Caliber Little Rock Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Little Rock, AR. We pour driveways, patios, steps, slabs and retaining walls for homes in Maumelle, and we dig out and pack the base before any concrete shows up.
Most of what we're called for in Maumelle is in neighborhoods of single-family homes. A driveway runs from the garage out to a city sidewalk and the street, a walk leads to the front door, and a patio sits off the back. It's a short run from our base in Little Rock, and the work looks a lot like what we do in the neighborhoods of North Little Rock. Some folks want a slab fixed or replaced, and some want to add something, like a wider driveway or a bigger patio.
Old slabs here usually fail from underneath, not from the top. A driveway that's dropped at the garage or a patio holding water by the back door tells me the base settled or the water had nowhere to go, so we fix that first and pour after.
If your driveway has sunk at the garage or split down the middle, we tear it out, dig to firm ground and pack a new base first.
Explore serviceWe build back patios that slope water toward the yard, not the house, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight place to run.
Explore serviceWant the look of stone or brick without laying pavers? Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and colored while it's wet, so timing on pour day matters.
Explore serviceWe pour front walks and side paths that meet the driveway and steps flush, on a packed base, because a walk on loose fill sinks.
Explore serviceA garage floor carries your car's weight every day, so we plan rebar, the steel that ties the slab together, and slope it to drain toward the door.
Explore serviceDecorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and custom borders. We work out the look with you at the estimate, then build the slab under it like any other.
Explore serviceWhere your yard drops off, we build concrete retaining walls on poured footings with a way out for water behind them, because trapped water pushes walls over.
Explore serviceWe pour interior floors for shops, additions and outbuildings, with the subgrade, the ground the floor sits on, dug out and packed first.
Explore serviceA pool deck needs grip under wet feet and a slope that sends splash water away from the pool, so we plan both before we set forms.
Explore serviceCrumbling front steps are a trip hazard. We break them out and form new ones with even rises, tied into the walk so the two move together.
Explore serviceFor a new house or addition, we build the slab foundation to the plans, with thickened edges, steel and a packed base under the whole footprint.
Explore serviceBuilders call us to lay out, dig and pour foundations to the plans, because walls and floors are only as straight as what's under them.
Explore serviceProperty owners need a lot that carries delivery trucks and drains clean. We set thickness, steel and slope for the traffic it will actually get.
Explore serviceFootings are the concrete under a wall, porch or addition. We dig them to the size the plans call for and pour onto firm, undisturbed ground.
Explore serviceIf part of a slab or a porch has sunk, we raise it back toward level and deal with what let it drop, since lifting without that only buys time.
Explore serviceWe saw-cut openings, trenches and straight edges in existing slabs, so a plumbing repair or a new patio can tie in without breaking out more than needed.
Explore servicePermits in Maumelle come from the city's Planning and Permitting office. Its list of the most common permit work doesn't name driveways or patios, so I check with that office about your address and your job before we set a date, and when a permit is required we handle the paperwork. The wait for a permit and any inspection comes before the pour, so it can move your start. Before you hire anyone, ask for a current Arkansas contractor's license and proof of liability insurance, since the city asks for both on a residential building permit, and the city has every business in Maumelle register with it each year. We're fully licensed and insured.
The city enforces storm water drainage and erosion control rules, and most jobs here sit right where your yard meets a city sidewalk and the street, so we plan where the water goes and keep mud and washout out of the gutter. It's the same setup we use on jobs in Benton and the other cities around Little Rock.
Tell us what you want poured or fixed and where the house is. We reply within one business day to set a time, then I come out, look the job over and give you the estimate myself. It's free, and there's no obligation.
(501) 274-1092Yes, if it's over 4 feet tall, because the city's permit list names retaining walls over 4 feet among the common work that needs one. The city also tells homeowners to make sure the company they hire has bought the permit, and on our jobs we handle that paperwork. For a shorter wall, I still check with the city for your address before we dig.
Yes, Maumelle lets homeowners who live in the house make most repairs themselves, but anything on the city's permit list still needs a permit, and the work has to meet code and pass one or more inspections. You can start on the city's permit applications page. If you go that route, put your effort into the dig and the base, because that's where homemade slabs usually go wrong.
The city's residential permit submission list calls for two complete sets of plans, including a site plan, a floor plan, and footing and foundation plans and details. It also asks for the contractor's license and insurance papers mentioned above. We pour slabs and footings to those plans, so have them in hand when we price the foundation.
It may get a hairline crack, because nearly all concrete does, but we work to keep cracks small and in places we chose. That means a dug-out, packed base so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt, rebar where the load calls for it, and control joints cut on time so cracks follow the grooves. If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish before you cut the base, because nobody sees the base on day one but it decides how long the slab holds up.
We're based in Little Rock and work across central Arkansas, Maumelle included. These cities have their own pages, and if yours isn't listed, call and ask.
Call (501) 274-1092 or use the form, and I'll tell you straight on the first visit whether your concrete needs replacing or just a repair.
