Concrete

Discover what is concrete and how our expert team at New Vision Construction uses superior quality materials to ensure durable foundations, driveways, and patios for your new home construction project.

Concrete

Driveways, slabs, patios and footings.

Concrete flatwork and structural concrete in Fort Wayne. In a freeze-thaw climate concrete fails from what is under it and how it was finished, far more often than from the mix.

  • Driveways, aprons and parking pads
  • Garage, shop and pole barn slabs
  • Patios, walkways and steps
  • Footings and foundation work
  • Tear-out and replacement of failed concrete
  • Reinforcement, control joints and proper finishing

Why concrete cracks

Three causes, and only one of them is the concrete.

If someone quotes flatwork without talking about the base, they are quoting the wrong job.

The base

Concrete is only as stable as what it sits on. Compacted stone of the right depth is the difference between a flat drive in ten years and a cracked one in two.

Control joints

Concrete will crack. Joints cut at the right spacing and depth decide whether it cracks where you planned or across the middle.

The finish and the weather

Finishing too early traps bleed water and makes a surface that spalls the first winter. Pour timing here is not flexible.

Worked with us?A review takes about thirty seconds and it is the biggest help you can give a family business.

How it runs

Pour day.

What happens, in order.

01

Layout and excavation

Marked out, dug to depth, and any old concrete removed.

02

Base and forms

Stone base placed and compacted, forms set to the grade that drains water away from the house.

03

Reinforcement and pour

Rebar or mesh as the job calls for, then the pour, screeded and floated.

04

Finish and joints

Surface finished to the texture agreed, control joints cut, and clear instructions on when to drive on it.

Questions

Before you call.

What people ask us most on this kind of job.

How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Usually about a week for cars, longer for anything heavy. We will give you the exact window for your pour and the weather it went in under.
Can you replace just the cracked section?
Sometimes. If the base failed, patching buys a season. We will tell you which one you are looking at.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free on every job. If you want a rough number before anyone drives out, send photos and a description and we can usually get close on the phone.
What areas do you build in?
Fort Wayne and the surrounding Allen County area, including New Haven and Huntington. If you are outside that, call (260) 602-0054 and ask rather than assume.
Are you licensed, insured and bonded?
We are insured and bonded, and we are a family-owned company based on Keystone Drive in Fort Wayne. Proof of insurance goes out before work starts if you want it, and permits and inspections are ours to handle.
How do you handle changes once work has started?
In writing, before we carry on. You get the cost of the change and you approve it. Nothing gets added quietly and presented at the end.

Next step

Send a photo of the drive.

We can usually tell from a picture whether you need a repair or a replacement.
