Our Services
Concrete repair in Billings, Laurel, Lockwood and across the Yellowstone Valley is section work. Cracked walk panels, heaved trip edges, settled driveway sections, spalled patios and crumbling steps all get the same treatment. We saw cut the failed section on the joint lines, break it out, haul it off and rebuild the base. Then we pour new concrete and match the finish and joint lines of the slab beside it.
We do not lift slabs. There is no mudjacking, foam injection or slab leveling here, so a sunken section gets cut out and replaced. When cracking runs across most of the slab, we price a full tear-out and repour instead. Either way the price comes from looking at your actual concrete, in person and in writing.

Billings Logan airport averages about 81 freeze-thaw cycles in a year. Water works into a crack or under a panel, freezes overnight and swells. Every cycle pries that crack wider and lifts the panel a little higher. Deicer and plow blades go to work on the surface, which is the flaking you see on older walks. Add a soft spot in the base, a tree root, or water draining beside the slab, and a section moves.
The call between repair and replacement is usually simple. One or two bad panels in a walk or drive that is otherwise sound is concrete repair. We take those panels out and pour new ones in their place. Cracks running across most of the slab put it past section work. So does a base that has failed under the whole thing, and that is a full removal and replacement job. Our driveway cost guide and slab cost breakdown show what moves the price. You get that read in person, and the written estimate is free.
City of Billings Public Works looks for hazards in the public sidewalk. Its Sidewalk Repair and Construction Programs brochure names tripping hazards and uneven joints caused by settling, cracks or spalling. If your walk is on the list, the City notifies you as the property owner. The notice covers where the repair is required and how long you have. It also explains how the work can be done under the City Sidewalk Program. From there you can hire a contractor or have the City do it. The brochure says grinding may correct simple cases, while worse ones need replacement.
If you hire the repair out, ask about the permit first. Work in the public right of way runs under a right-of-way permit. The City issues those permits to bonded and insured contractors and inspects the work. Walks and drives entirely on private property that carry no structure need no building permit. Costs assessed to the owner cover construction plus engineering, inspection and administration fees. The City may offset part of that, and the balance is payable in a lump sum or in installments. Billings averages 57.4 inches of snow a year. The walk out front has to be cleared within 24 hours of a snowfall. A raised lip that grabs a shovel or a plow blade is the thing the City wants gone.
A section repair starts with a saw cut. We cut square on the joint lines so the new concrete meets the old on a clean edge. The broken piece comes out and leaves with us. Then we deal with the reason it failed, which is almost always the ground under it. Soft or washed out base gets dug out, replaced and compacted before the forms go up. The new section is poured to the thickness of the concrete around it and finished with a broom. We tool the joints on the same lines, so the repair sits in the run instead of standing out.
Surface products are where most concrete repair money gets wasted here. Crack filler, resurfacers and thin overlays sit on top of concrete that is already coming apart. With 81 freeze-thaw cycles a year, water gets behind that layer and peels it off. Replacing the section puts sound concrete all the way through the panel. When the failure has spread past a section or two, we price the work as new flatwork. That covers new sidewalks, patios and steps, a poured concrete driveway, or a garage slab or parking pad.

(406) 717-4103From the first look at the job to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
We come see the actual job — the slab, the driveway, the lot, and the ground under it. What failed, why it failed, and what the fix really is. No blind quotes over the phone.
You get a free written quote with a real number and a real timeline. It says what's included — tear-out, haul-off, prep, materials — and it holds unless the scope changes.
The crew shows up when we said and does the job the way we quoted it — tear-out, base, forms, pour, pave, seal or stripe. Anything unexpected, you hear about it immediately, not on the invoice.
We walk the finished work together before we call it done. Clean lines, clean site, old material hauled off, and clear guidance on cure times and care. Done means you say it's done.
