BJT Contracting Driveways, Patios & Walls Around Bonne Terre Around Bonne Terre

Mostly because of what's under them and what winter does to them. Water gets into the ground and the surface, then freezes and thaws over and over all winter, and road salt drips off your car onto the drive. A slab on a thin or soft base settles and sinks, and a surface that wasn't finished and cured right flakes and chips. That's why we start under the slab: a compacted base, steel reinforcement, a slope that sends water away from the house, control joints cut at the right spacing so the slab can move with the seasons, and a proper cure.

It depends on the job and the weather. Tim will tell you at the estimate what can be poured now and what should wait for warmer days.

Yes, the estimate is free. Tim comes out, looks at the job with you, and gives you a written, itemized estimate that spells out the base, the thickness, the reinforcement, and the start date. The price on your estimate is the price.

We are based in Bonne Terre and work St. Francois County, Jefferson County, and Washington County, including Park Hills, Desloge, Farmington, Leadington, Leadwood, Potosi, Bismarck, Fredericktown, Festus, Crystal City, Herculaneum, Pevely, Hillsboro, De Soto, Arnold, Imperial, and Barnhart. Don't see your town? Call us or send the short form and we will tell you whether we can take the job.

About a year after your job is done, Tim comes back out at no charge. He looks over the concrete, cleans it, reseals the joints, and touches up any settled edges. It's a maintenance visit, and it comes with every job.
