Customers often highlight the crew’s workmanship on driveway replacements and entry steps, along with respectful communication throughout the job. Several reviews mention timely follow-up when issues arise, including returning to address a cracked section. Homeowners also note clear estimates and a clean jobsite after tear-out and pour. Scheduling can take time during busy seasons, but most say the results were worth the wait.

I had new steps and sidewalk poured last year by Mike and his team. I noticed one of the slabs had begun to crack outside the seam. I called Better Concrete and Mike was over within a very short time. His team replaced the cracked portion in a very timely manner. What great service. Highly recommend.

Tip for Seniors: Use this guy for your concrete work. Fair price, very good workmanship, and nice guys to work with. Mike and his Foreman Taylor and the rest of the crew worked hard to give us the best driveway in the neighborhood.

I had a fantastic experience with Better Concrete. I needed a new driveway and spent several weeks getting different bids and talking with different contractors before choosing Mike w/ Better Concrete.

There might be cheaper companies out there, but I don’t think you’ll find better.

Mike’s been doing this since 1991 and he knows exactly what he’s doing. He handled everything … permits, city inspections, all of it … which made the whole process easy on my end. I never felt like I was chasing down answers or trying to figure things out on my own.

Jesse and Taylor ran the job and have both been with Mike for more than 20 years. They showed up when they said they would, let me know the plan for each day, and did exactly what they promised. I appreciated that they took the time to answer all my questions and explain things along the way.

From start to finish, it was smooth and straightforward. If you want the job done right and don’t want to worry about surprises, I’d definitely recommend Better Concrete.

Tony Schappaugh on Better Concrete Construction

We could not be happier with the work done by Better Concrete Construction Company (BCCC) and would highly recommend them to anyone needing concrete work done for their home.

The driveway on our 23-year-old house was in such bad shape that we needed to replace it. We chose BCCC because of their reputation and guarantee. It took some time between signing the estimate and having the work done because they are in such high demand, but it was worth the wait. The work was completed in 2 and a half days. The crew was polite and professional, and the finished work was exceptional. Our driveway, which had been both dangerous and an eyesore, was replaced by a beautiful new one that immediately drew praise from our neighbors.

The finished driveway wasn't just good-looking—their motto "Professionally Engineered Concrete" rang true. They took special care with the ground that had settled by installing a firm base. They attached plenty of rebar to connect the driveway to the garage floor to prevent future sinking. They used smaller slab panels—three across instead of two—to prevent cracking. Finally, the sides of the driveway extended all the way to the ground with none of the base exposed.

One last detail: we had a downspout buried and rerouted into the yard, which previously had drained onto the driveway. After the job was completed, we discovered that the exit for the new drain was set too low and would have been buried when we regraded our lawn. After contacting BCCC, a supervisor came to our house and fixed the issue at no additional charge. I believe this shows their attention to detail and commitment to customer service.

Who gets excited about a new driveway & sidewalk?. Well I would have never imagined it would be me! Better Concrete did an amazing job from start to finish and beyond! We were impressed with Taylor upon our first visit. He knows this business! And Mike the owner, was great to work with as well. Taylor was on the job everyday. Mike was here for the pour, not just to observe but he was right in there working alongside his employees, he also came by after to make sure everything was as it should be. Everyone was respectful and they cleaned up everything very well. Our pour was Oct. 31. I was concerned for the trick-or-treaters. The crew was on it and did a nice job of securing the area around the driveway so no littles would hurt themselves or the newly poured concrete. They did an awesome job on our driveway and the sidewalk. I highly recommend Better Concrete! Bill & Barb

Frequently Asked Questions

Common projects include driveway tear-out and replacement, sidewalks and walkways, front steps and stoops, and patio or slab flatwork. Smaller approach slabs and extensions are also available depending on site conditions.

Most residential driveways are completed over several days, including demolition, base preparation, forming, and pouring. Cure time is required before driving on the new surface, and your crew will provide guidance for foot and vehicle traffic.

For projects that require municipal permits or inspections, coordination can be included as part of the process. Timing may vary by city requirements and workload.

Standard finishes include broom and trowel with properly placed control joints. Edging details and layout are planned to fit the site and help manage drainage away from structures.

Concrete can crack, but joints, base preparation, and proper curing help manage it. If a problem area appears, contact the office promptly so the team can review the site and discuss next steps.
