Concrete Contractors in Hampton, VA

If you are comparing concrete contractors in Hampton, it helps to work with a crew that plans around water first. Hampton covers 136.30 square miles, and 84.84 of those are water, about 62 percent of the city. Wikipedia lists the elevation at 10 feet. Colonists founded a town and church here on July 9, 1610, and Hampton claims to be the oldest continuously occupied English settlement in the United States. The 2020 census counted 137,148 residents. We pour driveways, patios, stamped concrete, sidewalks and steps, garage and shed slabs, and we repair concrete that has cracked or settled.

Storms are part of the plan

When Hurricane Isabel approached in September 2003, Hampton issued the state's first mandatory evacuation, about 35 hours before landfall. Waves reached about 20 feet offshore, the pier at Buckroe Beach was destroyed, and Langley Air Force Base ordered about 6,000 workers to leave because of flood risk. Storms like that are rare, but heavy rain and high tides are not. A slab that sits low or drains toward a foundation will show it. We set grade on every driveway and patio so water moves to the street or a yard drain, and we compact a firm base so the slab does not settle into soft, wet ground.

Military and NASA neighbors

Hampton is home to Langley Air Force Base, which Wikipedia describes as the nation's first military installation dedicated solely to air power, and NASA's Langley Research Center, where the original Mercury astronauts trained. Bridges on Mercury Boulevard are named for them. Many Hampton households are military or federal families who need work done before a move, a sale or a change of station. Tell us your deadline and we will plan the pour and the cure time so the concrete is ready.

Older blocks and newer housing

The city includes the Downtown Hampton Historic District, and Phoebus, a former town that merged with Hampton on July 1, 1952, has its own historic district along Mellen and Mallory streets. Those areas often need front walks, stoops and narrow driveways replaced with care. Elsewhere, housing kept growing even while population held steady: the 2020 census counted 62,444 housing units, up from 57,311 in 2010. Newer homes tend to need patios, driveway widening and slabs for sheds or garages.

What we do in Hampton

• Driveways: replacements, widening, and aprons tied cleanly into the street

Fort Monroe and the shoreline

Fort Monroe at Old Point Comfort, completed in 1834, is described as the largest stone fort ever built in the United States. It was decommissioned as an Army post on September 15, 2011, and named a National Monument on November 1 that year. Homes near the shoreline face salt spray and wind-driven sand, which wear down concrete surfaces faster than inland. For those properties we use air-entrained mixes, a clean finish and a penetrating sealer, and we talk about maintenance before we leave. Call (757) 520-4973 to set up a visit anywhere in Hampton.
