Trusted Concrete Contractor in Charleston WV - Concrete That Holds Up

Charleston is the capital and largest city in West Virginia, home to roughly 46,000 to 48,000 people and built across a series of hills and ridges above the Kanawha and Elk rivers. Many of the city's homes - particularly in neighborhoods like Kanawha City, South Hills, and the West Side - were built in the mid-20th century. That older housing stock means original driveways, sidewalks, and patios that are now decades past their useful life.

The terrain here creates real challenges for concrete work. Steep lots, clay-heavy soils, and the heavy rainfall that hits the Kanawha Valley - Charleston receives around 44 inches of rain a year - combine with freeze-thaw winters to accelerate wear on any outdoor surface. The city has also experienced significant flooding events, including major flooding in 2016, which underscores why drainage planning matters so much in this area. The iconic West Virginia State Capitol sits along the Kanawha River near the center of the city, and homes within a few miles of it run the full range from historic brick structures to newer construction up in the South Hills.
