About our concrete contractor crew in Santa Fe
Who comes out to look at your job, how we plan the work under the slab, and what to expect when you call us.

How I got into concrete
I learned concrete on a big commercial outfit, spending years on large pours and foundation jobs. The part I liked best was the odd problem nobody had a plan for, and I still do, so in 2021 I started Essential Santa Fe Concrete here in Santa Fe to bring that kind of thinking to home work.
Now homeowners and small property owners across the city and the cities around it call us for everything from a new patio to a foundation. I come out to look at the job myself, and I ask a lot of questions before I give any answers. Most concrete trouble starts in the part you can't see, like the base, the drainage and what's under the slab, so that's where I spend my time. Nobody admires a well-packed base at a barbecue, but it's the reason a slab stays put. If you've got a job like that, tell me about it on our contact page.
What you can count on from us
A plan that fits your ground
Before we pour, we look at what your slab will sit on and where the water runs, so you pay for work your site needs and not a one-size plan. Base work is the first thing people want to trim from a budget because it's buried by day one, and it's the one thing we won't skimp on, since a slab only stays as flat as the ground under it.
We take the tricky jobs
Sloped lots, cuts in old slabs and settling foundations are the calls other crews pass on, and they're the ones I enjoy most. We bring the habits from big commercial pours to your driveway, patio or foundation.
The same person from estimate to pour
I write your estimate myself and I'm on site when our crew pours, so nothing gets lost between what we talked about and what goes in the ground. I also check early which office covers your address and handle the permit paperwork for jobs that need it, so that's sorted before work starts.
