This cost-effective solution offers the appearance of premium materials with the durability and lower maintenance requirements of concrete.
Custom Swimming Pools
We design and install award-winning in-ground swimming pools tailored to each client's backyard space. Our comprehensive service includes pool structure construction, surrounding concrete decking, and integration with landscaping elements. With expertise since 1988, we create functional aquatic spaces that enhance property value and outdoor living experiences.
Concrete Resurfacing
Our resurfacing solutions restore worn or discolored concrete surfaces to like-new condition. Using advanced techniques to blend multiple pours and apply protective sealers, we address surface imperfections while extending the lifespan of existing concrete structures. This service revitalizes driveways, patios, and pool decks with minimal disruption.
Foundation Work
We provide professional foundation services for residential and light commercial projects, ensuring proper structural support for buildings and outdoor features. Our expertise includes precise excavation, formwork, and concrete pouring techniques that create stable, long-lasting foundations for various construction applications.

As is written in local social pages about this company is true. They ghost you. They quote or respond and then ignore you. I was ready to Move on a 5k project but they have since been ignoring text messages. Seems to be common occurrence with them.

Did an excellent job pouring a new patio space and repairing sidewalks. Couldn't have asked for a nicer group of guys to do the job. It took them a while to get to our job (no fault of their own...weather uncopperative) but once they did they did a great job.

Responsiveness TERRIBLE, aside from the contractor we met.
Messy, I now have to haul off hundreds (possibly) 1,000lbs of concrete.. That's after MY HUSBAND and I jackhammered the dried concrete. They had ZERO problems collecting the 50% upfront but literally 1.5 moths for job to be started, with ZERO contact from owners that they have in THEIR contract. Will not refer nor use again!
Heed the warnings people, if these reviews are written the company is garbage.

Contractor was great in the beginning, all started out nicely. Contract signed, 50% paid and then NOTHING! Contract states that we will be contacted within 72hrs by the owner, didnt happen. My husband who initially started this, had impromptu travel so this became my headache.
Called the company 3 days in a row at different hours; NO ANSWER. Im human, I get it; people eat and get busy, but 3 days in a row?? So I called my husband to give me the cell number of the contractor, he called me back right away and let me know that we were 3rd in line. Some contracts got backed up due to rain

First impressions were good. Professional. But after that it was all down hill. I had to constantly texted call and email to get any type of updates on the job, witch I didn't always get a response. Only after threatening to get a refund they finally came out to start the job a week after the contract was stated for. It then still took over a week for them to somewhat complete the job. After it was done another week and a half for them to come back and remove some of the forms. The attention to detail was over looked no care was given to the end product. Will not/never recommend then to anyone

I called Western Branch Concrete for an estimate to complete a driveway in concrete. No one answered when I called so I left a message. That same night I did receive a call back from the company representative and told him what I was looking to have completed and wanted to have someone come out and give me an estimate. During our phone call he was very rushed and made it seem like I was inconveniencing him. He asked for my information which I gave him and said they would get back to me with an estimate. Its been over a week and still havent heard anything from them. They seem very unprofessional
