Concrete Driveway & Sidewalk Contractor in Oregon, Toledo & Northwest Ohio

Concrete Driveways & Sidewalks Done Right

Cracked, heaved and crumbling concrete is more than an eyesore; it is a trip hazard and a drainage problem that can direct water toward your foundation. JL Construction & Remodeling tears out and replaces concrete driveways, sidewalks, front walks, aprons, garage floors and slabs for homeowners and property managers across Oregon, Toledo, Northwood, Rossford, Maumee and Northwest Ohio. We build flatwork to handle vehicle traffic, road salt and the freeze-thaw cycles that ruin poorly built concrete.

The work that matters most happens before the truck arrives. We remove the old concrete, excavate soft or organic soil, and install and compact a crushed stone base. Forms are set to proper slope for drainage, reinforcement is placed, and we pour air-entrained concrete suited to Ohio winters. Control joints are cut or tooled at the right spacing to guide cracking, and the surface is given a broom finish for traction. We explain curing and sealing so your new concrete gets off to the right start.
