Concrete work for Jenison homes
Most Jenison calls are for flatwork, the driveways, patios, walks and steps you use every day, and we also pour garage floors, footings and foundations for additions and new homes.
A backyard slab for a table, a grill or a few chairs, sized to how you'll use it and finished smooth, broomed or stamped to suit the house.
Concrete pressed with a pattern and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios and walks where you want more than a plain gray slab.
Front walks and side paths poured to a steady width, with a broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives shoes grip on wet or icy mornings.
A new garage slab for homeowners whose old floor has cracked, heaved or pitted from years of road salt dripping off the car in winter.
Colored, scored or exposed-stone finishes for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry that matches the house rather than looking like a parking pad.
Poured walls that hold back soil on sloped yards, with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up and push the wall out of line.
Interior slabs for basements, workshops and outbuildings, poured flat and level over a packed base so the floor stays even under whatever you set on it.
The slab around an in-ground pool, finished for grip on bare feet and sloped so splash water runs to drains instead of toward the pool or house.
Front and back steps rebuilt with even risers and solid footings, for homeowners whose old steps have tipped, cracked or pulled away from the house.
A thickened concrete slab that serves as both floor and foundation, for garages, additions and outbuildings that sit right at ground level.
Poured footings and foundation walls for new homes and additions, set to the plans and checked for level before anything is built on top.
Concrete parking areas for small business owners, poured thicker where vehicles turn and sloped so rain and snowmelt drain off instead of sitting.
The concrete pads and trenches that carry a deck, porch, addition or garage, dug deep enough that winter frost doesn't lift what sits on them.
Lifting a settled slab or foundation back toward level, for homeowners seeing sloped floors, sinking steps or a gap opening between the slab and the house.
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for basement escape windows, new doorways and trenches, or to remove a broken section without cracking the rest.
Why Jenison homeowners call us for concrete
Jenison is part of Georgetown Charter Township, and most of our calls there come from streets of single-family homes whose driveways, walks and steps have been through a good many Michigan winters. We're based in Holland and do the same work next door in Hudsonville and Grandville, so Jenison is familiar ground for us. The price and the schedule depend on the size of your slab, your ground and the weather, so the free estimate I write on site is where you'll get your own figure.
The ground changes from one part of Jenison to the next, and yards closer to the Grand River tend to sit lower and hold water longer. That's why I look at what's under the old slab and where the water runs before I quote, because those two things decide how well new concrete holds up here.
- Base work done before any finish
- Straight talk about cracking and settling
- Same crew from tear-out to cleanup
How we handle a Jenison job
Estimate on site
I come out to your house, look at the slab, the ground and where the water runs, and write the estimate myself so nothing is guessed at.
Permit check first
Before we set a date, we check with the township about permits, and we can file the application for you or help you fill it out.
Base before finish
We dig out soft soil and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a base that's only raked level settles with the dirt.
Our crew, with me
Our own crew does the work and I'm on site with them, so the person who wrote your estimate is there for the pour and the cleanup.
- Old concrete hauled away, not buried
- Soft soil dug out and base packed
- Slope checked away from the house
- Steel reinforcing where the slab needs it
- Pours timed to miss the midday heat
- Joints cut on time to guide cracks
- Clear word on when to walk or drive
- Yard, curb and street cleaned up
- Licensed and insured
- Your satisfaction, guaranteed
New concrete can still crack, so we pack the base well and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give any crack a straight place to go.
What signs mean your Jenison concrete needs attention?
Winters here work on every slab, so these are worth a look each spring, after the freeze has had its turn and before small problems spread.
- Cracks that grow wider each spring
- One slab edge higher than the next
- Water pooling on the driveway
- Patio sloping toward the house
- Flaking or chipping on the surface
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Gaps opening along the garage floor
- Weeds growing up through cracks

Jenison concrete questions
Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Jenison, MI?
You might, and the township's permit list doesn't settle it for driveways or patios, so we check with the township before we set a date. The township's Building and Zoning Department takes permit applications for residential projects, issues a permit once the application meets building codes and zoning rules, and inspects the work on site. If your job needs one, we can file the application for you or help you with it.
How do I get a permit for a shed slab in Georgetown Township?
A shed over 200 square feet goes through the township's building permit application, and one of 200 square feet or less uses a shorter zoning compliance application. On the full application, the Zoning Department checks that the project fits the zoning rules, then sends it to Professional Code Inspections, who will contact you when the permit is ready to pick up. We'll confirm which one your shed needs before we pour the slab.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Jenison?
I price each driveway from its size and thickness, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose, so you'll get a figure after I've seen it. Low, wet spots that need soft soil dug out add cost, and stamped or colored finishes cost more than a broom finish. If the budget is tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, because the base is what keeps the slab from sinking.
Does a concrete contractor need a state license in Michigan?
In most cases yes, because Michigan licenses residential builders, and that covers anyone paid to build, repair, alter, add to or improve a home, with some exceptions. A maintenance and alteration contractor's license lists the trades the holder is qualified to do, such as concrete, masonry and basement waterproofing, so please ask to see it and check that concrete is on the list. We're licensed and insured.
How do I find my flood elevation in Jenison, MI?
Request it from Michigan's Water Resources Division, which takes all requests through its MiEnviro database and gives an estimated 100-year floodplain elevation for state-regulated floodplains or places where it has usable data. The township's floodplain page lists the area along the Grand River near Riverview Airport. If your lot is low or close to the river, that number is worth having before we set the height and slope of new concrete.
Do I need a soil erosion permit to cut an egress window in Jenison?
You may if your house is near a creek or other watercourse. The township says a soil erosion permit may be required for additions and egress windows, the escape windows cut into a basement wall, near a watercourse, and when it is, the township needs it before it releases the building permit. Those permits come from the Ottawa County Water Resources Commission at 616-994-4528, and we check on this before we schedule the cut.
What does Georgetown Township require for a new home foundation?
Where poured foundation walls sit below the average ground level of the lot, the township requires a foundation wall survey by a licensed surveyor for a new home. The Zoning Department has to approve that survey before the wall is inspected or construction goes further, so we plan our pour around that step.
