Concrete you can drive, walk and build on in Sioux City, IA

Advanced Sioux City Concrete handles concrete work for homeowners, small businesses and builders, and we put most of our effort into the ground and the forms before the truck shows up.

Concrete work we do in Sioux City

Every job starts with me on site, measuring and checking the ground the slab will sit on. Size, thickness, base work and finish move the price, and prep and weather move the date. If the job's smaller than you thought, I'll say so.

  1. Concrete driveway building

    A new driveway on a base we dig out and pack, so it carries your car without sinking. Most calls start with cracks or pooling water.

  2. Concrete patio construction

    Patios are how I got into this trade. We set the slab to shed water away from the house, so you're not stepping around puddles after every rain.

  3. Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone, brick or slate.

  4. Concrete sidewalk building

    Front walks and side paths from the driveway to the door, with a broom finish, a light brushed texture, so they don't get slick when wet.

  5. Garage floor concrete

    A new garage floor, or a replacement for one that's cracked, sunk or flaking. We pour it thick enough for vehicles and slope it toward the door.

  6. Decorative concrete

    Color, exposed stone and scored patterns for when plain gray won't do. It runs more than a plain broom finish, and the base work under it is the same.

  7. Concrete retaining walls

    Poured walls that hold back a slope or a raised bed, with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up and push the wall over.

  8. Concrete floor installation

    Interior slabs for basements, shops and commercial spaces, poured level and finished smooth so flooring, shelving or equipment sits right on top.

  9. Concrete pool decks

    The slab around a pool needs grip when it's wet and a slope that runs splash water away from the pool and the house. We plan both.

  10. Concrete steps construction

    Front and back steps that are even from top to bottom, because one step taller than the rest is what trips people. We rebuild crumbling ones too.

  11. Slab foundation building

    A slab foundation for a garage, shop or addition, set on ground we've packed hard, with rebar inside, the steel that holds the slab together.

  12. Foundation installation

    Poured walls and footings for new homes, additions and outbuildings. We work from your plans and set the forms square before any concrete comes off the truck.

  13. Concrete parking lot building

    Parking lots and drive lanes for small businesses, built thicker than a home driveway, with drainage planned so water leaves the lot instead of sitting on it.

  14. Concrete footings

    Footings are the wide concrete pads under walls, posts and decks that spread the weight into the ground. We dig them to the depth your plans call for.

  15. Foundation raising

    When a slab or foundation has sunk, raising it back toward level can sometimes save tearing it out. We'll tell you which one it needs after we look.

  16. Concrete cutting

    Cutting openings, trenches or straight lines in existing concrete, for a new door, a plumbing run or a section that needs replacing without breaking up the rest.

Questions people ask before they call

Does my concrete project need a permit in Sioux City?

It depends on the job. The city's Inspections and Permit Services office issues building permits, and its examples include retaining walls over 48 inches tall and garages or other outbuildings over 120 square feet. For anything else, we check with whichever office your job falls under and pull any permit it needs.

Does Sioux City license concrete contractors?

No, the city doesn't issue general contractor licenses. It says contractors must be registered with the State of Iowa and file a $10,000 general building contractor's bond with the city before they can get building permits, so that's worth asking any contractor you're comparing.

What drives the cost of a concrete driveway or patio in Sioux City?

Size, thickness, how much dirt and old concrete has to come out, and the finish drive most of the price. If the budget gets tight, I'd cut the fancy finish before the base, because a bad base shows up as cracks and can't be fixed without tearing the slab out. Your free on-site estimate gives you your number.

Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?

Concrete cracks some, so the goal is cracks you won't notice. We dig out and pack the base so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt, slope it away from the house, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, before the slab picks its own spot.

How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

You'll walk on it well before you drive on it, because of curing, the slow hardening after the pour that builds the strength to carry a car. We'll tell you when to walk on your slab and when to drive on it before we pour.

Who do I call before digging in my yard in Sioux City?

Call Iowa One Call at 811 or 1-800-292-8989 before anyone digs, so buried lines get marked. The city advises it for any digging. If we're doing the digging on your job, that call is on our list before the first shovel goes in.

Do you pour concrete in South Sioux City and Le Mars?

Yes, we're based in Sioux City and work across the cities around it, including South Sioux City, NE, Sergeant Bluff, Le Mars and Vermillion, SD. Permits there go through that city or county's office, and we check with it before we start. Send the address and what you're planning through our contact page.
