Concrete work in Bryan, TX
Modern Bryan Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor in Bryan offering 16 kinds of work, from flatwork like driveways, patios and walks to foundations, retaining walls and foundation raising. Whatever the job, the goal is concrete that sits on solid ground and sends water away from your house instead of toward it. The price mostly turns on the size, how much digging and base work the ground needs, whether old concrete has to come out and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the weather, any permit the job needs and what we find once the ground is open. Your written estimate spells out the method and what's included, so you can see your own figure and the reason behind it.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways on a dug-out, packed base, then cut control joints, grooves that give cracks a planned line to follow.
Concrete patio construction
Want a patio that drains away from the house? We set the slope before the pour, so rain runs off the slab instead of pooling against your walls.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete is pressed with a pattern while it's still wet, so a patio or walk can look like stone or brick and still wear like one slab.
Concrete sidewalk building
Sidewalks are where I started. We pour walks for homes and businesses with a broom finish, a light swept texture that helps feet grip when it's wet.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor carries cars and heavy tools, so we pour new garage slabs thick enough for that load and finish them smooth enough to sweep clean.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and custom finishes for patios, walks and entries. We'll show you the options and tell you plainly how each one wears.
Concrete retaining walls
We build concrete retaining walls that hold back soil on sloped yards and lots, with a way for water behind the wall to drain so it doesn't push.
Concrete floor installation
Need a concrete floor in a shop, barn or addition? We pour it on a packed base and finish it to suit how the room will be used.
Concrete pool decks
We pour concrete pool decks with a texture meant for wet, bare feet and a slope that carries splash water away from the pool and the house.
Concrete steps construction
Building new front or back steps? We pour concrete steps with every rise the same height, because uneven steps are the ones people trip on.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation is the concrete a building sits on. We prepare the subgrade, the ground under it, and set rebar, the steel that holds it together.
Foundation installation
We install foundations for new homes, additions and outbuildings, setting forms and steel to the plan before the pour so the walls above start square and level.
Concrete parking lot building
Business owners and property managers call us for concrete parking lots built for daily traffic, with drainage planned so water doesn't sit where people park.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete under posts, walls and decks that spreads the weight into the ground. We dig and pour them to the depth the plan calls for.
Foundation raising
Slab or foundation sinking? We find out why it settled, usually the soil or water under it, before we raise it back toward level.
Concrete cutting
When old concrete stands in the way of a doorway, drain line or repair, we saw it cleanly instead of breaking out more than the job needs.
What you get when we pour your concrete
We want you to understand your concrete job well enough to judge it, not just pay for it. Concrete cracks, so we'd rather explain where and why before the pour than surprise you later.
Same person quotes and pours
I walk your job and write the estimate, then lead the crew on pour day, so the plan you heard is the plan we follow. I explain it in plain words as we go.
Built to city-crew standards
I learned concrete on a municipal crew pouring curbs, sidewalks and driveway aprons that the public used every day. We build your driveway or patio to hold up the same way.
Ground and water come first
Most concrete trouble starts underneath, with a loose base or a slab that drains toward the house. If the budget's tight, cut the fancy finish before the base, because a bad base means tearing out the slab.

Call or send the form
Call (979) 393-7028 or send the form and tell us a little about the job, like a driveway that's sinking or a patio you want built. We reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out to your house or business.
Walk the job, get it in writing
I come out myself to hear what you want and look at the ground and how water moves across it. Then you get a free written estimate that spells out the method and what's included, and I go over it with you until it makes sense. There's no pressure to book.
Pour day
I lead our crew on site. We dig out and pack the base, set the forms and steel, check the slope one more time, then pour, finish the surface and cut the joints while the concrete is still young enough to take them cleanly. Then we clean up.
Learn how to care for it
Before we pack up, I show you how to look after the new concrete while it cures, the stretch when it's still gaining strength. I'll tell you when it's ready for foot traffic, when it's ready for a car and what to keep off it until then.

Bryan, where we live and work
Bryan is home for us, the city of the Discovery Room at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History, the covered pickleball courts at Austin's Colony Park and weekend fishing and boating at Lake Bryan. On jobs here we see older houses with driveways and walks that have settled over the years, newer homes adding a patio, and small businesses that need a lot or a slab that drains.
When a job needs a city permit, it goes through the city's Development Services department, which issues building permits and takes applications online only, with no paper forms. Building contractors also have to register with the city every year before they can apply for permits. We check with the right office and take care of the application before work starts, and I'll tell you what we found out.

Questions about concrete in Bryan
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Bryan, TX?
It depends on the size, the thickness it needs, how much base work the ground calls for and the finish you choose, so I give you a number after walking the job. Tearing out an old driveway adds work, and a plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete.
Why do concrete quotes vary so much between contractors?
Usually they're pricing different work underneath, like how deep they dig, how well they pack the base and whether steel and joints are included. That's why our written estimate spells out the method, so you can compare it line by line.
How long will I be without my driveway when it's replaced?
You're without it through the tear-out, the base work, the pour and the curing wait before it can take a car, and I'll walk you through that timing at the estimate. What we find under the old slab, rain and heat can all move the schedule.
Are you licensed and insured for concrete work?
Yes, we're licensed and fully insured. Ask every contractor you're comparing the same question, because you want that settled before anyone starts digging in your yard.
What does preparing the ground for a concrete slab involve?
We dig out soft soil, pack the base firm and set the forms with the slope checked so water runs away from the house. It's the part you can't see once the slab is down, and it's where most cracking and sinking starts.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Concrete does crack, so I'll show you where the joints go and why before the pour, rather than tell you it won't crack at all.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one?
Most concrete cracks a little, but joints cut at the right time give those cracks a straight line to follow instead of wandering across the slab. Cracks that open wide or sink usually come from a weak base, which is why we spend our time there.
Can you pour concrete in Bryan's summer heat?
Yes, but the timing matters, because concrete that dries too fast in strong afternoon sun can end up with a weak, dusty top. In hot weather we plan pours for the cooler part of the day and keep the surface from drying out too quickly.
