Caliber Little Rock Concrete Company pours driveways, patios, steps and slabs for homes in Bryant, AR. I look at every job myself, and our crew digs out and packs the base before any concrete shows up.
We're a concrete contractor based in Little Rock, AR, a short run up I-30 from Bryant, and most of our calls here come from homeowners. Much of Bryant is subdivisions built over the last few decades, with attached garages, wide driveways and backyards left in grass. Older houses sit closer to the middle of town, and businesses line the interstate. It's the same kind of work we do next door in Benton.
The houses decide what the job is. On the newer places, it's usually a sunk garage apron, a cracked driveway or a bare backyard that needs a patio. On the older ones, it's walks and steps that have heaved or broken up and have to come out before anything new goes in.
A new driveway is mostly about what's under it, so we dig out, pack a fresh base and lay rebar, steel that holds cracked pieces together.
Explore serviceWant a patio where the backyard is still grass? We size it for the table and grill you'll use, and plan where water runs before we form it.
Explore serviceStamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick. The pattern and color go in at the pour, so you pick them ahead.
Explore serviceWe replace broken or heaved walks from the drive to the front door, with a broom finish, a brushed texture that keeps shoes from slipping when it's wet.
Explore serviceFor a garage floor, we break out the cracked or sunken slab, rebuild the base and pour it to fall toward the door so water runs out.
Explore serviceDecorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and borders on driveways and patios. We'll tell you which finishes stand up to cars and which are for foot traffic.
Explore serviceWhere a yard drops off toward the street or a neighbor, a poured wall holds the dirt. Drainage behind it matters as much as the wall itself.
Explore serviceWe pour interior floors for shops, workrooms and additions, set to the height and flatness the finished floor needs, with joints placed where they'll stay out of sight.
Explore serviceA pool deck has to drain away from the pool and give bare feet some grip, so we plan the slope and the finish together.
Explore serviceFront steps that have settled or pulled away from the porch get torn out and re-formed, with even rises so nobody catches a toe.
Explore serviceWe pour slab foundations for new houses, garages and shops, with the dig, the base and the plumbing layout checked before the truck shows up.
Explore serviceBuilding on a lot? We lay out the foundation to your plans, dig and form to the depths they call for, and pour it square and level.
Explore serviceFor a business lot, we pour thicker concrete with steel in it so the edges hold up to trucks, and pitch it so rain runs off.
Explore serviceFootings are the wide concrete under a wall, a post or a porch. We dig them down to firm dirt so what sits on top stays put.
Explore serviceA sinking slab or foundation corner needs a reason before a fix, so I look at what's under it before we talk about lifting it back.
Explore serviceWe saw-cut concrete to take out one broken section, open a trench for a pipe or cut joints in a slab that never got them.
Explore servicePermits here go through the city's Planning and Development department, which handles permits, zoning and inspections in Bryant. When your job needs one, your start date waits on it, so I check with them for your address and we handle the paperwork. Before you hire anybody, ask for two things. One is an Arkansas contractor license from the Residential Contractors Committee, and the other is a current Bryant business license, which the city makes every business renew each year. We're fully licensed and insured.
Price comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how deep we dig for a good base, how close the truck can get, and the finish, since stamped or colored work costs more than a plain broom finish. The schedule turns on the permit, the weather and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before you walk or drive on it. I'll give you the number for your job when I come out. We pour the same driveways and patios up in Maumelle, but Bryant has its own permit office and its own flood map, so I don't carry assumptions from one city to the next.
Send us a few lines about the driveway, patio or slab you have in mind and we'll reply within one business day. I'll set a time to come out, look at the ground and the water, and give you the estimate myself, free and with no obligation. If you go ahead, our own crew does the work with me running the job on site.
(501) 274-1092Most build-outs and renovations in Bryant need a permit, the city says, but its lists don't name every concrete job. The city's permits and fees page covers building and right-of-way permits among others, so the answer depends on what we're pouring and where. That's part of what I sort out at the estimate, and we file the paperwork when one's needed.
Yes, for most home jobs. Arkansas requires home improvement contractors to be licensed by the Residential Contractors Committee unless they're exempt, and that covers anyone who bids on, contracts for or manages repairs, alterations or additions to an existing single family house or the property it sits on. Jobs of $2,000 or less are exempt, unless the work gets split into smaller contracts to stay under that line. A Limited license covers home jobs under $50,000, labor and material included, and an Unlimited license covers any size.
For a one or two family house, Bryant charges $0.14 per square foot of area under roof, with a minimum of $150.00 for a new building, $100.00 for an addition and $40.00 for an accessory building. That fee is doubled if work starts before the permit is issued, which is one more reason I get the permit sorted before we start. It's the number that matters when we're pouring a slab or footings for a new house, an addition or an outbuilding.
Bryant is one of the cities around Little Rock where we pour driveways, patios, steps and foundations. The list has the others with their own page, and if your city isn't on it, call and ask.
Water gets in under a cracked or sunken slab and washes out more of the base every time it rains, so call (501) 274-1092 or send the form before there's more to tear out.
If you've got a question about a crack, a low spot or a new pour, call (501) 274-1092 and I'll give you a straight answer.
