Why homeowners hire us for concrete work

Most trouble on a concrete job starts with a rushed schedule or a step nobody owned. Everything below is how we keep that off your job.

  1. A plan from the first visit

    Before anyone shows up with a shovel, you'll know what happens, in what order and who's handling each part, so there's no guessing about what comes next.

  2. The estimator runs your crew

    I'm the one who comes out, looks at the job and writes the estimate, and I lead the small crew that forms, pours and finishes it, so nothing gets lost between the visit and the pour.

  3. Estimates you can compare

    Your written estimate spells out what's included and what's left out, so you can line it up against other quotes instead of guessing what a lower number skipped.

  4. Pour dates set by the concrete

    We schedule the pour around what the concrete needs, not an open spot on our calendar. A slab rushed in under midday heat can end up with a weak, dusty top, so I'd rather move a date.

Concrete contractor services in Medford, MA

Formcraft Medford Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor in Medford, MA, with 16 services that cover new slabs, steps, walls and foundations, plus cutting and raising concrete that's already there. The price usually turns on the size and thickness of the slab, how much digging and packing the ground needs before the pour, whether old concrete has to come out first and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on whether the city wants a permit and on curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength before it takes feet or tires. Your written estimate lays out each of those for your job.

  • White concrete sidewalk runs beside a blue house and white picket fence, leading to the front porch.

    Concrete driveway building

    We build concrete driveways from the dirt up, digging out and packing a solid base, then pouring a slab sized for your cars and pitched to shed water.

  • Stamped concrete patio beside a house, furnished with gray outdoor seating beneath a covered deck.

    Want a spot out back for a table and grill? We pour concrete patios on a packed base, sloped slightly so rain runs away from the house.

  • Stamped concrete driveway with a textured gray finish extends in front of a white house and garage.

    Stamped concrete services

    Stamped concrete presses the look of stone, brick or slate into a fresh patio, walk or driveway, for homeowners who want a pattern without laying pavers.

  • A newly poured concrete driveway and sidewalk lead to a detached garage, with caution tape across the fresh pavement.

    Concrete sidewalk building

    A cracked, uneven walk becomes a new concrete sidewalk with a broom finish, a light ridged texture that gives shoes some grip when it's wet.

    Garage floor concrete

    We pour garage floors made to carry cars and storage, for homeowners replacing a chipped, sinking slab or finishing a newly built garage.

    Decorative concrete

    Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and custom finishes on patios, walks and pool areas, for houses where plain gray concrete doesn't suit.

  • Raised stamped concrete patio step runs along a house beside sliding glass doors.

    Concrete retaining walls

    What holds back a slope in a tight yard? A poured concrete retaining wall, formed in place with rebar, the steel inside that helps it resist the soil's push.

  • A gray stamped-concrete patio with an irregular stone pattern beside a brick house, wooden stairs, and a fenced lawn.

    We pour concrete decks around new and existing pools, with a textured surface for footing and a slope that sends splash water away from the pool.

  • Concrete entry steps and walkway leading to a brick home, bordered by mulched flower beds.

    Concrete steps construction

    Front steps crumbling or sinking? We form and pour new concrete steps with even risers, so every step is the same height underfoot.

  • A large gray stamped-concrete patio with rectangular stone patterns beside a brick house and covered outdoor area.

    We pour slab foundations for additions, garages and outbuildings, with the ground graded and packed before the truck arrives, for owners building something new.

  • A light gray decorative concrete patio with large stone-like panels and a raised tier beneath a wooden deck.

    Concrete footings

    Footings are the concrete pads or strips under a foundation, deck or porch that spread its weight into the ground. We dig and pour them to the plans.

  • A broad tan concrete driveway with decorative stone borders leads to a stucco house and open garage.

    Foundation raising

    Is a slab or foundation sinking and uneven? We lift it back toward level and firm up the support under it, so it sits on steadier ground.

How a concrete job runs with us

From the day you reach out to the day we clean up, here's the order things happen in, so you know who's doing what at each step.

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (781) 628-7780 or send the contact form with a few lines about what you want built and where the property is. We reply within one business day to set up a time for me to come out and see it in person.

  2. I visit and write it up

    I come out, walk the site, look at the ground and where water runs, and ask what you're after. Then you get a written estimate, free and with no obligation, that spells out what's included and what isn't, so you can weigh it against other quotes.

  3. We plan and pour

    If you go ahead, I line up the paperwork, the materials and the pour date, and tell you the order things happen in. Then my crew digs out, packs the base, forms, pours and finishes, with me on site running it from start to finish.

  4. Cleanup and handoff

    We keep you posted until the job is done, then clean up the site. Before we leave, I tell you how long to stay off the new slab while it cures, so it has time to gain strength before it takes feet or a car.

About us

Medford, the city we work from

Medford is home base for us, and a lot of what we pour here goes into everyday spaces, like the driveway you back out of each morning and the steps up to the front door. Off the clock, people here head to Wright's Pond, one of the city's parks, for its freshwater beach, or up into the Middlesex Fells Reservation to hike, bike or let the dog run.

It's a city with a long history, which the Medford Historical Society & Museum tells, from its abolitionist past to its old rum making. That age shows in the work we see here, with older houses, tight lots and concrete that's settled, cracked or been patched more than once, so we plan each job around what's already there and bring the same approach to the cities around Medford.

Questions about concrete work in Medford

(781) 628-7780
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Medford, MA?

The cost of a concrete driveway depends mostly on its size and thickness, the digging and base work the ground needs and whether the old driveway has to come out first. A stamped or decorative finish adds to it. I'll give you a written figure after I see the site.

Why do concrete quotes vary so much between contractors?

Quotes usually differ in what they include, and the biggest gap is often the base, the dug-out and packed subgrade the slab sits on. It's hidden the day the concrete goes in, so it's the easiest place to cut cost. I won't skimp on it, because a slab settles with whatever is under it.

How long will I be without my driveway or patio?

It depends on the size of the job and on curing, the wait while fresh concrete gains strength, which comes first before you walk on it and longer before you drive on it. I'll tell you how long to stay off yours before we pour.

Is your concrete company licensed and insured?

Yes, we're licensed and insured. When a job needs a building permit in Medford, the contractor filing it has to register a license with the city, and we tell you up front that we're the ones pulling it.

Do you remove my old concrete before pouring the new slab?

Yes, when the old slab has to go, breaking it out and hauling it away is part of the job. Your written estimate lists it as its own item, so you can see what it adds.

Do you guarantee your concrete work?

Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Before we start, the written estimate spells out what's included, so we both know what the finished job should look like.

Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?

Concrete can crack, but most bad cracking comes from a weak base, poor drainage or joints cut late, and those are the steps we plan for. We pack a solid base, check where water runs and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a chosen place to crack.

Do I need a permit for concrete work in Medford, MA?

It depends on the job, and the building official at the City of Medford's building department makes that call. The state code lets some work go ahead without one, such as ordinary repairs and retaining walls holding back less than four feet of soil that the official sees no safety risk in. We check with the department before scheduling, handle the application when one's needed and start only once the permit card is issued.
