the steel bars that hold the concrete together, goes into the slab before the pour.
Poured foundation walls for additions, garages and new construction. We build them on footings and check them for level and square before anything goes up on them.
Concrete lots and aprons for small business owners. We lay them out so water drains off and pour them thick enough for the traffic the lot will carry.
The concrete pads and strips under decks, porches, additions and walls. We dig them to firm soil so whatever sits on them doesn't settle or lean.
Lifting a settled slab or foundation section back toward level. It's for homeowners who see a sunken walk or a gap opening up at the garage door.
Sawing clean openings in slabs and walls, or cutting out a damaged section for repair. We keep water on the blade to hold the dust down around your house.
Why Cutlerville homeowners call us for concrete
Cutlerville is mostly homes, and the concrete we're asked about here is the kind people use every day. That's the driveway, the front walk, the steps and the back patio, with the occasional small business lot. We're a concrete contractor based in Holland, MI, and we do the same work nearby in Wyoming, in Kentwood and over in Allendale. The price mostly follows the size of the slab, how much old concrete and soft ground has to come out, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on permits and on the weather on pour day. Your estimate gives you the figure for your own job.
Buck Creek runs through the community on its way north to the Grand River. On lots that drain toward the creek or other low ground, water usually decides how long a slab stays flat, so we look at the ground and where the water goes before we talk about finishes.
- Estimate written on site by the owner
- Base dug out and packed first
- Plain answers about what to expect
How we handle a job in Cutlerville
I come out first
I come out to your house, look at the slab, the ground and where the water runs, and write the estimate myself before anything is scheduled.
Permits before a date
We check with your city or township office about permits before we set a date, and we can file the application for you or help you with it.
Our own crew pours
Our own crew does the work with me on site, so the person who wrote your estimate is there when the base is packed and the concrete goes in.
Plain talk about cracks
New concrete can still crack, and I'd rather say so plainly. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight place to form.
- Written estimate before any work starts
- Old concrete broken out and hauled away
- Forms set and checked before the pour
- Steel reinforcement where the slab needs it
- Edges tooled clean and straight
- Lawn, beds and walks protected
- Site cleaned up at day's end
- A final walk-through with you
If the budget is tight, I'd keep the base and simplify the finish, because the base decides whether a Cutlerville slab stays flat.

Cutlerville concrete questions
Do I need a permit to pour concrete in Cutlerville?
Under Michigan's building permit rules, building a structure, or changing how one is used, needs a permit, and ordinary repairs don't. Repairs that cut walls or structural beams, change exits, or touch piping, wiring or other safety work don't count as ordinary. Whether your driveway or patio needs one is a question for the enforcing agency for your address, which may be the state, the county or a local office. We ask before we set a date.
Do I need a Kent County permit for concrete work near a county drain?
Yes, if the work crosses or connects to a county drain. The Kent County Drain Commissioner's Office requires a permit application and a review fee for that. Placing a permanent structure in a drain easement needs an Encroachment Permit, and the county's examples include fences, accessory buildings, signs, pools and some landscaping features. If your property has a drain easement, I'll look at it during the estimate, before we plan a slab or wall near it.
Who licenses contractors in Michigan, and how do I check a license?
The state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs licenses residential builders. Anyone building a home needs its Residential Builder license, with some exceptions in the law, and the same board licenses people who are paid to repair, alter or improve homes. You can look up boiler, electrical, elevator, mechanical and plumbing licenses with Verify a License on the state's construction codes site. We're licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask me about it when I come out.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Cutlerville?
The price comes down to your driveway's size and thickness, how much old concrete and soft soil we haul out, the reinforcement it needs and the finish you choose. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work. A tight spot for the truck, or permit work, can add to the cost. Your free on-site estimate gives you the figure for your own driveway.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it. Curing keeps strengthening the slab for days after the pour, and a car's weight put on it too soon can crack it. Cool weather slows curing down. Before we leave, we'll tell you when it's safe to walk on your slab and when you can drive on it, based on the weather that week.
What causes new concrete to crack, and will mine crack like the old one?
Most cracking comes from a base that settles, from water freezing under the slab, from a pour finished in the heat, or from joints cut late or skipped. Any slab can crack, and I won't tell you otherwise. We dig out and pack the base, send the water away from the slab and cut the joints on time. If a crack does form, it usually follows a joint instead of wandering across the slab.
