Concrete work planned from the ground up

for homes and properties alike

I learned concrete on a municipal crew, pouring sidewalks, curbs and steps to city standards. I started this business to bring that same discipline to homes and properties, and I still treat every pour the way that crew taught me.

Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, steps and garage floors, and property owners call us for parking lots, footings and foundation work. Either way, we plan the base, the drainage and the joints before anything is poured, because those are the parts nobody sees once the concrete is down.

We're based in Portsmouth, VA and work in many of the cities around it, from Norfolk and Chesapeake to Smithfield and Moyock, NC. You can read more about us, or reach us at (757) 731-7248 or through our contact page.

You can count on a plain explanation of every part of your job, given before we pour and not after.

  • Planned before the pour

    We work the by-the-book way I learned on a city crew, settling the base, slope and joints before a truck is ever called. That planning helps keep your slab from sinking or cracking where nobody chose.

  • Estimate and job, same person

    I come out to see your job myself, and then I run the work alongside our own crew. What we agree on at your property is what gets built, with no handoff to a stranger.

Dependable concrete work

from the base up

Most of what decides how long concrete lasts is out of sight by the end of pour day, so that's where we spend the most care.

Good concrete protects your house from water and your budget from a second pour. We dig out the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, pack a firm base, and check where rain will run so the slab falls away from your house, not toward it.

If a budget gets tight, the base is the last place I'd trim, because a fancy finish over a weak base still settles. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that tell the slab where to crack, on time, and we give the concrete its curing time, the wait that lets it gain strength before you walk or drive on it.

How we work

  1. Call or write to us

    Please call (757) 731-7248 or send the form below. We reply within one business day and set a time to come see the job.

  2. Visit and estimate

    I come out myself, look over the site and ask how you'll use the concrete. Then you get a free estimate, explained in plain words, with no obligation.

  3. The work and final walk

    If you go ahead, I run the job with our crew and take care of any permits and inspections. When it's done, we walk the finished work together.

Why people choose Advantage Portsmouth Concrete

  • Permits and inspections handled

    When a job needs a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections ourselves. If it isn't clear whether one is needed, we check with the local building office before we start.

  • Every line explained

    We go over each part of your estimate in plain words, so you can decide in your own time. I'd rather explain something twice than have you surprised later.

  • One crew for homes and properties

    The same crew that pours a backyard patio also builds parking lots, footings and foundations, so a property owner with several jobs can keep one contractor.

  • Straight talk about cracks

    Concrete can crack, and I'll tell you so at the estimate. We place those control joints so any cracks usually follow them instead of running across the middle of your slab.

You can count on knowing what we'll build, why we'll build it that way, and what happens next.

Your Portsmouth concrete crew

on the job start to finish

Our crew handles a full range of concrete work for homes and commercial properties, including:

Our crew treats your yard like it matters, because it does. We lay boards where trucks and wheelbarrows cross the grass, keep the forms tidy, and clean up the washout and scraps before we leave each day.

Being without your driveway or patio for a while is part of the job, since fresh concrete needs time to cure. I'll tell you before we pour how long to keep feet and cars off it, so you can plan around it.

Our commitment to you in Portsmouth

on every job we take

Before any work starts, I walk you through what we'll dig out, where the water will run and where the joints will go, so the plan is clear to both of us. If something changes once the old slab is up, we stop and talk it through with you before we go on. Thank you for trusting us with your property.

You can count on careful work, plain answers and a finished job that matches what we agreed on at your property.
