Apex Concrete

Concrete contractor in Centerville, OH

Centerville's older core carries architectural review on top of the usual city permit, and the two ask completely different questions about the same driveway or front walk.

Apex Concrete pours across Montgomery County and gives you a fixed written price after measuring the actual space in Centerville — not a guess over the phone.

Two approvals, two different questions

In and around the historic district a homeowner's project can need architectural review as well as a city permit. The board looks at finish, colour and how the work reads from the street; the city looks at the right-of-way, the apron and where the water goes. We bring physical samples and written specs for the first and handle the permit filing for the second, so nothing comes back for answering the wrong question. Outside the district it is the ordinary process, but a Centerville patio or walk in the old blocks is worth pricing with that review time built into the schedule.

Limestone closer than expected

Parts of Centerville and the surrounding township sit on shallow bedrock, and finding rock partway through an excavation changes the job in front of you. The choice is a shallower section carrying more steel, or breaking the rock out to reach depth, and neither is a decision worth making quietly — we price the difference and say it out loud before continuing. It matters most on work that needs depth rather than area: footings for steps, a shed slab, a sunken patio. For a straightforward driveway replacement in Centerville the rock is usually deep enough not to enter the conversation.
