Concrete work for Kingman homes and businesses
The short answer: Kingman Concrete Company is a concrete contractor based in Kingman, and I started it here in 2020 after learning the trade on a municipal crew. We build driveways, patios, walks, garage floors, steps, footings and slab foundations, and I come out to see each job and give the estimate myself.
Our calls in Kingman come from homeowners with a driveway or patio that has cracked, sunk or started holding water, from small business owners who need a lot or a walk redone, and from people building new on their own land. Older homes closer to downtown usually come with slabs that have had years to settle, while newer houses on larger lots farther out often start from bare desert ground, so no two jobs here begin the same way.
We also work in New Kingman-Butler and the other cities around Kingman. Wherever the job is, the first thing I look at is what's under the old slab or the bare dirt and where water runs across the lot, because that shapes everything we do after.
Why Kingman driveways and patios crack and sink
Our summer monsoon runs through July, August and September, and those storms can drop a lot of rain in a short time, with flooding that passes quickly but can do real damage. On a driveway or patio, that water finds every low spot, so a slab that falls back toward the house sends it straight to your foundation, and a base nobody packed can wash out from underneath. Before we set forms, we look at where water runs on your lot and slope the new slab away from the house.
Many of the cracked and sunken slabs we're called out to in Kingman were poured on dirt that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so they settled right along with it. We dig down to firm ground, bring in base material and compact it in layers, because the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, decides how the slab holds up long after the forms come off.
Concrete services we offer around Kingman
Concrete driveway building
When your driveway has cracked across, sunk at the edges or holds water after a storm, we tear it out, rebuild the base and pour a new one.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio helps when the old one tilts toward the house or the backyard is still bare dirt, and we slope it so rain drains away.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete suits a patio or walk where you'd like the look of stone or brick, pressed into fresh concrete, without loose pavers shifting over time.
Concrete sidewalk building
A front walk worth replacing has lifted edges people trip on or slopes back toward the door, and we rebuild it on a packed base.
Garage floor concrete
An old garage floor that's cracked, stained or dusting under the cars can be replaced with a new slab finished smooth enough to sweep clean.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and other finishes for a driveway, patio or entry where plain gray would look out of place next to the house.
Concrete retaining walls
On a sloped Kingman lot, a concrete retaining wall holds back soil that would otherwise wash onto your yard or driveway when heavy rain comes through.
Concrete floor installation
Shops, sheds and additions need a concrete floor that sits level, and we prep the ground and pour it to the thickness the use calls for.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to stay comfortable underfoot and drain splash water away from the pool, so we choose the finish and the slope with both in mind.
Concrete steps construction
Entry steps that have cracked, pulled away from the house or rise unevenly are worth replacing before someone trips, and we form every step the same height.
Slab foundation building
Building a home, shop or garage on your own land can start with a slab foundation, and the ground prep under it decides how well it holds up.
Foundation installation
For a new house, addition or larger outbuilding, we dig, form and pour the foundation the plans call for, and we check the forms before any concrete arrives.
Concrete parking lot building
Small business owners call us when a lot has cracked or holds puddles at the entrance, and we pour it thick enough for daily traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete bases under walls, posts and additions, and they need to sit on firm, undisturbed ground so whatever goes on top doesn't settle.
Foundation raising
When part of a slab or foundation has sunk and left an uneven floor or sticking doors, raising it can bring it closer to level without a tear-out.
Concrete cutting
Concrete cutting helps when you need a door opening, a trench for a new line or one damaged section taken out without breaking up the rest.

Permits and pricing for concrete work in Kingman
Concrete work inside Kingman's city limits runs through the City of Kingman, and permit applications and inspection results go through its online permitting and licensing portal. If your lot sits in unincorporated Mohave County instead, the county's Building Division handles plan review and inspections. Before we set a pour date, we look up which office covers your address and take care of the permit application when the job needs one, so the pour date is planned around that office's review and not ahead of it. The city issues business licenses through that same portal, and it's fair to ask any contractor you're considering about theirs. We're licensed and fully insured, and we're glad to answer that question.
What moves the price here is mostly what's under and around the slab: how much old concrete comes out, how much soft soil we dig out and replace with packed base, how thick the slab has to be for what sits on it, how close a truck can get, and the finish you pick. If the budget gets tight, I'd rather you choose a plain broom finish, the light brushed texture that gives shoes and tires some grip, than cut corners on the base, because nobody sees the base on day one and it decides how the slab looks years from now. The schedule turns on any permit review, the weather and the curing time before you can use the new concrete, and your estimate gives you the figure for your own job. We do the same work in Golden Valley and across the river in Laughlin.

Concrete questions we hear from Kingman homeowners
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Kingman?
The cost of a new driveway in Kingman comes down to its size and thickness, the finish you choose and, most of all, what we find under the old one, so I give you a figure only after I've seen the site. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored concrete, and soft fill under an old slab means more digging and more base before we pour. I'd rather point that out at the estimate than on pour day.
Who do I call about a concrete project in Kingman?
For information on a construction project in Kingman, the city points you to its Building & Life Safety Fire Inspection Division at (928) 753-2891. Applications and inspection results then go through the city portal we mentioned above.
What causes new concrete to crack in Kingman, and how do you prevent it?
Concrete shrinks a little as it dries and moves with the ground under it, so some cracking is normal, and the real goal is to decide where it happens and keep the slab in one piece. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along, soon after the pour rather than days later, and on driveways and floors we usually set rebar, steel bars inside the slab that hold it together if a crack does open. The packed base we described above does the rest of the work.
What is the best way to pour concrete in Kingman's summer heat?
The best way is to pour in the cooler morning hours and keep the new slab from drying out too fast while it cures, which is the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength. Concrete poured in midday heat can set before it's finished properly and turn weak and dusty on top later, so in summer we plan pours early and keep the surface damp afterward.
Is my property in Kingman in a flood zone?
Mohave County says every property is in a flood zone, but only some fall in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the land a flood with a 1-percent chance in any given year would cover, and you can check yours on the county's flood zone page. The county has also issued draft flood maps that update the hazard information for East Kingman and the greater Valle Vista area. Either way, we look at where water runs on your lot before we set the slope of a new slab.
How long does a City of Kingman business license take?
A City of Kingman license can take up to 20 days, depending on the type, and processing starts only once the application, the fees and every required submittal have arrived. Applications go through the city's online portal, and if you get stuck, portal support is at 928-753-8130 or buildingadmin@cityofkingman.gov.
