Concrete Contractors in Bloomfield, IN

Bloomfield was founded on a practical choice, and concrete contractors here follow the same thinking. In 1824 Greene County laid out Bloomfield as its new seat because Burlington, the old seat to the west, lacked a reliable water source. Bloomfield incorporated as a town in 1850. In 2020 it had 2,289 residents and 1,206 homes; 15.3% of those homes were empty, and the rental vacancy rate reached 16.9%. The town sits at about 600 feet.

Homes that sat empty

With about one in seven housing units vacant in 2020, some Bloomfield homes have gone through periods of being empty. When a house sits, the concrete around it does not get much care: cracks go unsealed, downspouts come loose, and water works its way under slabs. New owners and landlords often call us to deal with:

• Front steps that have cracked or pulled away
• Walks with heaved or sunken panels
• Driveways that have broken into pieces
• Garage floors that have settled at the door

We prioritize safety items first and give you a written quote that separates what needs doing now from what can wait.

Courthouse square and historic blocks

The late-1800s brick Greene County Courthouse stands on the site of the town's first log courthouse. It was expanded and renovated in 2008 and listed on the National Register that year. Older blocks near the square have narrow lots and old walks. We pour replacement walks and steps that fit the look of the street, with broom finishes and tooled edges.

River country nearby

South of town, Richland Creek reaches the White River, and the Richland-Plummer Creek Covered Bridge, built in 1883 by A.M. Kennedy and Sons and listed on the National Register in 1993, stands roughly 1.75 miles away. Ground near creeks and rivers can be soft. On lower lots we dig out wet soil, build up a compacted stone base and set slabs to shed water.

Driveways and garage slabs

A new driveway or a garage floor is one of the most useful upgrades on a Bloomfield lot. We pour driveways with a compacted base and joints at regular spacing, and garage slabs with thickened edges and anchor bolts. For widening an existing drive, we tie new and old concrete together or separate them with a joint.

Choosing between repair and a fresh start

If more than about a third of a driveway or walk is cracked, sunken or flaking, starting fresh often costs little more than piecemeal repair and looks better. Below that, targeted repair is usually the better value. We show you the panels we would replace and why.

A driveway with sound panels and one broken corner, for example, can usually keep most of its slab: we saw-cut the bad section along the nearest joints, rebuild the stone under it and pour new concrete flush with the old.

Rentals and turnover

With a 16.9% rental vacancy rate in 2020, plenty of Bloomfield rentals sit empty between tenants. That gap is the easiest time to fix concrete: no one has to walk around barricades, and a new walk or stoop can cure fully before move-in. For landlords we split the estimate into safety items (steps, trip edges, handrail anchors), water items (slabs pitched toward the foundation, failed downspout splash areas) and items that can wait (driveway cosmetics, patios). Then you can plan the work across turnovers instead of doing it all at once.

Patios and stamped concrete

We build back patios in plain broom finish or stamped patterns like brick, flagstone and slate. Stamped work needs sealing after it cures and again every few years. Call (812) 286-8782 to set up a free estimate in Bloomfield.
