New Construction Concrete: what you should know first
Flatwork for new residential construction is our bread and butter. Builders around Columbus, Grand Island, and the towns between keep a slot for us because the two things that matter to a builder — the schedule and the callback list — are the two things we're built around.
You get a locked start date in writing, one crew that answers to the owner standing on your site, and slabs built the same way every time: compacted base, rebar, five inches, joints on schedule. That consistency is what keeps your concrete off the one-year punch list.

How J Gehring builds it
One point of contact: Jerry
No layers between you and the person running the pour. Site question at 7am? You're talking to the guy who can answer it.
Written start dates you can build a schedule around
We commit in writing and we protect the date. If weather moves it, you hear from Jerry immediately — not from an empty jobsite.
The same spec on every house
Compacted base, rebar in every pour, five-inch driveways, joints cut on time. Your homeowner's slab looks the same in year five as it did at closing.
Photo documentation throughout
Base prep, steel placement, pour, and cuts — documented, so you have a record for every lot.

Step by step
How the job runs
- 1
On-site estimate
Jerry walks your ground himself and gives you an honest read of what it needs — including whether your project should wait a season.
- 2
Written itemized quote + locked start date
You see exactly what you're paying for, and you get a start date in writing before work begins.
- 3
Pre-construction meeting
Before a tool comes out, we walk the plan together — layout, grades, access, and what to expect each day.
- 4
Base day: excavate + deep compaction
We spend the first day on the base. Deep subgrade compaction happens before any concrete is ordered.
- 5
Form, rebar, pour at 5"+
Forms set to grade, rebar in every pour — not an upcharge — and a minimum of five inches of concrete.
- 6
Joints cut on schedule + finish
Control joints get cut before the slab picks its own crack line, not days late. Then the finish you chose.
- 7
Final walk-around with you
Before the crew leaves, you and Jerry walk the whole job together. Questions answered on the spot.
