Concrete work, from base to finish
Concrete work for Liberal, Kansas homes and businesses
Premier Liberal Concrete handles 16 kinds of concrete work in Liberal, from a new driveway or patio to footings, foundations and parking lots. The price usually turns on the size of the area, what has to be torn out, how much base work the ground needs, the slab thickness and the finish you choose. Stamped and decorative work takes more hands and time than a broom finish, the light texture that gives shoes and tires some grip. The schedule mostly turns on the weather and on any city permit the job needs. Your written estimate spells out what's included and what isn't, so you see your own figure.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways, digging out and packing the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, so your drive has firm ground under it.
Concrete patio construction
Want a spot to sit outside? We pour concrete patios for back yards and set a gentle slope so rain runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio, walk or drive the look of stone, brick or tile, pressed into the surface while it's fresh and colored to suit your house.
Concrete sidewalk building
Every sidewalk and front walk we build for homes and businesses gets control joints, shallow grooves cut on purpose, so any cracks tend to follow lines we chose.
Garage floor concrete
Is your garage floor cracked, sunken or chipping? We pour new garage slabs built for vehicle weight and sloped so water drains toward the door.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete means color, exposed stone and custom finishes on patios, entries and walks, for owners who want more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
When a slope keeps washing into your yard or drive, a concrete retaining wall holds the soil back and gives you level ground to use.
Concrete floor installation
We install concrete floors for basements, shops, barns and commercial spaces, poured level over a packed base so the floor has even support under daily use.
Concrete pool decks
What goes around a pool? We pour concrete pool decks with a textured surface for wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away.
Concrete steps construction
Our new concrete steps for front doors, porches and back entries get even step heights and rebar, steel bars inside that tie them together.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is one poured base under a new home, addition, garage or shop, and we set it on packed ground with steel placed to the plans.
Foundation installation
Building or adding on? We install poured concrete foundations planned around what goes on top, from a detached garage to a full house.
Concrete parking lot building
For businesses, churches and apartment properties, we build concrete parking lots with a base made for traffic and drainage worked out before the pour.
Concrete footings
Footings are the wide concrete base under walls, posts and decks that spreads the weight into the ground, and we dig and pour them for the load above.
Foundation raising
Is a slab or foundation sinking, leaving doors sticking or floors uneven? We raise settled concrete back toward level and look for what let it drop.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway, trench or damaged section opened up? We saw-cut concrete for new openings, utility lines, repairs and control joints on fresh slabs.
How a job goes, start to finish
You call or write to us
When you call or send the form, we reply within one business day and find a time for me to come out to your property. If you can tell us roughly what you have in mind and where it goes, I'll arrive with the right questions.
I look at the site and write your estimate
I ask how you'll use the space, then check the ground, the slope and where water runs today. You get a free written estimate that explains what we'd do and why, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
We plan the work and build it
Once you decide to go ahead, we look into the city paperwork and plan the pour around the weather. I'm on site with our crew from setup through cleanup, so the person who planned your job is there while it's built.
What you can expect from us, before and after the pour
If you'd like to talk through your project, send us a note or call (620) 482-9704.
The person who writes your estimate works on your job
I come out to look at the job and write the estimate, and I'm there with our crew when it's built. Nothing you told me at the visit has to be passed along to someone who wasn't there.
Estimates that show what's included and what isn't
Each written estimate lists what's in the price and what's left out, so you can set ours beside another quote and compare them fairly. If a line isn't clear, I'm glad to go over it with you.
Base first, because it can't be fixed later
Everything on top depends on what's underneath, and the base is hidden the day we pour. When a budget gets tight, I'd keep the base dug out and packed and choose a simpler finish, because a weak base shows up as settling and cracks that only a tear-out fixes.
Every choice talked through before we pour
Concrete is hard to undo, so I'd rather spend extra time planning than ask you to live with a guess. We go over thickness, finish and where the water will run before any concrete arrives.
Questions we hear before a pour, answered plainly
How much does new concrete cost in Liberal, KS?
There's no single price, because new concrete in Liberal costs more or less depending on the size of the area, what has to be torn out, how much base the ground needs, the thickness and the finish. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work, and a slab that carries trucks needs more thickness and steel than a patio. Your free estimate at your property puts a written figure on your job.
Why is one concrete quote so much lower than another?
Usually the lower quote leaves something out or plans to charge for it later, such as tearing out the old slab, digging out and packing the base, steel in the slab or hauling away debris. Ask each contractor how deep they dig and how they pack the base, because that's the part you can't see once the slab is down.
How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced?
You'll be without it through the tear-out, the base work and the pour, then through curing, the wait while the concrete hardens enough to take weight. The weather and any permit wait move the dates most, and I'll tell you before we start when it should be ready to walk on and when it should be ready to drive on.
Does a concrete contractor need a license to work in Liberal, KS?
Yes, the City of Liberal requires a concrete contractor you hire to be licensed by the city, and every contractor has to carry at least $500,000 in general liability insurance with the city as certificate holder. Any business working inside city limits also needs a city business license, even one from out of town that only works here now and then. We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to ask us about it.
Do I need a permit for a concrete project in Liberal?
Check before you pour, because the city posts its own permit application for concrete work and its Building and Code Enforcement Department answers permit questions at (620) 626-2261. We check with the department about your job and take care of the permit when one is required. You can also take out the permit yourself for the house you live in, and each job still needs the city's inspection and approval.
Is your concrete work guaranteed?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. Before we pour, your written estimate spells out what we're building and how, so we both know what the finished job should look like. If anything concerns you, please call me and we'll talk it through.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Most concrete develops some small cracks over time, so the goal is to keep them small and in places we chose. We dig out and pack the base, cut control joints while the slab is young, add rebar where the load calls for it, and stay away from pouring in the worst midday heat, which can leave a weak, dusty top.
How does Liberal's weather affect a concrete pour?
Liberal's building code rates the weathering here as severe, so we plan each pour around the forecast and the season instead of squeezing it in. Hot, windy afternoons can dry the surface before it's finished, so on those days we start early, and in cold weather fresh concrete has to be kept from freezing while it cures.
Working in Liberal and the cities around it
Liberal is home for our business, and the jobs we do here sit on the same streets you drive every day, past the Mid-America Air Museum, which the city owns and runs, with its historic aircraft and exhibits. Many families have also taken guests to Dorothy's House for the farmhouse tour and the free local history museum on the same grounds, and Arkalon Park out in the Cimarron River valley offers campsites, a sheltered picnic area and nature trails.
Around the city we see older driveways and walks that have settled or cracked, newer homes adding patios and shops, and businesses that need lots and floors that carry steady traffic. If you're planning a new foundation or slab, the city's flood map service shows the mapped floodplains and base flood elevations, and it's worth a look before we plan the job together.
