About our Helena concrete contractor company
Our story starts on my dad's crews
I grew up pouring concrete beside my dad around Helena, and I spent years on his crews before I started Helena Concrete in 2021. He taught me to slow down on the prep and keep my word on the small stuff, and I still run every job that way. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, steps and garage floors, and builders call us for footings and foundations.
What I care about most is the part you won't see once we leave, the ground under the slab and where the water goes when it runs off. Helena ground freezes deep, which is why the city wants footings at least 42 inches down, and a slab sitting on dirt that was only raked level tends to move with the frost. I'd rather spend the time on the subgrade, the packed ground the concrete sits on, than come back later to a sunken, cracked slab. You can see the work we do across the rest of the site.
What working with us looks like on your job
These are the things you'll notice from the first visit to the day the slab cures, the slow set before it's ready for weight. They come from how I learned the trade.
The same person from estimate to pour
I come out to look at your job and write the estimate, then I work on it alongside a small crew. What we talked over in your driveway is what gets built, because nothing gets handed off to someone who wasn't there.
Your choices explained in plain words
We walk you through the mix, the control joints that give the slab a planned place to crack, and the timing of the pour. That way you can set our bid next to another one and see what each actually covers.
Real time spent on the ground first
We dig out soft dirt, pack the base and check which way water will run so the slab falls away from your house. It's the first thing a tight budget cuts and the part nobody sees, but it's what keeps a driveway or patio flat and draining.
Licensing, insurance and permits for your job
Licensed and insured
Licensed and insured. If you'd like to see the paperwork before you decide, just ask at the estimate and I'll have it with me.
Permit paperwork handled
In Helena, the city's Building Division issues permits for building, altering or repairing a structure, and its list of work that skips a permit names things like fences and some decks, so it doesn't settle a slab job on its own. We find out which office covers your address and take care of the paperwork when your job calls for a permit, so contact us with your address and we'll start there.
