"Andres discussed several options with me for a raised deck or patio to the backdoor. He set a reasonable price for all the work he did: raised concrete patio with stairs, door installation, wood railings plus he and his crew were extremely helpful with small jobs I asked for. In the small community I live in it is very hard to find responsive, reliable, reasonable contractors who do the job RIGHT! So glad I found him."

"Everything went smoothly. Kevin came out quickly to do the estimate. He was very understanding as we made some changes from the original proposal to get the project in our budget and needs. This did take some time and a couple times I followed up again because I hadn't heard anything, but overall Kevin is very responsive by email, phone, or text. Once everything with the bid was squared away, the project moved really fast. The whole project was done in less than a week, and over a month before we needed it to be done for a birthday party we are hosting. The patio itself looks amazing and we have already received so many compliments. Kevin and Mike had some great ideas that I'm glad they shared because they know what they're doing and it shows. I can't say enough about how clean the crew kept the rest of our yard. I really expected the whole project would be messy but they obviously were careful to keep it clean and clean up after themselves. All the guys were friendly and respectful. I would definitely recommend this company for any decorative concrete needs you have. Their price was much more reasonable than the other bid we received."

"Chris and his crew were amazing to work with. Everyone showed up as agreed, listened to our expectations and went above and beyond to try to exceed those expectations. They truly approach the job like they were doing work on their own property. They were neat, professional, courteous and treated our property with respect. I would absolutely use them any time I needed concrete work done. We are thrilled with our beautiful new driveway and walk."

"If Jason doesn't already earn frequent-flier miles for his trips to my house, he will soon.  He has been here on several occasions over the past three years. <br /> Most recently he delivered and installed a water heater, removed the old water heater, installed new washing machine hook-ups, repaired a couple of leaky faucets, attempted to work magic on terminally ill bathroom plumbing, and gave me options on necessary (and extensive) replacement of outdated and no longer reliable plumbing. <br /> He has been available for appointments scheduled weeks in advance, and he has made himself available on short notice for not-quite-emergencies. His work is excellent, his prices are wonderfully reasonable, his response is much appreciated, and his sense of humor is delightful.  I appreciate the way he explains situations and options and is patient with my many questions. <br /> I will be calling on Jason in the near future to redo my bathroom.  Since I have an older home, I anticipate that all of the plumbing needs will be completed in approximately...never.  So, as long as plans persist and emergencies exist, Jason Young will be the person I call.  I highly recommend him for tasks small and large. <br />"

"They were slightly more expensive than other bids but I was more comfortable selecting them.I was very impressed with the "extras" they provided such as removing, moving and replacing a basketball hoop (moved due to driveway expansion) and burying a drainage tile from downspouts (under concrete.) <br />"

FAQs for concrete patios, walks & steps installation projects in Ames, IA

Most sidewalks rely on a ready‑mix blend of Portland cement, sand, gravel, and water that trucks deliver to your site and pour in one continuous lift. For added strength, many contractors fold in fiber mesh or steel reinforcement. This mix cures into a rock‑solid slab that stands up to foot traffic, freeze‑thaw cycles, and daily wear for decades. Expect a pro to recommend a 4‑inch‑thick pour for standard walkways.

With the right mix, proper drainage, and routine upkeep, a concrete sidewalk can last 25 to 50 years. Freeze‑thaw cycles, road salt, and heavy loads all shorten that timeline, but sealing every few years and patching small cracks early keeps damage in check. Think of sealing as inexpensive insurance for decades of safe, stable footing. In milder climates, some slabs push well past the 30‑year mark without major repairs.

Concrete sidewalks crack as a result of significant temperature fluctuations and heavy load pressures. The freeze-thaw cycles and sustained weight from vehicles or intense foot traffic force the concrete to develop cracks over time. Applying a premium sealant every two to three years and substituting salt with sand for de-icing minimizes crack formation. Regular maintenance and timely repairs safeguard the sidewalk’s structural integrity and extend its service life.
