Concrete Contractors in Maryvale, AZ

Developer John F. Long opened Maryvale in 1955, and ABC15 reports that most early buyers were young veterans using the GI Bill. Concrete contractors in Maryvale work on some of the oldest tract-home concrete in the Valley. Point2Homes' census summary shows 12.9% of homes built in the 1950s, 12.9% in the 1960s and 25.2% in the 1970s, with a median year of 1968.

Built fast, sixty years ago

Long's demand was so strong that 350 houses sold off plans in 1954, and sales hit 125 a week in 1956. Wikipedia describes an assembly-line-like process. ABC15 reports early homes came with a garage, front and back yards, and a pool. Concrete from that era was poured quickly and often thin. After six decades:

• Driveways and carport slabs are broken into many pieces
• Walks have heaved or sunk
• Original pool decks are cracked and separated from the coping
• Patios are small and often lower than the door

Most of this calls for replacement rather than patching.

Rebuilding the right way

We remove old concrete, check the soil, compact and add base, then pour at a thickness for today's vehicles. Joints go in at the right spacing so future cracks stay in straight lines. For pool decks we slope away from the water and choose a cool, textured finish.

A big village

As of 2010 it held 208,189 people on 37.6 square miles, more than any other Phoenix urban village. The housing mix includes the 1950s core near 47th Avenue and Indian School Road, where 12News reports the early model homes can still be seen, as well as later 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods. Concrete age varies street to street.

Permits in Phoenix

Maryvale is within the City of Phoenix. Work at the street, such as a driveway approach or sidewalk, often requires city review. We check what applies before scheduling.

Investor and flip projects

If you are fixing up a Maryvale property to sell or rent, concrete can make a big difference in curb appeal for the money: a new driveway, a clean walk and a refreshed patio. We can scope work to fit a renovation schedule and coordinate with your other trades. We still build it to last, with proper base, thickness and joints, because cracked concrete a year after a sale is a problem for everyone. Tell us your timeline and we will lay out what can be done before listing.

Alleys and back access

If your block has an alley behind the homes and backyard access is tight from the front, the alley can be the easiest way to bring in a concrete buggy or pump line, as long as we keep it clear for neighbors and city services. We check access on the first visit and plan the pour around what the lot allows.

If there is no alley and the side yards are narrow, we can run a pump hose over a fence or between houses. That costs more than a direct pour from the truck, so we explain the access plan and its effect on the price on the written quote, before anything is scheduled. We keep the alley clear by the end of each day.
