Residential and Commercial Flatwork Services

KRT Concrete Construction installs a wide range of concrete surfaces designed for homes, businesses, and industrial properties. Each project is carefully planned to ensure proper thickness, drainage, and finishing details.

Custom Concrete Driveways

Custom driveways provide both durability and visual appeal for your property. Our team can install decorative borders, colored accents, and stamped joint patterns to create a unique design. Driveways are typically installed between four and six inches thick and are sealed after installation to help protect the surface from winter salt and moisture.

Standard Concrete Driveways

Traditional concrete driveways provide a dependable and cost-effective solution for homeowners. These driveways are finished using either a California broom finish or a standard broom finish that improves traction during wet or icy conditions. Like our custom driveways, they are installed between four and six inches thick and sealed for protection.

Concrete Patios

A concrete patio creates a comfortable outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining guests. Our patios are typically installed four inches thick and finished with either a broom finish or a California broom finish. Decorative stamping and color options are also available for homeowners who want a more customized appearance.

Steps, Stoops, and Sidewalks

Steps, stoops, and sidewalks provide safe access around homes and buildings. These surfaces are installed with durable concrete and finished with broom textures to help improve traction. Most installations are completed at four inches thick to provide strength and stability.

Garage Floors

Concrete garage floors are designed to handle vehicles, equipment, and everyday use. Our garage floors are installed between four and six inches thick with a smooth finish that allows water and snow runoff to drain easily from vehicles during winter months.

Tool Shed Slabs and Pole Barn Floors

Concrete slabs provide a stable base for sheds and pole barn structures. Tool shed slabs and pole barn floors are typically installed between four and eight inches thick depending on the type of building and its intended use.

Footings, Foundations, and Trench Foundations

Footings and foundation walls provide essential structural support for buildings and construction projects. Standard concrete footings are typically installed around ten inches thick. For room additions or certain structural installations, trench foundations measuring approximately eight inches wide and forty-two inches deep may be used.

Curbs and ADA Accessible Ramps

Concrete curbs and gutters are commonly installed in parking lots, roadways, and commercial developments to help control drainage and traffic flow. Our team also installs ADA-compliant ramps that improve accessibility at building entrances and pedestrian crossings.

Decorative Stamped and Colored Concrete

Decorative concrete offers an attractive alternative to traditional flat surfaces. Stamped and colored concrete can replicate the appearance of brick, slate, stone, fieldstone, or wood planking while maintaining the strength of concrete. These options allow property owners to create visually unique patios, driveways, and walkways.

Concrete Sealing

Applying a quality sealer helps protect concrete from stains, moisture, oil, rust, and winter salt. Sealing also reduces surface damage such as pitting or spalling during freeze and thaw cycles. Decorative stamped and colored concrete should typically be resealed every two years to maintain its appearance and protection.

Power Washing and Resealing of Existing Concrete

Concrete driveways, patios, and sidewalks are constantly exposed to weather, traffic, and daily use, leading to stains, discoloration, and buildup over time. Professional power washing removes dirt, grease, mold, and other contaminants to restore the natural look of the surface and enhance curb appeal, while resealing adds a protective barrier against moisture, stains, and wear—keeping concrete cleaner, stronger, and more attractive for years to come.

Building Permits

In today’s economy, building permits are required for nearly every phase of construction. From our standpoint, permits are a good thing because they help protect the homeowner and ensure that the contractor’s work meets local building codes.

Obtaining the proper permit can sometimes be a hassle if you are not sure what documentation is required. At K.R.T Concrete Inc., we can obtain the necessary permits for your project at the cost of the permit so the work can proceed smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Recycling

Fifteen years ago or more, when old concrete was removed from a job site, it was commonly hauled directly to landfills. Today, we take a more responsible approach. The concrete we remove is transported to crushing facilities where it is processed into gravel. That recycled material is then sold back and used in subgrade preparation for new projects.

Asphalt is handled in the same way. It is hauled to a crusher, ground down, and reused in streets, driveways, and parking lots. When choosing a contractor, it is important to work with a company that values environmentally responsible practices and operates as a green company.

Helpful Hints

1. Removing oil or grease stains:

If you have oil or grease stains on your driveway, there is a simple way to clean them from concrete. First, blot up any excess oil or grease. Next, spray the stained area with WD-40, making sure the stain is thoroughly soaked. Allow it to sit for about five minutes, then blot the area again. Older stains may require repeated treatments. Once the area dries, the stain should be gone.

2. Avoid using rock salt on new concrete:

Do not apply rock salt to brand new concrete unless it has been sealed. Rock salt can damage the surface of unsealed concrete and cause the top layer to deteriorate.
