Balch Springs Concrete is a concrete contractor working in Seagoville, TX. We pour driveways, patios, walks and garage floors for homeowners, and slabs and footings for builders and property owners across the city.
The calls we get from Seagoville mostly come from homeowners. It might be a driveway that has cracked across the middle or sunk where it meets the street, a back patio that holds water after a rain, a walk that's started to tip, or a slab for a new shed out back. Builders and property owners call us here for slabs and footings too, the same work we do back home in Balch Springs and over in Mesquite.
I can see the cracks at the estimate, but the subgrade, the dirt and base the slab sits on, only shows once the old concrete is out. That's usually where sinking starts, so our plan here begins below the slab with digging out what's soft and packing a firm base, and I'll tell you up front what I can't know until it's open.
We build concrete driveways on a base we dig out and pack, sloped so rain heads for the street instead of your garage door.
Explore serviceIf your back patio holds water, the fix is in the slope. Our concrete patio construction sets the slope away from the house before we talk about finish.
Explore serviceStamped concrete presses a stone or brick pattern into the surface while it's still soft, and it goes over the same packed base as plain concrete.
Explore serviceA walk with a lifted edge is easy to trip on. We pour concrete sidewalks level, with control joints, cut grooves that give cracks a place to go.
Explore serviceA garage floor carries cars and heavy shelving, so we plan the base and the steel for that load and slope the floor toward the door.
Explore serviceDecorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and patterned finishes for patios, walks and entries, and we pick the finish once the layout and drainage are settled.
Explore serviceWhen part of a yard needs holding back, we build concrete retaining walls on a solid footing with a way for water behind the wall to drain out.
Explore serviceConcrete floor installation covers interior slabs for shops and outbuildings, where a flat, level floor matters as much as what it sits on.
Explore serviceOur concrete pool decks get a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives wet feet some grip, and a slope that sends splash water away.
Explore serviceConcrete steps need even rises so nobody misjudges one, and I measure each step in the forms before the pour, since there's no fixing a step once it sets.
Explore serviceBuilders call us for slab foundations, where the drawings set the thickness and the rebar, steel bars that hold the slab together if it cracks.
Explore serviceFoundation installation is the full job under a new building, from layout and forms to the pour, and I check the forms twice before a truck is called.
Explore serviceFor a concrete parking lot, the plan turns on the traffic it carries and where the water goes, since a big flat area has to drain somewhere.
Explore serviceConcrete footings are the wider, deeper concrete under walls, posts and slab edges, and their size comes from the plans and what they'll carry.
Explore serviceIf a slab has sunk, foundation raising starts with finding out why it moved, because lifting it without fixing the cause doesn't buy you much.
Explore serviceWe do concrete cutting for openings, removals and joints, sawing a straight line so new work meets old concrete without a ragged edge.
Explore serviceSeagoville has its own Building Inspection Department, the office that issues construction permits and enforces the city's codes, and the city's permitting staff handle contractor registration along with permit applications. I check with the city on each job, and when the work needs a permit, we file it, book the inspections and tie the pour date to them, so the inspection calendar can set your start date as much as ours does. We're licensed and insured, and since registration and permits run through the same city office, it's fair to ask any contractor you're weighing how they'll handle both.
The price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base the job needs, how thick it has to be for what it carries, and the finish you pick. Timing turns on the permit when there is one and on curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you walk on it and longer before you drive on it. I walk the job, measure it and write down what the price covers, the same way we do in Heartland and Forney.
Send the form with what you need poured or replaced, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out myself to walk the job and measure it, then write down what the price covers. The estimate is free, and there's no obligation.
(214) 286-6733Ask the city before the pour, because its guidance doesn't settle driveways either way. The city issues permits for construction and other property improvements, and the work it says needs no permit is cosmetic, like painting, carpet and trim. When you're unsure, the city says to call the Building Inspections Department at 972-287-6829, and we check with them on every job we take.
Yes, the city says all retaining walls need a permit. A wall over 48 inches tall also needs engineered plans and design, so on a taller wall the engineering comes before we set any forms.
Plan on one, because the city says any accessory or storage building needs a permit. We size the slab to the shed you've picked and set the pour date around what the city asks for.
The city uses the International Code Council family of codes with its own amendments, and it enforces city and state codes for all buildings and structures. Those codes cover construction, alteration, repair, demolition and maintenance, and the inspections we book check the work against them.
