Concrete Contractor services in Baker
Most of the concrete we look at in Baker is fifty or sixty years old. The city filled in with slab ranch houses in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and many still have the original single-width driveway and front walk. That concrete was often poured thin, with little steel and few joints, on clay that swells in a wet winter and shrinks in a dry August. The result is the pattern you see up and down these streets: long cracks, corners that have dropped, and a low spot where water sits by the carport. Parts of Baker also flooded in 2016. Many streets drain to open ditches, so a driveway crosses a culvert pipe on its way to the road. When we quote in Baker, the usual question is whether to patch one more time or replace, and we give a straight answer either way.

Permits and local rules
Baker handles permits inside its city limits. A driveway that crosses a roadside ditch involves the culvert and the right of way as well as the slab, so ask the city what approval that part needs before the old concrete comes out.
