About our Mason City concrete company
We're a concrete contractor in Mason City, IA, pouring driveways, patios, garage floors and foundations, and we put most of our effort into what sits underneath.
How I came to concrete in Mason City
I came to concrete later than most, after a long stretch in another line of work. I learned the trade on someone else's crew and started Mason City Concrete in 2020. Six years in, I'm still the one who comes out to look at your job and write the estimate.
Most of the concrete work we do comes from homeowners with a tired driveway, a city sidewalk notice, a garage floor that's had enough, or a new build that needs a foundation. I do the work with our own crew, and I stay with the job through the pour, so you're not handed off to someone who never saw your yard.
What's under the slab matters more than what's on top. The subgrade, the packed ground a slab sits on, is hidden on day one, and it's usually the first thing people want to cut from a budget. I'd rather spend the time there and on the mix than talk up the finish, because that's what decides how a driveway or patio holds up.
Plain answers, written quotes and no work you don't need
I'm blunt about what a job needs, and I'd rather lose a bid than sell you work you don't need. If a smaller job does what you're after, I'll say so. If it won't, I'll tell you why on the spot, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
You get the estimate in writing, with what's included and what isn't, so you can hold it up against anyone else's. We tell you early which city or county office your job goes through and handle the permit paperwork for our part, since whether a job needs one is that office's call.
Good concrete starts with the ground under it, and you should know what you're paying for.

I look at the job
I come out to see the old slab, check the ground and where the water runs, and answer your questions there.

The free estimate lays out what's included, what isn't and any options, and there's no pressure to book.
We prep, pour and finish
Our crew digs out and packs the base, pours, cuts control joints so cracks land where we chose, and cleans up.
