Concrete work we do in Bridgeton
Most Bridgeton calls are for worn driveways, walks and steps on established houses. We also pour slabs and footings when someone adds a garage or replaces a tired lot.
A plain concrete patio off the back door, sloped so rain runs away from the house and sized for the table and grill you actually use.
Concrete pressed with a pattern and colored to look like stone, brick or slate, for patios, walks and pool decks where plain gray won't do.
Front walks and side paths with a broom finish, a light brushed texture that keeps feet from slipping when it's wet, and edges that sit flush.
A new garage floor poured over a packed base, for a cracked or sunken floor in an older garage or a new garage going up.
Colored, stained or textured concrete for homeowners who want a patio, walk or entry with some character instead of a plain gray slab.
Poured concrete walls that hold back soil on a sloped yard, with drainage behind them so water doesn't build up and push the wall over.
Interior concrete floors for basements, shops and additions, poured level and finished smooth enough for whatever flooring or use comes next.
Concrete decks around in-ground pools, with a finish that grips wet feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and house.
Front and back steps poured in place, with even rises so nobody catches a toe, for steps that have cracked, settled or pulled away.
Slab foundations for garages, sheds and additions, set on a dug-out, packed base so the building above isn't sitting on loose fill.
Footings and foundation walls for new garages, additions and homes, formed and poured for builders and property owners to the plans the job is permitted under.
Concrete lots and drives for property owners and businesses, built on a heavier base with drainage laid out before the first truck arrives.
Concrete footings, the buried base that carries a deck, porch, addition or wall, dug to the depth the plans call for and poured solid.
Raising a slab or foundation that has sunk, for driveways, walks and floors that have dropped and left a step, a gap or pooled water.
Saw cutting concrete for a new doorway, a drain line or a cleaner tear-out, so we remove only the section that has to go.
Why Bridgeton homeowners call an O'Fallon crew
We're a concrete contractor in O'Fallon, MO, and Bridgeton is one of the St. Louis County cities we work in, along with neighbors like Hazelwood and Saint Ann. Most of the houses we see here are in established neighborhoods. The calls are for driveways that have settled, walks that heave at a joint and front steps that have pulled away from the house, with a few garage slabs and small lots mixed in.
On houses like these, the job usually starts with tear-out, because the old slab has to come up before we can see what it was sitting on. What we find under it decides how much base work your new concrete needs, more than anything on top.

How we handle a Bridgeton job
I do the estimate
I come out to your Bridgeton house, look at the job and write the estimate myself, and our crew handles the forming, pouring and finishing.
Permits checked first
Rules differ from city to city, so we check with the offices covering your address before we schedule. When a permit is needed, we handle the paperwork and inspections.
What sets your price and dates
Size, tear-out and hauling, base work and the finish move the price, while permit review and the curing wait move the dates. Your written estimate lists what's included.
Base comes before finish
The base is hidden by day one, so it's the first thing people want to cut. We'd rather trim the finish, because a surface still cracks over a bad base.
- Base dug out and packed, not raked
- Slope checked so water runs away
- Pours scheduled clear of midday heat
- Control joints cut while concrete is fresh
- Steel placed where the slab needs it
- Forms checked before the first truck
- Old concrete hauled off when included
- Questions answered before anything is signed
Most concrete problems I see start before the pour, so that's where we spend our time in Bridgeton: the base, the water and the schedule.
Is your Bridgeton driveway or walk due for work?
On established houses, concrete wears out slowly, so it's easy to stop noticing. Any of these is worth a look before it turns into a tripping spot or water at the foundation.
- Cracks that keep getting wider
- One slab sitting lower than the next
- Water pooling against the foundation
- Steps pulling away from the house
- Chipping or flaking on the surface
- A raised walk edge you trip on
- Dusty, crumbling top on the driveway
- Gaps opening under a slab edge

Bridgeton concrete questions
Do I need a permit to replace a concrete driveway in Bridgeton?
Bridgeton's permit list doesn't name driveways or patios, so the Building Department, which issues residential permits, is the place to ask. Its list does name additions, decks, fences, garages, pools and retaining walls over 4 feet, so footings for a new garage or a wall that tall come under it. We sort this out as part of the permit check we do before scheduling.
How long does permit review take in Bridgeton?
The city's building permits page asks you to allow about 10 to 15 business days, or about four to six weeks when its Design and Review Board has to approve the project, as it does for additions and exterior alterations. Permits are reviewed first come, first served with no expediting, and work can't start until the permit is issued and the fee is paid, so we build that wait into your dates.
Who issues plumbing and electrical permits in Bridgeton?
St. Louis County Public Works issues all mechanical, electrical and plumbing permits for Bridgeton, while the city's Building Department handles building permits. That can matter on a garage or floor job if a drain or wiring goes in before the pour, because that permit comes from the county, not the city.
Do contractors need a business license to work in Bridgeton?
Bridgeton has a "Contractor Not in City Limits" license for contractor businesses with no office in the city, and its examples are HVAC, plumbing and roofing contractors who work there on a recurring basis. If you want to check whether a contractor needs it, the City Clerk's office handles business licenses. We're licensed and insured, and you're welcome to ask us about it at the estimate.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Bridgeton?
The price comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, whether the old concrete has to be torn out and hauled away, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work, and a permit adds its fee and review time. I'll give you a written figure at the free on-site estimate, with what's included and what isn't.
How long does it take before I can drive on a new driveway in Bridgeton?
Plan on a few days before you walk on new concrete and longer before you drive on it, because curing, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, needs that time undisturbed. Before that, the job runs in order: tear-out, base, forms, pour and finish, plus any permit review. I'll lay out your dates at the estimate so you know when the car moves to the street.
