Concrete contractor services in Northport, AL
Northport Concrete is a concrete contractor in Northport, AL, with 16 kinds of work on the list, from a new driveway or patio to footings, foundations and parking lots. Most calls start with something you can see, like cracks, a sinking slab, water pooling by the house or a chipped surface. The price mostly turns on the size, how much old concrete has to come out, how much work the ground needs before we pour and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the weather, a permit if the job needs one and the time new concrete needs to cure, or harden, before it takes weight. Your free written estimate lays out what's included for your job.
Concrete driveway building
We tear out a worn driveway or pour a new one, digging out and packing the base first so the slab doesn't settle with the dirt under it.
Concrete patio construction
Want somewhere to sit out back? We build concrete patios off your house, sloped so rain runs away from your walls instead of toward them.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern and color while it's still soft, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick instead of plain gray.
Concrete sidewalk building
We build sidewalks and front walks with a broom finish, a brushed texture that gives your shoes some grip when the concrete is wet.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floors carry more weight than most slabs, so we pour them for houses and shops with steel rebar inside to hold the concrete together under cars and tools.
Decorative concrete
What's decorative concrete? It's color, exposed stone, scored lines or a sealed shine on a patio, walk or floor, for when you want the concrete to match the house.
Concrete retaining walls
Concrete retaining walls hold back a slope so soil stays off your yard or driveway, and we drain the ground behind them so water doesn't push them out.
Concrete floor installation
We install concrete floors in additions, shops, barns and commercial buildings, troweled smooth to stay as they are or left ready for the flooring that goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
Putting in a pool? We pour the deck around it with a finish that grips wet feet and a slope that sends splash water away from the house.
Concrete steps construction
Need steps at the front door or down a slope? We form them so every step is the same height, which makes them easy to climb.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is the poured floor a house, addition or garage sits right on, and we build it on dug-out, packed ground with steel rebar inside.
Foundation installation
For builders and homeowners adding on, we put in the foundations that carry the walls, whether the building sits on a slab or over a crawl space.
Concrete parking lot building
Businesses, churches and apartment owners get concrete parking lots from us, poured thick enough for daily traffic and sloped so rain heads to the drains.
Concrete footings
Footings are the wide concrete base under a wall, porch, deck post or addition, and we pour them down in firm ground so the weight spreads out.
Foundation raising
Floors sloping or doors sticking? Foundation raising lifts a settled slab back toward level from underneath, so you don't have to tear it out and start over.
Concrete cutting
Need a doorway, a trench or a broken section out of a slab? We saw-cut concrete along a clean line so the rest of the slab stays whole.
Why customers pick Northport Concrete
Most of our calls come from homeowners who want it done right without a lot of back and forth, so that's how we set up every job.
Straight answers on the first visit
I look at every job and write the estimate myself, and I'm the one who runs it, so you get a straight answer standing in your driveway instead of waiting on a callback.
Estimates you can line up
Your written estimate spells out the groundwork, the joints and the cleanup, so you can set it beside any other bid and see what each one leaves out.
Money goes into the base first
The base is buried on day one, so it's the first thing a cheaper bid cuts. We dig it out and pack it instead of raking dirt level, because that's what decides whether a slab settles.
Planned around your household
We plan where you'll park while the driveway is out and how to keep kids and pets off fresh concrete. Call (205) 756-6874 and we'll work it out with you.
How a concrete job runs with us
From your first call to the final walk-through, here's what happens and who you'll be dealing with along the way.
Call or send a request
Call (205) 756-6874 or fill out the contact form and tell us what's going on, whether it's a cracked driveway, water sitting by the patio or a new slab you want added. We reply within one business day and set a time for me to come out and see it.
Measure and written estimate
I come out, measure, look at the ground and where the water runs, and talk through what you want. Then you get a free written estimate that says what's included, so nothing is left to guess, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
Permit, date and pour
Once you say go, we set a date and check which office covers your address. If the job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and set up the inspections. Our own crew forms, pours and finishes the concrete, and I'm on site for the pour.
Cleanup and walk-through
When the forms come off, we clean up and walk the finished job with you. I'll tell you when it's ready for foot traffic and when it's ready for the car, since fresh concrete needs time to cure before it takes weight.

Questions about concrete work in Northport, AL
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Northport, AL?
It depends on the size and thickness of the driveway, how much old concrete has to come out and how much work the ground needs, so I give you a number after I see it. The estimate is free and written out so you can see what's included. There's more on our driveway page.
Is stamped concrete more expensive than plain concrete?
Usually yes, because stamping adds color, pattern work and more hands on the slab while it's still soft. A plain broom finish costs less and wears well on driveways and walks. If you're torn between them, ask me to price both.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because the slab has to cure before it can carry a car's weight. The exact wait depends on the mix and the weather, so I'll give you the timing for your job before we pour.
Is Northport Concrete licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. In Northport, the city's Revenue Department also requires a city business license from any business working inside the city limits or within 3 miles outside them, even one based somewhere else.
Who actually does the work when I hire a concrete contractor?
With us, our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing, and I'm on site for the pours. Your job isn't handed off to someone you've never met, so the plan we talked through on the first visit is the plan we follow.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our promise is "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." Because your written estimate lists what's included, from the base to the cleanup, we both know up front what the job covers.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
Concrete can crack as it shrinks, so the goal is to control where it cracks and keep the slab from settling. We cut control joints, straight grooves that give the slab a planned place to crack, and the base gets dug out and packed as described above. We also plan pours away from the hottest part of the day, since concrete that dries too fast can end up with a weak, dusty top.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Northport, AL?
It depends on the job, and in Northport the office to ask is the Chief Building Official. That office handles permits for new construction and alterations inside the city limits and within 3 miles outside them, and you can reach it at 205-333-3027 or through the city's inspections page. If your job needs one, the paperwork is on us.
