New Paradigm Companies has been offering grading and drainage solutions, earthworks services, and construction services in the Fox Valley since 2020. New Paradigm Companies (NPC), was founded by a tenured environmental and building professional with over 15 years experience who had a dream to create a firm that addressed building performance and sustainability needs in the construction and earthworks industry in order to provide sound scientific solutions to improve our homes and land. The idea of "New Paradigm" came about as our desire to change the thought process in the home building industry as well as how we look at and manage our habitats and land. The term "paradigm" is essentially a deep ceded thought process (think of the term, "This is the way we always do that"). That statement essentially encompasses a "paradigm" or a set of values or ethos that we have. We want to change the way we think about our homes and habitats as a more comprehensive and holistic management system instead of our task focused system currently in place... thus "New Paradigm".
"Excellent work and very professional. Chris is very knowledgeable, has excellent equipment to complete a wide variety of excavating, earthwork and landscaping projects."

"Fox Valley Friends, word of advice if you're in the market for some concrete/brick work - stay clear of Kevin Huck Masonry. No Professionalism, messy work, unorganized, and worst of all, he won't follow through on commitments. I'm still waiting on him to finish sealing the steps and driveway pad he put in. We are three months post install and I've already got mortar cracking and breaking out, which he said he would repair, but now he won't respond to calls or texts. When I did finally get in touch with him (I had to call from a different number to get him to answer) he committed to a date and time, but he never showed. I also had to break up a pad of extra waste concrete that he poured into my neighbor's driveway because he never showed back up to clean up his mess. I also had to ask him more than once to do simple things like clearning up up after himself after leaving broken brick and dried mortar in my grass. I've sent 12 texts since the end of August which have gone unanswered. He won't answer my call. I personally know another family that he has bailed on as well after misleading them about project costs. The guy is NOT somebody you want to do business with."

You’ll start by breaking the slab into manageable pieces and hauling the debris away with heavy machinery or sturdy hand tools. For concrete under three inches thick, a crowbar or sledgehammer often does the trick; thicker slabs call for a jackhammer and full protective gear.
Pros bring specialized tools, handle recycling when possible, and finish the job quickly and safely—another reason many homeowners call in a contractor instead of tackling it solo.
You’ll need a permit only if your local building department says so. Small, non-structural projects often slip under the radar and don’t require permits, but major demolition almost always triggers a permit and inspection. Check with your city or county before the first swing of the sledgehammer to avoid fines and delays.
With the right crew and equipment, most concrete demolition wraps up in a single day. Thickness, strength, and square footage are the biggest time factors, so larger or reinforced slabs can stretch the schedule. Pros use specialized tools to move fast without putting nearby structures at risk, keeping the job both safe and efficient.
Start by multiplying the slab’s length and width to get total square footage, then multiply that number by the going rate of $2 to $6 per square foot for slabs up to six inches thick. For thicker concrete, double the square-foot price. Don’t forget to ask whether disposal—costing $50 to $100 per ton—is already in the quote. Checking that line item keeps your estimate realistic.
Yes—think about reinforcement before you pour the replacement slab. Rebar or wire mesh boosts strength and durability on big projects like patios, decks, and driveways, helping the concrete stand up to heavy loads and changing weather. A local concrete pro can tell you exactly what gauge and pattern will give you the best long-term performance.
